• Rebranding

  Thrutheashes.blog is no more. After a few weeks of contemplation, and poking around in WordPress, I have made the decision to merge my photography website and my blog. Thrutheashes served me well when I was in the depths of my mental health recovery, however, in recent months I have come to feel that I am…

  The last couple of weeks have been a blur. Lynn and I travelled home from Calgary on May 1 and I was back in the office on May 2. To say that heading into the office after a week off felt like walking into a meat grinder is almost an understatement. I had quite a…

  Here’s to being another year older and wiser. The birthday celebration was quiet this year. I ended up working out of my Stettler office for the day then met Lynn and a friend for supper at a Stettler restaurant. Lynn did give me a nice birthday present though, a new briefcase for work which I…

  It seems almost fitting that the full moon last night was red. Twenty-one years ago, the United State was hit with an almost unimaginable tragedy. The events of Sept. 11, 2001 are forever etched in my mind. I remember waking up to a phone call that morning from mom, telling me to turn on the…
