Autobiography

Hello! A little about me: I live in a small rural community on the Salish Sea and I have 2 young adult sons who have grown up way too fast! As they get older and move on, I find myself wishing I had a dog and dream of getting a puppy. I love living in rural communities and I love to garden and be outdoors. I am currently working full time as a social worker and I am a student as well. I plan on obtaining my Provincial Instructor's Diploma over the next few years and then moving into work that is instructor/training based.
I love to learn new things and I love to see new places. I value my friends and family and I am lucky enough to have a large family who inspire me in many different ways.
Right now I am reading books on stretching and yoga because I pulled a ligament over Christmas and am still experiencing limitations. I am slowly realizing that as I get older, I have to invest more time and effort into my health. Acceptance of that fact has been a major theme in my life.
