I care about my children’s feelings. I want them to feel respected and appreciated. I want them to know that they are valuable and that they are more important to me than anything else. My family comes first in my life. They are a gift from God and I cherish every second with them. I…
My sons’ dentist office is across the highway from our old house. I couldn’t help it. I had to look. I drove by, real slow, trying to get a glimpse over picket fence and back alley of what had become of the blood sweat and tears of my garden. What had become of the beautiful…
by Janis Cox In Haliburton where we live, there is a wolf centre located in the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve. When we visited there a couple of years ago, I learned much about wolves; their pack nature; pecking order; how strength dominates every facet of their existence. This made me think about humans and…
