As I approach half a century

As I approach half a century on this magical globe rocketing through the universe I must say, it’s been quite a ride. And I am so grateful.

I always loved to write, and I have been blessed to publish a book, post a weekly blog, and work as a copywriter and communications specialist.

I always knew I wanted to be a mom and I have been gifted with three wonderful children who challenge me, inspire me, teach me, and love me. A gift that can’t be bought.

I always enjoyed travelling and I have been lucky to visit countries like Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Greece, Portugal and many parts of the United States and Canada. My passport is a prized possession because it allows me to fly, literally and figuratively.

I always adored reading and I have travelled to many places and eras through the pages of countless books. This recently led me to join an outstanding group of local women in a book club that has brought me laughs, learning and lifelong friendships. Continue reading

The World Cup

I don’t usually watch sporting events in bars.  Or change my schedule to catch a game.  But there is something about the World Cup.  The idea that the country you live in or the country of your roots is vying to win a World title in a game that is played around the globe by every age group.  A game that only needs a ball, a net and some grit.

February 1, 1587

On February 1, 1587 Queen Elizabeth I signed a death warrant for her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots.  Rumour had it that Mary had a plan in the works to have Elizabeth killed.  So treason was the reason for the charge.

There have been some pretty scary leadership stories on the books since the human race got into politics back in the day.  Continue reading
