Too busy being poly to write about it?!?!
My apologies for the summer of silence on this blog. It has been a very busy summer and lots of stretches to my personal poly-ness.
Hmm....where to start.
June to mid July was spent pulling together programming and resources for PolyFamilyCampBC, held at Gordon Bay Provincial Park on Lake Cowichan,…

Family of Choice
Every relationship has its rough spots and truly all relationships require conscious effort to be happy and successful. Polyamourous relationships have more people to alert us to issues that might otherwise be avoided or back burnered in busy lives. The Polyamourous Misanthrope, a very wise long tim…
Theory vs Practice
There are as many variations to poly relationships as there are stars in the sky. That is as it should be given the diversity in humans. The problem comes when we decide that our variation is better than someone else's. It might well be better for us but not so much the others in our life. From bi…
Round peg; Square hole
Some days I tire of the monogamist norm being the default in all things. Facebook would not let me add my one partner's name as a middle name even when placed before my surname and hyphenated. Add my partners surname behind mine with a hyphen and we are a go. My son decided to use our hyphenated …
Replenishing love and finding family of choice
Life's been a whirlwind for Polly Amorie this past month. I have some newsy bits for you and some observations to share as well.
First the newsy bits:
Canadian Polyamory Advocacy Association (www.polyadvocacy.ca) is looking at projects and advocacy opportunities with the legal stuff now taking a backs…

Invisibility or misinformation - which is worse?
The response to the long awaited decision on the BC Supreme reference case concerning the Canadian Polygamy Law was a bit of a disappointment. The general media heaved a collective sigh of relief that status quo would be maintained and them thar Mormons would now be dealt with "properly". Our elec…
So...are you guys going to have to split up now?
I've been asked this a lot in the past few days.
Short answer - No. Our relationship is actually legal under this decision.
Chief Justice Bauman's decision managed to give everyone something, nobody everything and rallied the troops from the sideline groups that stood by and said it had no impact …

On the precipice of history
On Wednesday of this week coming (November 23rd), Chief Justice Robert Bauman will release his decision with regards to the BC Supreme Court reference case on section 293 of the Criminal Code of Canada (known as the Polygamy Law). Both the legal counsel involved in the case and the media will be in…
In appreciation for the freedom to question and seek social change
Today is Remembrance Day in Canada and it is appropriate to make some comment in one's status on various social networking places and in one's blog about it. I was looking for quotes, music and so on to make for more creativity. I googled through quotes about soldiers, remembrance day, and heroes.…

Poly on Tour - Final days
Poly on Tour - and back again
Day 7 - After an excellent home cooked breakfast , we departed with a teary DC and a quick tourist shop pit stop where we fondled coyote and skunk pelts and marvelled at native art and jewelry. I think my credit card began to melt there. We snagged some Ontario cheese curds for D there and he was…
Poly on Tour - In search of poly and parrots
Day 6 - We dropped in at the after wedding brunch and said our goodbyes. Then we sped to Kingston to meet with an online friend and her poly group. We were delayed by traffic and family goodbyes but arrived in time to have a good visit with the Kingston group. Very nice people and lots of good mo…
Poly on Tour - The Ottawa Days
I apologize for the delay in posting as my iphone app ate my postings but told me that I'd published. On the plus side, I can include photos in the repost.
Day 3 - We began with a scenic tour of South Eastern Ontario on route to Ottawa. We stopped in Brighton at Dougalls by the Bay which is a lo…

Poly on Tour - Roots
Day 2 of our tour. We collected our rental car and toured Dear Polly Amorie's childhood neighbourhood. Mississauga, Ontario has changed a lot since I was last there in 1999 but there were still some old familiar places and they have the same Mayor Hazel! She really hasn't aged much and still gov…
Poly on Tour - Victoria to Toronto
Dear Polly Amorie is on the road this week. First leg of the trip was a very comfortable and uneventful flight with Westjet. The staff was friendly and the flight was smooth. I had an aisle seat and entertained myself with my latest Diana Gabaldon novel, The Fiery Cross. DC had her ereader and m…
Poly on Tour - on the brink of the journey
Come on out and meet Dear Polly Amorie and the loves of her life in person.
The move to new directions begins with a trip to Southern Ontario. I have lived in British Columbia for just over 12 years now and am originally f…
Digging Deeper
This past month has been exhausting. Several co-workers are away and covering their workload has been stressful in both volume and in the rather steep learning curve required to bumble my way around someone else's area of expertise. I came back from a week off for poly camping to a mountain that …
