When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? I grew up near Lake Ontario and my grandparents had a pool, so I was taught to swim and love water at an early age. I thought it would be magnificent to be in the Olympics and I remember having myContinue reading “An Olympic swimmer”

Kindness does not equal weakness
What’s something most people don’t understand? Being kind is not being weak. Share a smile, say good morning to a stranger in the grocery aisle, say thank you to your cashier, take time to visit with your barista before you snatch your coffee, hurry off as if you are the only one with a busyContinue reading “Kindness does not equal weakness”

Peacebroker
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? Deep down I despise conflict of any kind. Honestly and truly…it hurts to the depths of my soul. I would love to travel to the ends of the earth brokering peace in the midst of selfish tug of war, arguments, full scale battles.
