My Heritage | Easy Silence

https://shelleyperry.wordpress.com/2007/08/31/my-heritage

My thoughts when I have a moment to think. Where I’ve Been…. August 31, 2007. Like I said in the last blog, I wanted to tell you some more about my grandmother because she was one of the great ones (picture above–isn’t she so cute? My grandparents made everyone feel like part of the family, as though there were no limit to the number of people that could belong. They were surrogant parents to many and I truly believe they didn’t have the word ‘judgement’ in their vocabulary (so rare...In 1960 my grandmot...

Red Friday | Easy Silence

https://shelleyperry.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/red-friday

My thoughts when I have a moment to think. On Growing Up…. February 13, 2009. Is it just me, or is it kind of funny that Friday the 13th, the day horror movies are based on, falls right before Valentine’s day this year? I didn’t realize until this morning that this was the case and it made me chuckle. Kristi has affectionately decided to title it “Red Friday.”. Now I am not a dark person, nor am I very romantic, but something about Valentine’s Day mocks my aloneness, and brings out the deeply disillusion...

Pilgrimage | Easy Silence

https://shelleyperry.wordpress.com/2009/07/04/pilgrimage

My thoughts when I have a moment to think. July 4, 2009. For something I have been planning for a long time, I am stunned by how unprepared I feel for my upcoming trip to Ireland. Yes, it’s true, i’m going! I can’t tell you how much this experience has rocked my world. This is new ground for me. As it stands I am4 days away from leaving with about 100 things to do somehow. So for me, the pilgrimage doesn’t begin until the plane takes off with me on it. 8211;The Crazy Pilgrim. Feed for this Entry. Be safe...

Highs and Lows | Easy Silence

https://shelleyperry.wordpress.com/2009/08/03/highs-and-lows

My thoughts when I have a moment to think. Professional Tourist: the Dublin chapter. August 3, 2009. I have successfully covered a big part of the country and have had some life-changing moments of solitude and some life-giving conversations with people…but it’s too soon to think about what I have done because my trip isn’t over yet. That blog will come later. For now I’ll tell you some highlights–and some lowlights for that matter–of the past couple of weeks. Needless to say, the camera is toast. I have...

Professional Tourist: the Dublin chapter. | Easy Silence

https://shelleyperry.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/professional-tourist-the-dublin-chapter

My thoughts when I have a moment to think. Professional Tourist: the Dublin chapter. July 15, 2009. Today I fell in love. After a week in Dublin, I have finally found an affection for Jonathan Swift. I always knew I liked him based on a few satires that I had read, but I never knew exactly how remarkable he was. If he hadn’t been dead for nearly 300 years I would consider making a move. Let me explain…. Here I am calling myself a pilgrim when I am no more than a typical tourist! After my visit to St....

My thoughts when I have a moment to think. January 25, 2009. It’s a new year and already only 3 and a half weeks in, I can tell it’s going to be a transforming one. Why? You ask. How do you know what is coming? Just typing the word scares the crap out of me. But what does that even mean? Well actually, the meaning of the word is a bit precarious. I looked it up, because, well, I have no idea what I am doing and I figured that would be a good place to start. The dictionary defines Vulnerability as:. So yo...

My thoughts when I have a moment to think. On Growing Up…. June 13, 2009. But i am alive and i am well, and i have been told i am so very neglectful of my blog!

Articles | Easy Silence

https://shelleyperry.wordpress.com/more-stuff

My thoughts when I have a moment to think. When I have the chance to write for more than just essays and a blog, here is what I do…. Originally a letter to the editor , this got printed as a “guest opinion” article and appeared in both island newspapers this past September (2007). I think I am not alone in these opinions…. I am a native Islander, and like all of us born in P.E.I., I will always call it home despite the fact that I now live ‘away’ (. And little being put into the care of the locals who ar...

New Beginnings: September 2009

http://mmss07.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands." Isaiah 43:19 (MSG). Sunday, September 27, 2009. Reluctant Clay, Redemptive Potter. But, I appreciated the sentiment. We camped out in the living room with a movie and pizza that night. Others from church offered their sympathies and bemusements, as I tried to explain the situa...How d...
