My background is in Adult Education, which has given me an appreciation of Lifelong Learning. Now that I am semi-retired, I am aiming to learn all I can with the goal to becoming a successful author.

I began writing a blog about 15 years ago, on topics ranging from family history to accounts of my learning, and travel journals.

Every morning (well almost, sometimes a sleep in takes precedence) I take a walk by the picturesque Lake Mulwala and remember how blessed I am to live in such a wonderful place.

Most of my best writing happens in the quiet hours of the early morning before my walk.
