WELCOME TO THE R&R HOT STOVE
*Scroll down to see the newest Blog post
Hot Stove was initially a baseball term says Wikipedia. My husband tells me that in Canada the Hot Stove actually refers to the hot stoves in the “skate shacks” across Canada where kids would “fry” their wet mittens as they warmed up and wiped their runny noses between stints on the ice in the skate shacks beside the ice rinks that dotted our prairie towns! Who do you believe?? LOL! My friend Ross Meek- athlete, coach and former PE teacher would speak about his ‘team’ of colleagues adopting the term to describe their gathering together in ‘Hot Stove’ conversations early each Monday mornings after a weekend of watching NHL teams compete in Canada’s game.
Each MONDAY MORNING you will find a Hot Stove post here on our website. The focus will NOT normally be about hockey although the passion of two beautiful young hockey-playing boys named Radek and Ryder was certainly front and centre when the boys were alive and the hockey theme runs throughout the book. We plan to give the reader further insights into some back stories and delve into our objectives as writers of this powerful narrative. We will profile the incredible courage of a mother and her counselling therapist in the telling of a mother’s love story. We will also share the actions of those who have helped a grieving mother in the mending of her broken heart as she continues to work on finding a degree of meaning and mastery since the death of her two boys on December 19, 2016 in a brutal senseless act of filicide by their biological father.
Sometimes the topics will be passionately HOT like that of a burning stove aimed at stoking your courage to find your voice about things that matter in ending all violence against women and children in our society. May our words encourage you to speak from the rafters of every arena in concert with our aim to end such violence. Sometimes hopefully we will also bring a grin to your face as we share our connection on this road as client and therapist since 2017.
