Feeling Complete
Last year I wrote about discovering through DNA testing that I am a descendant of enslaved Canadians and Americans. All my life, I’ve felt like something was different. Inside, I felt like I didn’t match what others saw when they look at me. I couldn’t explain this feeling to myself. I felt so disconnected. After… Continue reading

Little Time, Lots to Do
I really don’t have much leisure time. My days are filled with training Bobby, my service dog in training. I like to unwind as we all do. I turn to indicate colouring books and my gel pens. I love working on miniatures. I am currently, albeit slowly, working on a 1:60 scale Orthodox Church from… Continue reading
