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]

Posted on June 26, 2021 by Dawn-Ann

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]

Coming out as a contactee

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]

Posted on April 28, 2019 by Dawn-Ann
