Well, I’m a 60-something Canadian woman going through a post-midlife adjustment phase. I’ve had a lot of health issues related (and unrelated) to my “morbid obesity”. I’m losing weight but have to work really hard at it and I don’t like having to work hard at anything!
I am married to an amazing man, Norm, and we have two incredible daughters, Shauna and Leanne. I live in Langford, part of the Greater Victoria area. I am a Navy Brat and have travelled all over Canada and lived on both coasts and way up north, Inuvik.
I am a teacher at the Saanich Adult Education Centre where I am honoured to work with First Nations adults coming back to upgrade their education. I have been there for over 18 years now and can honestly say I believe I have learned more that I have ever taught.
I started my blog on the prompting of a person I met at a First Nations special education workshop and it is one of the best things I have done for myself in years.
If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear them. Thanks for listening. ;D
