  • Today is Canada Day

    K. Cindee Doll

    Today marks the 159th year of Canada becoming a Nation. I don’t know about other countries in the world, but in Canada there is dispute about this day. Yes, the land was here prior to 159 years ago. And Yes, there were people who lived on the land before that. However, 159 years ago the…

  • Resilience

    K. Cindee Doll

    It isn’t about falling down, it’s about getting up… one more time. I’ve been seeing a lot of post lately about the resilience of women, or more to the point, the need for resilience. I have spoken a bit about this in other posts (visit my website to read past post; kcindeedoll.ca), I usually put…

  • My Friesen Press journey

    K. Cindee Doll

    I wrote a book. I had people read it. People said I ought to publish. I Googled “how to publish”… I got overwhelmed. I was once-removed from people who had published. I looked up their publisher. Send a Query letter they said. I tried. It didn’t work (more about that in another story). I looked…

  • Through Their Eyes Character intro: Anastasia Atias

    K. Cindee Doll

    Ana lives in a black and white world. It either ‘is’ or it ‘is not’. She takes everything literally, so if you ask her; “What’s up?” she will tell you; “the sky”. And not understand why you asked. Her mother believed in her, though, and helped her to set up a relatively simple life. She…

  • “The road not taken”

    K. Cindee Doll

    Robert Frost This poem for me brings up contemplation and hindsight. I don’t know about you, I sometimes review my life and think about the “what if’s”. Not that I regret anything. I figured out a long time ago, when I finally learned to truly love myself for who I am, that I wouldn’t be…

  • Basement people, balcony people…

    K. Cindee Doll

    Which one are you? I am not sure in which life I came across this concept. Basically there are three kinds of people in the average person’s life. Those who are on the same level as yourself. Those who are above you. Those who are bellow you. The different people on the different levels can…

  • Googling your own name

    K. Cindee Doll

    Have you Googled your own name only to be disappointed? I have. For years I have Googled my own name only to find a plethora of images of different kinds of dolls. Some named Cindy or Sindy, all made of plastic. Never did I find me. Probably because I had never done anything noteworthy or…

  • ‘Tis better to have loved and lost…

    K. Cindee Doll

    Alfred Lord Tennyson Once again I am surprised that the peom related to a quote says way more than the quote has come to mean. I had always thought that this quote meant exactly what it says. That it is better to have known love and lost it than to never have experienced love at…

  • Bob Marley

    K. Cindee Doll

    If he were singing today, would he have the same impact? I love Bob Marley and I love what his music stands for and a lot of what is said in his music. Let’s face it though, one of the things that made him so popular was his support and use of cannabis in the…

  • What is the light at the end of the tunnel?

    K. Cindee Doll

    Get ready for metaphor time… This metaphor is largely known, in fact I don’t know anyone who didn’t know the reference when I have used it in the past. I think it is so largely known because everybody can relate to it. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t gone through a dark time in their…
