Simple Things

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – September 26, 2004 – I had intended to take today off, but I ended up spending the afternoon with two different clients, at opposite ends of the city. It’s seven o’clock now and I’m back home. It was a glorious day in Toronto. Sunny – not hot – clear, blue cloudless sky. It’s the weather we should have had in August, but didn’t.

On A Roll

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – September 25, 2004 – I am a crazed woman – on the verge. Just which verge it is, I’m not sure – but I’m definitely there.

Business Evaluation

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – September 24, 2004 – I was scheduled to meet a client this morning at eleven for coffee. I was still in my sweats and right in the middle of an evaluation of my business from 1995 to the present, and I really didn’t want to leave.

Re-Grouping

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – September 23, 2004 – I’ve had a lot of time to think about my conversation with Big yesterday and her comments about my being “increasingly intolerant, rigid and resentful of women”.

Is This A Therapy Session? 

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – September 22, 2004 – Little did I know when I started this writing project that it might end up being a year long therapy session. I sit down at my computer (mercifully I haven’t given it a name yet – but I fear it may only be a matter of time) and I write about personal memories, things that have touched my life, things that I find funny.

Enthusiasm

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – September 21, 2004 – It’s hard to think of anything more appealing than genuine enthusiasm.

Tiger Living – An Update

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – September 20, 2004 – How time flies. By now I should be almost through the “cub” stage of my new life and charging full throttle around town as a tiger. If that was the case, my days of living as a chicken would be at an end.
