I am a professional writer of sorts: I am an Accredited Business Communicator currently working for BCcampus. Please see my profile on LinkedIn for more about my professional cv.
I grew up on a farm in southwestern Saskatchewan. I am a former radio reporter who still wants to be a foreign correspondent and a great novelist. I have a cluttered apartment, but I hate it when the sink is dirty.
I want to be in better shape physically, emotionally and financially. I finished a marathon in 2009!
My life focus is my daughter still living with me and to be a more tolerant, affectionate person.
I sunburn easily, but I am solar powered and I love the sun. Kinda weird when you consider I’m through-and-through a west coast gal. I am not, however, a vegetarian.
I run to go inside myself and I climb to go outside myself. I will climb Devil’s Tower again, and this time I will lead my share of the pitches.
I love teaching powerpacing/spin/freewheel classes at the YMCA as a fitness volunteer.
Next year I’m finally getting that tattoo I’ve always wanted, and a motorcycle. When I turn 50 I want to run the Boston Marathon, jump out of an airplane and rappel out of a helicopter. When I turn 60 I’m going to start smoking a pipe and the occasional cigar.
I miss my older two children and my grandson, who still live in Saskatchewan.
I wonder if it’s too late to be an astrophysicist.
Sometimes I think would prefer to live in Vancouver. Or in a cabin in the woods somewhere. Or on a beach in the South Pacific. Or I could just stay in Cook Street Village forever; most of the time I’m pretty much happy wherever I am.
I think too much.
I believe that character is the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life – and is the source from which self-respect springs.
I am fortunate to have many friends, but I would like to have more really good friends. As in: a friend will help you move: a good friend will help you move a body.
I want to find someone with whom I can spend the rest of my life, but I’m not focused on it. I’ve given up on dating, I’m going to have to find a really good friend to marry. It’s like looking at the stars; sometimes you can only see them when your attention is elsewhere in the sky.
