Let me tell you Justine's story

Homes and Dreams

I haven’t had time to write lately, as my mother broke her foot and I’ve been helping her. My mind has been on a title for my novel. It’s about a girl in the 1940’s who realizes her father isn’t who she thinks he is. It’s reminiscent of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, a favourite… Read More Homes and Dreams

Positivity Attracts Positivity

The people who have already read my memoir, Not My Story To Tell know that many of my experiences raising a daughter who had mental health issues wasn’t easy or fun. It was scary and heartbreaking.

The twenty-four year old granddaughter… Read More My Readers Warm My Heart

Beautiful Lake Huron Sunsets

I shared some photos of the most beautiful sunsets in the world two weeks ago. You can see those here. I’m in Kincardine, while my mom’s broken heel mends. Since then we have had snow blizzards for several days. I’m happy to report the sunsets have returned.

Late April Snow Days

We are experiencing ANOTHER snow day in Canada. We do have a reputation for snow but this is mid-April and we usually have Spring-like weather, long before now. We have highway, school closures and power outages all across Southern Ontario. This will continue until Thursday. Luckily, I don’t have to be anywhere but warm and… Read More Late April Snow Days

Change for Mental Health is on the Horizon…FINALLY!

This is an extremely important article on how improvements can be made in treating people with mental health issues. I expressed my frustrations in my memoir, Not My Story To Tell about my daughter, Justine’s struggle with a broken system. Rethinking Therapy was in the Globe and Mail Newspaper today. It makes many valid points.

Lake Huron Sunsets

My mom broke her heel and I’m staying at her condo to help her. It’s gorgeous here and I’m treating it as a little vacation.
