Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Am in the middle of trying to get all my Christmas cards sent off... not an easy chore when you have to write a general Christmas letter and then translate it into two other languages so everyone can understand it, and then try to remember which people get it in which language... ha ha

I have sent off most of the English ones, and the rest of them are waiting with the Spanish ones to be sent off. So now all I have to do is get the French ones ready... I have to get Dh to proofread first... Noone to proofread the Spanish ones though,... oh well, they know Spanish isn't my first language... they aren't expecting perfection... :)

Had a friend over last week, I went to get her in Quýbec City on Monday and took her back on Friday. Her boyfriend was thinking of leaving her (They have two babies, one 5 months and one 16 months) she was about to have a depression... so I invited her here. Things seem to be going better now for her... but she has personal problems she needs help with...

Well, I must go, I need to clean up after supper upstairs... and put away some letter/card-making supplies...

...so tired still... I need sleep!

We are going out tommorrow night, Marc and I, to his office Christmas party... so I get to be a "Diva" for a night!!! Heh heh...

I used to have so many more things to look forward to than that... I used to get out so much more... I am going crazy here!!! Oh, yeah, and this Saturday, I am taking Jean-Alexandre with me to see the Richelieu Choir's Christmas Concert. Looking forward to that too... I absolutely LOVE to hear a choir sing... there is no instrument more heavenly than the human voice...

Must... go... now...
talk.... later...
Fight... the... good... fight
May the... force... be with.... you... ;)

Sectes

Il y a peut-être un an de cela, une amie m'a dit qu'elle avait entendu dire certains gens traiter Marie-Jeunesse de secte. Mon mari ne connait pas Marie-Jeunesse, mais il est convaincu qu'Opus Dei est un secte et le livre "Le code DaVinci" n'a fait, bien sur, qu'affirmer ses croyances. Pourquoi est-ce que quand un groupe suit le Vatican et ses enseignements et encourage les autres à le faire aussi, même des personnes à l'intérieur de l'Église le traitent de secte?! La suite logique à cela serait de dire que le Vatican lui-même est un secte! Alors ces gens-là pensent quoi? Qu'ils ont la vérité et que c'est le Vatican qui en a dévié? Qu'ils sont les vrais catholiques, alors que le Vatican n'a pas de bons sens? Il y a presque 15 ans j'ai fait partie de Marie-Jeunesse, avant que ce groupe ne devienne communauté religieuse. Laissez-moi vous dire que Marie-Jeunesse n'a rien d'un secte. Libre à vous d'y aller ou d'y par

Crashing into Thin Air - Excerpt From Chapter Seven

-
She was deep into a website project on her laptop when Christian came home later.  She saved her work and closed the laptop. “So?”  She asked, as he sat across the table.  “How was it?” He eyed her.  “You enjoy talking about yourself?” He asked. Joanne nodded. “To a stranger?” Joanne shrugged, “Sometimes that’s easier.”  She said.  “Strangers don’t judge.  They don’t really care.  They aren’t personally involved.” “So you’ve done this before?  Talked to a psychiatrist about your problems?” “Uh, no.  Not really.” Christian shook his head.  “So how can you know you’d like it?  What do you think it’s like, having to go through unpleasant memories that you’d rather forget?  It’s not much fun!” “Sorry.” Joanne replied. “So if you enjoy talking about yourself so much, why don’t you tell me what you were going to tell me this morning?” “You’re not a stranger.” Joanne reminded him.  “That makes things more complicated.  Which doesn’t mean I won’t tell you anything.” She

Problems in Bolivia

-
Now this is what I am talking about. This is what people are fleeing away from, this is why the US has so many illegal immigrants, this is why people have a love-hate relationship with the US, what is the US going to do about it? (From the SOA Watch :) We are writing with grave concern about an emerging conflict in South America´s poorest nation, Bolivia and we need you to take immediate action. Bolivia is facing a critical moment in which the survival of a new era of hope is gravely threatened. After suffering decades of military dictatorships followed by years of economic dictatorship, Bolivia heralded in a new moment of dignity with the election of its first indigenous president, Evo Morales. However, just one month after a recall referendum gave Morales 67% of the vote, Bolivia's secessionist movement has unleashed unprecedented violence throughout the country. After three days of riots, 8 people have died, several government institutions have been destroyed and Bolivia´s gas
