Neuro Linguistic Programming
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 28, 2015 8:29pm Yesterday the girls and I rushed out of the house as soon as we’d had breakfast and didn’t return until supper time. The Hiscock family was having yummy pizza for lunch and we were invited. Catherine wasn’t in her usual fine form but all in all we had aContinue reading “Neuro Linguistic Programming”
One-on-one with Catherine
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 26, 2015 1:46am Today Catherine asked me if we could do something together so when Marc came home from work we took off and went to Salmon Arm.

After party blues
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 22, 2015 9:44pm We all had a wonderful time at Pepe’s birthday supper. The meal was simple but oh so delicious. Zoe even ate mushed up rice and carrots.

The Communal Nature of Heaven
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 22, 2015 4:55pm Today when we arrived at Mass there was only one pew that was empty enough that we could all sit together. It was the back row of all places!

Not my imagination but eyes opened
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 17, 2015 12:01am This past Sunday our Pastor told us that we all suffer from blindness in one form or another. When our focus is on one thing we miss something else. I think he said that a lot of the time we are also blind to the ways God worksContinue reading “Not my imagination but eyes opened”
Reality is sinking in slowly.
By Patti Dansereau — Mar 15, 2015 11:41am The mind is such an amazing thing, the way it can protect the body and the spirit in times of trauma. When Bernadette first got sick and we told Catherine the truth of the situation she cried in my arms for a good twenty minutes or more. Continue reading “Reality is sinking in slowly.”
