About Me

SOME RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME:
- I was born in a small town in Alberta, Canada in 1957.
- I have an academic background in biology and psychology. I once took a class where we dissected brains. Sheep brains, that is; human ones we only looked at.
- I made a brief foray into academic philosophy; found it too patriarchal and not relevant to the life I have to live.
- I’ve given birth to two children.
- I can fly a Cessna 150.
- I am learning to ride a horse.
- In 1998 I spent a week in Paris and fell in love with it.
- In 2008 I spent a week in Cotacachi, Ecuador and fell in love again.
A FEW THINGS I LOVE:
- Hot sun, warm rain, clouds, shooting stars
- Dogs, cats, horses
- Christmas trees, pussy willows, roses (dandelions too)
- Bookstores, libraries, art galleries, theatre
- Ice cream, chocolate, red wine
- Paris… and all the places I still want to visit… Rome, Instanbul, Greece, Africa, Nepal, Macchu Picchu, Egypt…the whole world
THANK YOU
I am grateful that I crossed paths with the following people and immensely grateful for their encouragement.
Elisabeth Michielsen for gently teaching me to “always listen to your body”.
Barbara Sher whose advice is still written in my daytimer:
“If you do what you enjoy, you’re creating a pattern that you can’t see yet. But over and over you’ll find you’re perfectly trained to do something you never deliberately trained for. One day it will all look like a careful program of study, a directed plan of research.”
Alan Lightman author, physicist and writing instructor for taking time out of his busy schedule to reply with a letter of encouragement to a wannabe writer.
Di Brandt, the Canadian poet who showed me, with her brave example, that it is possible for a woman to transcend five centuries of thinking in a single lifetime.
Sandi Harpham for teaching me that wanting to be happy was not an unrealistic expectation.
Charley Edwards, who held my hand, supported my wildest dreams, loved me and taught me how to believe. A lifetime is not long enough to thank you.
