My personal blog on Wordpress is a confusion of ideas, thoughts, interests, hobbies, news items and sometimes just silly rambling on (and on, and on..). It started out as a diary/journal, but evolved into Bible-study notebook, a reading list, photos of things I love, family stuff, personal experiences and any old thing I fear I might forget.

Married since 1988, stay-at-home mom of 3, graduated cum laude from Calvary University, degree in Counselling, registered Holistic Counsellor.

Interested in psychology, parapsychology, psychic phenomena, religion, sociology, pathology
Read novels by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Joe Hill, Jonathan Kellerman, Nelson De Mille, Robin Cooke, Henry Denker, Peter James, Isaac Asimov, Barbara Erskine, Robert Heinlein, Clive Barker, Tolkien, Shakespeare etc., etc.
Love horror movies (NOT slasher flicks, unless its Halloween!)
Fav actor is Harrison Ford (always and forever)
Fav movie is Amadeus (with the Lord of the Rings Trilogy at its heels)
Loves all music, especially classics by Wagner, Mozart, Verdi, Orff and Tschaikovsky. I'm also a HUGE fan of contemporary music....sounds from AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Corrs and (yes, you may giggle) Bette Middler and Gregorian chanting and millions more simply enthrall me...all music is wonderful...it is the rhythm of life.
Basically I'm just someone, living my life to the best of my abilities, enjoying each moment that God presents to me with passion and gratitude. Life is such a blessing, but we often forget that the hardships and c
