Gender	Female
Industry	Tourism
Location	Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Introduction	I am the mother of two adult children - one is a beautiful, senstive young man addicted to heroin and the other is a very creative successful independent young woman. I am also the wife of an alcoholic. I have been struggling living in these conditions for years and I am consumed with figuring out how to find peace and not live with shame every day. My life is veiled in lies to hide my truths. I don't know exactly why, probably because I'm still protecting my addicted loved one and probably because I am afraid of judgement. I don't know where this blog will take me, but I hope to connect honestly with the world around me and find that peace I so desperately want.
Interests	I am "middle-aged" now and I find that a lot of what interests me right now is finding some peace, doing things and going places that expand my thinking and add value to my life. Sometimes that is just hanging out at home watching PVR, other days it is planning an adventure that I hope to take one day. Hopefully I will be able to add to my interests as I grow my blog...
Favorite Music	Blue Rodeo, Neil Young, Tragically Hip, Bob Dylan, and many, may more...
Favorite Books	She's come undone, Freedom, Say you're one of them, The Reader, White Oleander, I know this much is true, Midwives, The weight of water, A complicated kindness, In the realm of hungry ghosts
