  🔹 "Sometimes the best man for the job is a WOMAN, and there is no such word as CAN'T." – Beryl Amy Patterson (My Mother) 
  🔹 Raised by a fiercely strong woman who lived and loved boldly before cancer took her too soon, I grew up knowing that obstacles are just challenges waiting to be conquered. As the eldest of four girls, I learned resilience, creativity, and the power of self-expression. 
  🔹 My artistic journey has taken me through pottery, painting, poetry, photography, sculpting, and beyond—because when words aren't enough, art speaks. And when cancer came knocking in 2013, I answered not with fear but with fierce determination. 
  🔹 Diagnosed with stage three breast cancer on Valentine's Day, I refused to let it define me. Instead, I transformed pain into poetry, illness into inspiration, and fear into fierce creativity.

  The Ward - The Life and Loss of...

  The story of the growth and destruction of Toronto's first 'priority neighbourhood.'
     
  From the 1840s until the Second World War, waves of newcomers who migrated to Toronto – Irish, Jewish, Italian, African American and Chinese, among others – landed in 'The Ward.' Crammed with rundown housing and immigrant-owned businesses, this area, bordered by College and Queen, University and Yonge streets, was home to bootleggers, Chinese bachelors, workers from the nearby Eaton';s garment factories and hard-working peddlers. But the City considered it a slum, and bulldozed the area in the late 1950s to make way for a new civic square.
     
  The Ward finally tells the diverse stories of this extraordinary and resilient neighbourhood through archival photos and contributions from a wide array of voices, including historians, politicians, architects, story-tellers, journalists and descendants of Ward residents. Their perspectives on playgrounds, tuberculosis, sex workers, newsies and even bathing bring The Ward to life and, in the process, raise important questions about how contemporary cities handle immigration, poverty and the geography of difference.
     
  ‘The Ward shines a light on one of Toronto's most historically significant and most forgotten neighbourhoods. Instead of a straight history, the book's editors opted to present the Ward through multiple short essays, each with its own unique point of view. The result is a fascinating and varied look at an area that once concurrently defined the city and acted as its biggest shame. As a result of the Ward's eventual razing, there are few artifacts left to teach newer generations about this important part of Toronto's history. This book helps correct that.’

  In the Catskills - Selections...

  John Burroughs

  In the Catskills gathers eight of John Burroughs's finest nature essays, first published by Houghton Mifflin in 1910 with photographic illustrations by Clifton Johnson. Burroughs — nicknamed "John o' Birds" for his devotion to birdlife and often credited with creating the modern nature essay — grew up on a farm in New York's Catskill Mountains, and this collection returns again and again to that landscape: snow-covered forests, hemlock groves, trout streams, and the peak of Slide Mountain. Listeners follow him snowshoeing after a red fox, tracing the rhythms of farm life through the seasons, searching out birds' nests each spring, and camping on a bed of hemlock boughs deep in the southern Catskills. Written in Burroughs's plain, observant prose, these essays helped define American nature writing and reflect the same careful attention to the natural world that made him a friend and correspondent of Walt Whitman, John Muir, and Theodore Roosevelt. A public-domain classic, this audiobook brings Burroughs's affectionate portrait of the Catskill wilderness to a new generation of listeners.
