The single most important empowerment for rising above discouragement
Not going to waste any time here getting to the point. The most important empowerment is having a friend or two that you can connect with whenever the gloomies start invading your happy space. For instance I have one friend who though we are hundreds of miles apart I can call up almost any time […]
Small daily steps or Massive Action?
It\’s very hard to be content with doing small actions when you are starting a new project. The big vision is there like a mountain begging to be climbed. Today. Not tomorrow, not six months down the road. You are so filled with excitement, dreams and plans for getting to the top that the idea […]
Pope Francis\’s two gifts to offer to the world
Last night Jon and I watched 60 Minutes feature story on Pope Francis. It was quite good. I wasn\’t expecting it to be – but it was. The one thing I came away with was that Pope Francis stated that we should offer the world two things.https://sunshinemoments.net/pope-franciss-two-gifts-to-offer-to-the-world/1.)

I don\’t know where I\’m going but I\’m on my way
This is Post Number One at Sunshine Moments. I have been thinking myself into knots trying to figure out what I wanted to do and finally I got so mad at myself I said, \”Dang it!

Canadian geese at Marine Park
So far this month we have had almost five inches of rain. This is about two and a half times the normal dumping if I remember the latest weather report. Today we\’ve only had clouds and a few moments where the sun almost peaked through. But rain or not I wanted to get a photo […]

This post is a bit different
Today\’s post is taking a different path. A more personal, reflective one. That is how I use to write when I was in the monastery and since leaving (it has now been about six years) I try to write like a journalist and it works for an article or two and then I can\’t move. […]
Bricks and Stone in Uptown Vancouver USA
[T]oday in my walk about, I went past this house that I thought was very unique. It was a combined mix of bricks and stone. Probably this is a special technique or some sort of architectural style known to people who know that sort of thing but it was a first look for me. Really […]
Yard and Garden: Uptown Fantasy
[L]ocal art can be found in the most unusual places. Keep your eyes open and it will pop out in someone\’s front yard, leaning against a building or tucked under a bush. It\’s everywhere! Today\’s garden art was found walking along 24th street just off of Columbia Ave. Take a stroll and check it out […]
