My Auntie, Lonna Karen Kirkpatrick, was only a few years older than me but she and my uncle, her brother George, doted on me like the little sister they never had. Their eyes would light up whenever they saw me. With Lonna, as with George, I always felt very special, … [read]

Posted on July 18, 2022 by Dawn-Ann

In pursuing the genealogy of my grandfather, Peter Paul May, I have hit a dead end. There seem to be very few records of his life and I think this needs to be rectified. Because my “Papa Pete,” as I knew him, was a vibrant, dynamic individual in his day. … [read]

Developing intuition (and communication with animals?)

Posted on June 26, 2021 by Dawn-Ann

Update for 2021 so far…

Posted on March 21, 2021 by Dawn-Ann

It’s been so long since I wrote but I’m getting back into the swing of things! I’ve been in Calgary for awhile now but I’m getting homesick for Vancouver Island. Planning a trip there soon, in spite of “the covid.” (What a time THAT has been!) Rathtrevor Beach is calling … [read]

A blessing on your head, Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov…*

Posted on July 25, 2019 by Dawn-Ann

I had an interesting experience sitting in McDonalds with Tom the other morning. I was sending love to a large group of handicapped adults and their caretakers. I do this from time to time with all sorts of random people; I feel hopeful it may help them to receive a … [read]

Leash training fun and games…

So, in an effort to keep my cats healthy and happy I have been trying to leash train them so we can go out for walks. With mixed results. Little boy cat (the black one) loves to go out and has taken to the leash because he knows it means … [read]

Coming out as a contactee

Posted on May 3, 2019 by Dawn-Ann

Consciousness and love and patience…

Posted on May 2, 2019 by Dawn-Ann

“Vulnerability is having the courage to show up when you can’t control the outcome.” Brené Brown I notice I am so changed this visit over last. I am full of love and compassion, even to the dogs. I used to fear and despise dogs as messy, drooly, stupid creatures; now … [read]

Van Life #4 – Update & working remotely from the road

Posted on April 28, 2019 by Dawn-Ann

​I am in Calgary now. The cats are adjusting well and seem content. They’ve made a little cubbyhole for themselves under the bed for if they need to get away but often they’ll sit up top, checking out the scenery. I stop regularly to just sit with them for awhile, … [read]
