Kids and Electronics Can Be a Balancing Act

We live in the information age. As a result, young children are surrounded by electronic toys, mobile phones, tablets and computers and have become surprisingly adept at using them. Common Sense Media, an organization dedicated to safe technology use states that 98 per cent of children under eight years of age have access to a tablet or smartphone. As a parent, how can you make the most of electro Read more of this blog post »

I tried this one when it first came out and couldn't get into it so picked it up again recently. It's alright, interesting to hear what happened later after the original story that was so profound. ...more

This was my first book by this author and I didn't know he was Canadian. The storytelling is strong and lyrical and the characters detailed and profound. It did draw me in quite quickly. It's a dark story however and there is no resolution, the endin ...more

3.75 stars. While the subject matter is a difficult part of Canada's past, the story still manages to be sweet and endearing. The author paints a vivid picture of St. Catherines and its characters. I enjoyed this one a lot. Well done for a first nove ...more

The Names by Florence Knapp
"I liked the book, but I was disappointed because I believe it is being marketed erroneously. The subject of the story is misleading in so much as the summary states that it is about how the impact of your name can change the course of your life when " Read more of this review »

Follows a similar format to the first two books. Interesting read with more current than historical tipping points.

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Viktor E. Frankl
“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.”
Victor Frankl

Corrie ten Boom
“Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.”
Corrie Ten Boom, The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom

Susan Cain
“I am a horse for a single harness, not cut out for tandem or teamwork … for well I know that in order to attain any definite goal, it is imperative that one person do the thinking and the commanding. —ALBERT EINSTEIN”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Shannon L. Alder
“Never rearrange your life in order to meet Mr. Darcy half way. If he couldn’t see your worth at the moment you met then he won’t two years later. May the halls of Pemberly be filled with his regrets and your life filled with thankfulness because of this revelation.”
Shannon Alder
