The day I started writing was the day my healing began. I had no idea how powerful it would be to write about my parents' sad beginnings and then onto my life growing up in the '60s, '70s and '80s. I was always searching for Mr. Right, and I finally figured out how to manage without a knight in shiny armour. I am married to my second husband after a failed first marriage, with three adult children. I work with special needs people of all ages, and I started teaching fitness back when leg warmers and curly perms were the trends. I still teach fitness after all these years. My hobbies include cycling all over British Columbia, public speaking about mental health and addiction and writing blogs about anything and everything nostalgic. I am always available to answer questions and speak at book clubs.
