I am a proud mom of three adult children. We were blessed to call Quadra Island our home for almost thirty years. The Quadra Childrens Centre was a big part of our lives while we lived on Quadra. All three of my kids attended this childcare centre.

I spent most of my childhood catching frogs and exploring the wild woods in Northern Ontario with friends, family, and my legged companions. Some of my first memories are of picking rose hips as a toddler and eating wild raspberries while my grandfather showed me the bear and wolf tracks beside me in the mud, that I hadn’t noticed.

I went to Long Beach before I was born. The waves washed over me while I was safely in my mother’s womb. I experienced the sand, sometimes warm and sometimes cold, the way the sun sank into the ocean colouring it with rich warm tones of molten light. I collected shells, studied crabs and other tide pool denizens.

As a child I was blessed with a mother who taught me to notice and celebrate the little things happening in nature around us all the time. I was also fortunate to live in many places across Canada, always in spots with lots of big wild spaces to spend hours exploring.

After spending 6-months hiking the 3,500km Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, I learned something that no book could teach me….nature is our ultimate teacher, and we are nature’s ultimate students!
