I love my pet finches, Darwin and Daryn. I rescued and raised them when they were babies. They were nearly dead when I found them. The only reason I knew they were alive was because I saw their feet twitch ever so slightly. These two birds have b…
I try to live by Philipians 4:8 in the bible, which reads:
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about…
I wish I were had the natural salesman ability, and that I were better at socialising and networking. I would love to have more emotional strength, and backbone, as Amy C. put it. I have tons of strengths and talents, and I know how to work hard. I…
You were so fortunate to be able to be with Tripod during the course of his illness, and especially during his final moments. I wasn't so fortunate with my two favourite pets, as they both met unfortunate ends. The first finch I ever raised, Runt, w…
If I didn't know better, I'd say it looks like the Colonel is singing along while you're playing piano. I'm sure she'll enjoy her new found freedom,and I don't know if birds have emotions, but I'm sure she'll miss you guys as well. Thanks for sharin…
I am originally from Canada and have resided in South Bend, Indiana (think Notre Dame football!) for just over three years. I live here because I married an American. We actually met online in a non-romance related Yahoo group. I worked as a substitute teacher for two years in the South Bend school district. I am currently trying to find a career-viable job where I will be able to utilize skills in the areas of writing and speaking. I majored in biology and minored in english at the University of Northern British Columbia. On the side, I teach piano lessons, tutor, and play background piano music for formal events. My husband and I are major animal lovers and have had many very cool wildlife experiences.
What City, State and/or Country are you from?
Prince George, British Columbia, Canada
Me with our grey kitty, "Noodles," who was unfortunately killed by a dog.
Thanks Sophia for your encouragement. I really appreciate that you enjoyed this post. I have been writing from my heart lately and it really connects with people.
BTW, I totally agree on the Health care issue. It doesn't take much to wipe folks out with a major illness. I do volunteer work for a the Ohio Pug Rescue. I'm not home enough to foster one but I do transport and screening and lately, removal of Pugs from people who have to give them up for financial reasons. The last one they were going bankrupt due to the husband getting cancer.
I forgot, how are you adjusting to life outside of the Dominion? Our messed up electoral system probably made you gasp at the waste of resources we pour into it.
I used to date a woman from Toronto and I couldn't get her to move to the USA unless I moved to NYC and couldn't afford a move to NYC. If I moved to Canada I could not work for 2 years. So Kudos to your Husband.
Thank you Sophia. I am grateful that the Lord is my covering, especially when I really mess up and He makes sure to cover me, when I need to be protected from situations and circumstances.
Thanks again and you can read my weekly posts at http://faithwithheels.blogspot.com. I give away shoes. (Faith Heels).
Erin, 2009 made me grow up. I had to seek me last year and then correct some of the things. But I know that I took a step forward even though life tried to keep me back.
I am not MAD at 2009!
Every year ends in a mixture of emotions for those reflecting upon it. 2009 seems to be one of those years. I have heard people emphatically say “goodbye to 2009”. The year has brought to some great joy and to other great pain…
