Not A Cat Person, But.....

 

I am not a cat person.  But, I know cat people and I am even friends with some cat people.  

It turns out there are lots of people that have cats.  It also turns out that people having cats have no impact on my life whatsoever.  They live their lives with cats.  I live my life without cats.  What they do behind closed doors is none of my business.  I have also learned that what I feel about cats has no bearing whatsoever on people who have cats.  

Has the pandemic made my views about views more extreme?  Sort of the opposite.  Craving all positive social interaction with as many people as I can.  I miss my circle so much that I even crave pictures of people with cats just to see smiling faces.  

Discrimination against the transgender community seems to be higher than ever and I just don't understand it..  I guess it is like every prejudice which is based on ignorance.  But, seriously, what are they afraid of?  I have never heard of anyone in the trans community pressure, or even suggest, anyone become trans.  

Live your best life.  Let others live their best lives.  Focus on your life.  We all have enough to worry about without worrying about something that has no impact on you whatsoever.  Follow the advice that you were probably given as a child.  Mind your own business.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but th...

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just w...

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second pic...
