Family. Two daughters, Jasmine and Fiona and now a son too. Jasmine (b. 1998): full of wisdom and attitude, incredibly creative and thoughtful. Fiona (b. 2009): sweet, happy and full of life, she is very funny, energetic, spirited and loves to learn and question. Devlin (b. 2016): joyful, squishy and so much fun.

Travel. LOVE travel. We have been a bit home-bound lately but I am always itching to go explore, so lately the explorations have been mostly in Nova Scotia, like whale-watching near Digby. Nova Scotia is truly magnificent, so many unexpected bends in the road. In the past few years I went to the Netherlands, Baltimore, Spain, New York, Poland, Vienna, Florida, New England, New Orleans. I'm originally from Winnipeg so we go back every few years. A lifetime ago I spent a year in Ireland working on organic farms.
