I live in British Columbia,the most beautiful province in Canada. I've been writing since I was six years old. My first work of literary art was about my cat who'd given birth to stillborn kittens. It made the rounds of the teachers lounge at my elementary
+ more bio informationWhere was God on 9/11? He was the bystander who pulled someone out of the way to safety when the clouds of debris and dust roared down the streets. He was the one of the firemen carrying the body of the priest that we saw in those terrible pictures. He was a tireless volunteer who set up food and water stations. He was a doc...
I watched about 10 minutes of The Secret and realized they weren't telling me what I already didn't know. If you think positive, you'll be positive and attract positive people. I had had a history of negative thinking. Nothing ever went my way, or so it seemed. One day in 2002 I woke up sick and tired of feeling down all the...
You told me not to fall in love with you Not really good at doing what I'm told Lately I've been feeling restless And things with us are growing old There doesn't seem to be much spark left I'm thinking that I should move on But darlin' I can't help but wonder If you'll miss me when I'm gone If you don't love me, will you mi...
Anyone with a child who has a peanut allergy knows two things. First, We can't control what goes into their mouths when they leave our home and go off to school, daycare, or a friend's place for a sleepover or playdate. And secondly, they're kids. With child sized brains that don't always consider whether that yummy loo...
I used to long to be in love;to have that partner for life, that long time companion. I used to think I knew what I wanted. Ever since I had my daughter I know now that all my efforts at being in love have been amateurish, sophomoric at best. My daughter has taught me some vital lessons in love. She's taught me to have patie...
I was six years old darn it.. WHEN was I ever going to get the respect and admiration a child my age deserved? I wasn't going to take it anymore by golly. I packed a pillowcase of my stuff. (Being the middle child of seven that wasn't much.) I strode to the front door and loudly, tearfully informed my mother and all who woul...
A Part of You I've known one thing growing up It's that my life's been shaped by you You're behind everything I am And everything I hope to do I hope that with all I've done I've made you proud of who I am Because who I am Is a part of you Although the mountains may have seemed too high I watched you conquer every one When I...
The other day someone asked me where in the world I'd rather go If I could pack it up and move anywhere I didn't even hesitate when I turned to them and said I wouldn't have to because I'm already there. When others having a bad day close their eyes and try to see That "special place" that takes them out of their despair The...

He was wearing a toque and his hair wasn't tied back like it usually is. He was wearing an old tank top with sweat stains on it. covered by a f...
was the recipient of a Christmas Hamper last night. I knew it was coming, my property manager asked if I'd mind if she put my name in and being laid off work and really struggling to get by I was not one to turn down a helping hand. She said.. Hamper.. so you would ASSUME that it would be that.. a nice basket filled with a f...
