Two words. My husband.

The most famous person I’ve ever met.
It was 1989, I was 19, and working as a night audit and front desk in a hotel, located in Mississauga, Ontario.
I was at the front desk one evening when Meat Loaf, the band came into the hotel. I was amazed that they were there! Meat Loaf, an iconic band who sang the incredibly famous song, Bat outta Hell. I couldn’t wait to tell my friends who I met!
All of a sudden the drummer, John Miceli, asked me if I wanted to go on a date. Oh my, seriously I thought. I jokingly said yes and gave him my address and phone number, thinking, ya right, he’s never gonna call someone like me. Wouldn’t you know he actually called and asked me out for dinner! I said, NO! I told him my boyfriend wouldn’t appreciate me going to dinner with another man. Was I nuts or just a totally dedicated girlfriend. Little of both I guess. Scared and nervous as well. I guess not that scared or I wouldn’t have given him my address and phone number.
Christmas came along and I actually got a Christmas card from him. I wish I had it today. 1989 was a long time ago and I’ve moved so many times since then and probably got lost in one of those moves. I will always remember that day though and feel very honored to have been asked out by such a famous person.
The card may have been lost but the memory and moment will never be. I hold it in my heart dearly. I also love telling the story of someone so famous and iconic asking little ol me out on a date!
Cheers, Bat outta Hell. Forever love Meat Loaf.
What’s good about having a pet?
What is good about having a pet?
There are so many good, great, things about owning and raising a pet. I’m a dog person, not that I don’t love all animals, but I just prefer dogs. So, let’s go on shall we?
It’s taken a long time for humans to see and understand animals and their emotional attachment and support they provide for us.
I’ve written about my emotional support/sobriety dog, Molly, who was with me for the first 10 years of my recovery journey. What an impact she made on me and our family. Molly read my emotions before I could. She filled that void, listened, and supported me when I was at my lowest and highest.
I’ve also written about my childhood dog, Bonnie, and have written a book about it (not published…yet) here in my Chapter book on this site 😀! Bonnie, also made an impact on my life at an early age. She was my protector and guardian.
No matter what type of animal you have, the pure connection you feel when you have a pet, is not only great for your emotional well-being but also has many health benefits.
Pets are a great addition to any family as long as they are well cared for. Any pet requires a lot of time and attention. They have feelings just like us 😊 so, remember to be kind.
Their life may not be as long as ours but when they are here with us, it is worth every tear when their time has come. They leave behind such love and memories.
Dedicated to all the pets out there ❤️

Time?
We all need more time. Time for healing, time for family, time for yourself, time, time, time.
One thing you can’t do with time is go back. Unless it’s one hour every fall for some in the world. We can’t go back in time to change things that have happened. If only. If I could go back in time I could change so many things, but that isn’t what we are here for. We are here to change, teach and learn. We all wish we had more time for things that mean a lot to us. Life happens and we carry on until we look back and say, I wish I had more time.
The most important time is time spent on yourself. To improve, to love and to flourish. Time put into your health, physically and mentally. Time spent with the people you love.
Time doesn’t wait, so whatever you need time for, take it. Take the time you need.
Princess Diana
The death of Princess Diana was a devastating event for so many. Her poor boys. The car crash that took her from the world. Took her and everything she did for so many around the world. She was compassionate and full of hope and love. Her dedication to the family, even though she was so lost. She had found happiness and in a second was taken out. After her death to see Prince Charles with the love of his life. Rumors were true that Charles and Camilla were lovers. Tragedy for so many around the world.
Forever missed and loved Princess Diana.
Something everyone should know
That is a hard question. I googled the phrase and this is what I found, life skills, and self care, blah blah blah. What should we know? We should know right from wrong. We should know politeness and respect. Respect is very lacking in this world today as well as authority. We should know race means just a different colour or religion. Not hatred. We should know alcohol and drugs is a mental illness not something people want to continue to do. Some of us just can’t get out, but we really want to. We should know kindness. We should know that sometimes peoples reactions to you on a certain day may have nothing to do with you but something happening in their life at the moment. So ask if they are okay, or is something wrong, or just smile and walk away and say a prayer for them.
People are people and some things we know they don’t. Some things are harder for people than others.
No matter what, everyone should know to respect, be kind and live with integrity, compassion and dignity. Help one another and live a life of love.
A kid at heart
What does it mean to be a kid at heart?
Being a kid at heart, yup, I’m one of them!
Having fun, not taking things so seriously, living spontaneously. Loving with a full heart.
My 3 Genie wishes
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?
My 1st wish would be, one that I always pray for is winning the lottery so, we could give our kids a home to raise their families in. My children have surpassed my age when I became a homeowner. It’s so difficult for young people to own their own home.
My 2nd wish would be to take away all the drugs, hard drugs that are killing our youth.
My 3rd wish would be for my other 2 wishes to come true.
Describe a family member.
She has blond hair and brown eyes that are so sweet and angelic. She loves being with the family but so enjoys her little friends when they visit. She is an early riser and goes to bed with ease. Swimming is her favorite activity topped with going for long walks on the beach. She will often enjoy just relaxing in the sun and watching people walk by, or birds flying overhead. She is the best friend anyone can have, she is Gracie, my golden Retriever.
