I am a wife, a mom, a friend, a coach, an educator.... I live in Victoria BC, having the privilege of working at St Michaels University School for the past 5 years.
My core values include family, hope, faith and community. I have 3 amazing children and one son-in-law, that continue to amaze me and bring me much joy as they grow into adulthood. My husband, Paul, has been my partner for 28 years, and we have seen and experienced much together. Currently Paul takes great care of me, cooking meals, keeping house, and providing evening entertainment ( just wanted to see if you were reading closely :-)
Community is wherever we find ourselves, often connected to more than one. Our 'communities' span this country and beyond. We have learned never to take community for granted, and always to be grateful for those amazing people around us!
Faith has carried me to and through many places, situations and relationships. Trusting God has brought us together and to Victoria. This journey is one of 'unseen' proportions. Thankfulness and prayer build the bridge to the next steps. Faith, community and prayer all rolled together can bring so much good.
Hope is what my life has been about - looking for the positive, glass half full, at times nauseatingly so, from others' perspectives. If we can't hope, how do we go on? Hope is also a key part of this journey - our thoughts and talk is based in the good and the learning that will come from this journey and the joy we will experience when we emerge from the other end.
