Introduction I try to be an educator and a peacemaker! With a husband and four (now grown) children, those skills are an absolute necessity. I was raised by an extended family of absolutely incredibly kind and loving people. I've had the blessing of residing in the US, Canada, France, Guadeloupe and Barbados at different times in my life, as well as working on every continent except Australia. My favourite cities are Paris, Venice, London and New York; my favourite countryside is found in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia and the Tarn River region of Midi-Pyrenees, France.
