The inspiration behind this painting:

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”

Charlotte Brontë

 

This last week in Alberta, Canada we elected someone into power who is threatened by people who do not fit into a tidy neat little box.  It wasn’t a surprise to me, I knew Jason Kenney was going to get elected. For all of the time I have lived in Alberta, the conservatives have been in power. The last four years have a been an anomaly. I do not want to get political. I try to avoid it at all costs but this is not about politics. This is about human rights.

It hurts my heart to know that people from the LGBTQ community are worried and scared because the UCP have a majority government.  We have to stand up for these human beings, because it starts with taking away their rights  and ends with taking away all of our rights. No person, group or government should hold the power to take away  another’s free will.  We are all free… we are no birds … we are not ensnared in a net (YET) … we are free human beings with independent will.  We must stand together for this to remain true.  We must stand up against anyone that tries to impede that freedom for our fellow human beings. We cannot be silent.

When you’re in the muck you can only see muck. If you somehow manage to float above it, you still see the muck but you see it from a different perspective. And you see other things too. That’s the consolation of philosophy.

David Cronenberg

I remember as a kid having a balloon and accidentally letting the string go and watching it just float off and into the sky until it disappeared. And there’s something about that, even, that feels very much like what life is, you know, that it’s fleeting, and it’s temporal.

Pete Docter

MAY 2011 Give Away…

Lost In You and, 3″x4″ fine art reproduction mounted on wood (sides are 1.5″ deep and are painted red). It is available for sale on ETSY.

This month, I am running a little behind. It has been a busy few weeks and I anticipate another few to come.

Anyway, I am just loving the blog Joy The Baker. You should check it out but I warn you, you may put several pounds on just browsing through this YUMMY blog! The photos are so delightful as is her writing.  I think I may have a slight crush on this blogger, or at least on her aesthetics!

Do you have a favorite food blog that you can share with me?  I know, I am all about the food. What can I say, it is my passion!

I anticipate some scrummy responses and for your trouble, I will put your name down for a chance to win the above reproduction!

(If your can’t think of a food blog, that is ok, just say ‘hi’ and I will put your name in the hat).

OK, GO!
