One of my favorite books: the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon.
The novel is from the point of view of an autistic 15-year-old, and takes the reader into the chaos of autism and creates a character of such empathy that many readers will begin to feel for the first time what it is like to live a life in which there are no filters to eliminate or order the millions of pieces of information that come to us through our senses every instant of the day.

One of my favorite quotes:
"A lie is when you say something happened which didn't happen. But there is only ever one thing which happened at a particular time and a particular place. And there are an infinite number of things which didn't happen at that time and that place. And if I think about something which didn't happen I start thinking about all the other things which didn't happen. For example, this morning for breakfast I had Ready Brek and some hot raspberry milkshake. But if I say that I actually had Shreddies and a mug of tea I start thinking about Coco-Pops and lemonade and Porridge and Dr Pepper and how I wasn't eating my breakfast in Egypt and there wasn't a rhinoceros in the room and Father wasn't wearing a diving suit and so on and even writing this makes me feel shaky and scared, like I do when I'm standing on the top of a very tall building and there are thousands of houses and cars and people below me and my head is so full of all these things that I'm afraid that I'm going to forget to stand up straight and hang onto the rail and I'm going to fall over and be killed. This is another reason why I don't like proper novels, because they are lies about things which didn't happen and they make me feel shaky and scared. And this is why everything I have written here is true. "

CS Lewis said "the value of suffering does not lie in the pain of it...but in what the sufferer makes of it...It is in sorrow that we discover the things which really matter; in sorrow that we 

discover ourselves.

"His memory will live forever in a lot of hearts and over time; his home runs will get longer, his throwing arm will get better, his jokes will get funnier, and his cooking will become legendary"

new music.

My favorite band of the week is Future of Forestry.

The Future of Forestry is a poem by C. S. Lewis that this San Diego quartet cribbed its name from. "These innovators push the boundaries of comfort and creativity to craft tracks of liberating sonic exploration" 

One of my favorite lines from TRAVELER’S SONG:

“…if you travel here, listen to your heart. And take with you what lasts forever.”

My favorite songs: HILLS OF INDIGO BLUE & SLOW YOUR BREATH DOWN

Happy v-day.

For the love of all that is red.

Comida.

Tonight I got to go to my favorite Mexican restaurant ,
Salsa & Agave Mexican Grill

Authentic Mexican food is so hard to find in Vancouver but this 
small Yaletown gem is one of my favorites when it comes to 
Comida Mexicana. It's fresh and flavorful and reminds me of the 
Taquerías I would frequent in Mexico. The tacos features above 
are Rajas Con Crema (poblano peppers, sour cream, cheese & corn), 
Carnitas (Pork), Carne Asada (grilled beef), and El Pastor (pork in red spice sauce).YUM!

More than pearls.

A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman--who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls. Proverbs 31.

What's for dinner?

One of my favorite new meals is Zucchini Pasta. A dish that looks like fettuccine, but packs a healthier punch.
