ItGirls – The Collective Musings of Cat

Strange Bird

August 31, 2017August 31, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

While enjoying the outdoor concert, the attention of one individual was stolen by a noise away from the stage. Curiosity over came her as she wandered the venue seeking the source of the wailing. Finding nothing she made her way back towards the concert only to stumble upon a strange bird perched upon a stump. She wondered if this was the source of the noise, but shook her head slowly attempting to push the thought from her mind; for there was no way the wood carving could speak… yet the strange bird seemed to have a twinkle in its’ eye as if it could read her thoughts.

Always Forever

August 31, 2017August 31, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

Two little words that when alone hold power in their own right, but when put together a new meaning is formed and with it a stronger bond. Always and forever, often spoken during special occasion to that one person who has captured our very soul. Words that alone have meaning, but when put together take on an entirely different life force. Always forever, we say to someone giving them our deepest bond.

At Worlds End

August 31, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

When the time comes for nature to reclaim the land, what will your story be. Will it be one of great accomplishments or will it be one filled with regrets and sorrow? Will your story be told by others or will it be forgotten like a whisper told to the wind? Will you be the one to live on at the worlds end, or will you become a distant memory? We decide the direction will take and how our lives will be seen at the end of our time. For some they make the most of their lives, while others take each day as they come never knowing and never expecting. At worlds end though, we find ourselves re-evaluating, questioning, and wishing we had done more.

Shady Side of Town

August 21, 2017August 21, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

When we least expect it, life takes a turn and we find ourselves in the shady side of town. Whether it is on purpose or purely by chance, once we find ourselves here we never really understand the meaning behind such a mishap. Perhaps it is to find ourselves once more or to gain the answers we were seeking to the questions we hind within. For whatever reason you find yourself on the shady side of town, take a moment to reflect and see if there answers where one would not expect them.

Comfort in a Good Book

July 31, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

Hello my old trusty friend! New favourites and old favourites, young and old, within your pages are stores untold. Comfort is sought within each word, line, paragraph, and page. Diving deeper down the rabbit hole of curiosity as laughter and tears escape often unknowingly. Comfort is found within the confines of a heavy cover and a few soft spoken words of a believed character. Comfort in a good book that makes you wonder if the author penned it just for you.

By Candle Light

The path was laid before her, plans set in motion before she understood fully what was happening. She nodded her understanding hearing their conversation as it took place. Slowly she slipped in and out of understanding as she went through the motions. Looking around her, she was unfamiliar with the location and knew she had lost control of the situation as she moved forward, devoid of expectations. Yet she followed the path by candle light, unaware of what awaited.

Villa Getaway!

July 7, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

Every so often the best thing in the entire world is a mini vacation, even if it is in the middle of the work week and only lasts a few days. I needed that very little mini vacation recently after a long few days at work. The small villa was the perfect location. Surrounded by the perfect amount of trees and water just a few steps away. Before I knew it, I was soon lost within the pages of a good book, while dinner cooked slowly on the stove, filling the air with a sweet aroma.

Found Junk

June 30, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

One of my favourite things to do is imagine what the purpose was of the found junk I come across while out for my daily walk. Today, I came across a curious object and wondered if he once was the iron giant I had heard stories off. I watched the strikingly blue butterflies gather around and could not help but smile. I had found someones discarded junk and the butterflies had found a home. I recalled how the iron giant had been saved by the young boy and thought of how the butterflies had saved this found junk and made it beautiful once more.

The Sound of Gulls

June 30, 2017June 30, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

Many find my fascinations rather odd, and I have quite a few fascinations. The one most people find strange is my love for sea gulls. There is this calming sensation I feel when I hear the sea gull sing. I don’t know what it is, but it calls to me; it makes me stop and smile. Ironically, I did not grow up near the ocean or large lakes, and now I live beside a smaller lake as an adult. I have always been fascinated by the sea gull. Perhaps in a past life I lived near water where sea gulls could be found and meant something great, rather then the beach pest everyone calls them to. I honestly do not mind the sea gulls and will find it lonely when I do not find them where I expect them to.

Something Magical

June 27, 2017June 27, 2017Catherine InakaLeave a comment

We spend a great deal of our lives waiting for something to happen. We spend our days longing for it, begging for it, and wishing for it. Often we do not know what it is we are seeking… whether it is someone or something. Before we know it, something magical happens, and we find ourselves faced with what had sought so hard to find. A life partner, a new job, our purpose in life, forgiveness, acceptance, the list is never ending. Each of us await our something magical.
