Working
I am on sick leave from my full-time, demanding but very rewarding job. I worked for Nav Canada as a Flight Service Specialist. Now I am working on getting healthier, and keeping the farm going!
Raising Alpacas
We now have 11 alpacas, including a new rescued girl, Bella. So the overall count is 3 females and 8 males. Part of raising alpacas is making hay, maintaining our barn and other buildings, and all the other wonderful, rewarding work that goes with raising livestock.
Spinning
I have taken up spinning as a hobby, since we raise alpacas and I have a continuous supply of fibre! They can grow it faster than I can spin it. I am really enjoying learning to spin and I’m just practicing and gradually getting better. I am now selling fleeces because I have so many!
Singing
I love to sing, and I am one of the organizers of my local Threshold Choir, singing for people who are nearing the threshold of life & death. We create beautiful harmonies in simple songs which bring peace and comfort to those we sing for.
Writing
I’m always writing — adding to the wisdom in the series of Tiny Books on Big Ideas, or blogging. I have 4 websites!

Marketing and Selling Books
I’m marketing all my self-published works, which you can find out more about here, or go visit my store here. My latest book is Forging Sisterhood in the Frozen North, and it’s all about the Baffin 2019 Expedition. I’m currently working on creating a hardcover edition as well as a large print version of the book. View Photo Gallery
Living Simply
I am doing what I can to simply my life, not take on too many projects and keep my commitments to others to a minimum. I am working on decluttering whenever I can. I believe in anti-materialism. I enjoy helping others in big, life-changing ways.
