A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.

In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com Namaste!

This is definitely one I would add in a publication [heck, even I liked it!] 🙂 We just had a snow storm of 35 to 75 cm in various parts of Southern Quebec…today was the first day I could walk on some sidewalks.
