A dark winter with a promising spring….
I haven’t updated on life or writing circumstances for a long time. I haven’t had a chance to catch my breath and sit down to compose a blog post to tell you about my life. The winter of 2012 and 2013 sucked all across the prairies. It was a Sinclair Ross winter. It was a […]
Summer’s here
I thought things would slow down, but that hasn’t been the case. I recently accepted a posting as a blogger for Green Hectares , so that’s a little more on my plate. In May, I did two trips to Saskatchewan. One was a visiting trip, just to hang out with my parents and dog. On […]
Busy like a….
Bee? I’m well on my way to becoming crazy bee lady. My aunt made me a set of nice placemats out of a bee printed fabric and I bought myself some bee-related art today. I guess becoming a bee lady is more palatable than becoming a cat lady, right? Anyway, I have been very, very […]

I was busy with my day job, but things are gearing up for April, which is National Poetry month. April […]
International Women’s Day
I wrote the following status on my facebook this morning. I’ll stop fighting for women’s rights when women receive equal pay. I’ll stop fighting against discrimination when women’s health care is given equal funding and emphasis. I’ll stop talking about women’s rights when I don’t have to read stories about domestic violence any more. I’ll […]
It really is the little things….
Last week, I received some very happy news. Here’s the back story- I occasionally read completed manuscripts before the writer submits them for publication. I offer my edits and suggestions and consult with the writer on how they can make their book better. It’s a good exercise for me as it teaches me how to […]
