I am off to Algonquin Park this weekend, with my husband and oldest sister, to Ralph Bice Lake – named after an ancestor of ours.  He was one of the first conservationists of the park.  We will have bear spray in hand as well as a blow horn like the kind used at hockey games.  We will spin yarns around the fire and see who else shows up.  Have a great Labour Day weekend to All Canadians!

This heartfelt Happy Birthday goes out to my wonderful husband, Kevin, of 20 years.  He turns 50 on August 30th!  Thank you Kevin for your love and support!  Remember to celebrate those who you love and love you, don’t ever take them for granted.  Happy Birthday Dear!  Glad we are the same age again, phew, for three months.  Ha ha.  Have the best birthday yet, Babe! Love your Wife and Son xxoo

This goes out to all of the youth that feel they are invincible.  I feel for you and understand that it is normal to behave like that.  Our son, Justin, is back in Montreal  for University and was MUGGED last night at gunpoint – EIGHT men, TWO guns on him!  I have always told him to trust his gut and follow his instincts – luckily he did just that.  He was happy he had left his wallet and new cell behind.  ‘I told them take whatever you want but all I have is my ipod and they searched me.  They took my ipod and as they did I DID NOT LOOK THEM IN THE EYES.’  He’s alive today for that very reason.  THANK GOODNESS Justin’s okay; material possessions mean nothing compared to his safety.  LOVE YOU Bud.  Your Mom and Dad      Trust your gut!  Please be careful and always go out at night with a friend wherever you may live.  BTW, the thieves tag line was ‘hey, do you have any cigarettes’.

Have you ever been told by a person in authority that ‘you can’t do that’?  We all have our dreams.  Ever since I was a young child, I couldn’t get my hands on enough books on ghosts and hauntings and dreamed of being a writer, one day.  But I was told that I wasn’t smart enough, or wrote well enough.  If someone ever told me I’d be published in J.R. Colombo’s The Big Book of Canadian Hauntings and have published my own ebook, even two years ago, I would have told them, ‘you’re crazy’, and that I didn’t have the talent.  Follow your heart and chase your dreams!  Make it your own and don’t let anyone stop you!

I have not blogged for some time as I am heavy into research for my second book.  However, even I do find the time to read.  For those of you who are uncertain about the coming year into 2012, perhaps afraid of the Mayan or any other apocalyptic predictions, I urge you to buy and read the book entitled Wholeliness by Carmen Harra, Ph.D.  It is a dedication to read this book as it is long, but worthwhile for those who need reassurance that all will be okay.  Keep on Reading!
