Over a two year period, I blogged for the Canadian Running Magazine website through a bi-weekly feature sharing the journey of my goal to run 12 Races in 12 Months. The experience not only highlighted the challenges in setting this epic goal for myself, but running alongside my children became a poignant experience as I watched them grow into young adults before my eyes. Biography writing is a passion of mine, and I have been commissioned by Woodlawn Memorial Park to write a legacy story for the Remembrance Day Service starting in 2016 about the life of a local veteran. Pitching an idea to my editor, I developed and wrote a regular feature for the Guelph Mercury entitled “Fondly Remembered” starting in October 2014. The column provided an opportunity to honour Guelph/Wellington County residents, and share their life stories through the Guelph Mercury newspaper and online formats. This column was a natural extension of the two-year term of being a Community Editorial Board member with the Guelph Mercury, writing about a variety of topics. As a Hospice Wellington Board member for eight years, I had the experience of writing many news releases and articles for the organization. I continue writing legacy stories as well as travel features in my spare time between working as Director of HR for a municipal Corporation.
