About Me
Hi everyone! For those of you who don’t know me, I grew up on a small, mixed farm in central Alberta. There’s no question that my upbringing has influenced who I am as a person, but I’ve also grown a lot. I think it’s important to be honest and kind with yourself and others, to spend time thinking about things in your life so that you can learn from your mistakes and not let them keep haunting you. To help with that, I have actually written a book Love Your Skeletons. It’s about overcoming those mistakes and painful events that can linger into the present and prevent you from being as happy and fulfilled as you are meant to be! It’s available as
- a paperback (lulu.com)
- an ebook (pdf) (lulu.com)
- from amazon.com paperback
- from amazon.co.uk paperback
- SOON! It will be available as an audio book as well.
I’m a bit of a renaissance woman — I do everything from write, edit, knit, canoe and kayak, and work as a volunteer fire fighter.
I hope you enjoy my blog! Leave comments when the mood strikes ya!
Where I’m at These Days
Just thought I would share a nice graphic of where I live! It’s pretty far north, so it’s best to show on a globe.
I split my time between High Level and Fort Simpson, having all kinds of great northern adventures!

Hi Teresa – I just stumbled across your blog while searching for info on Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s book, My Stroke of Insight. What an amazing book, and an amazing author! You have a very natural ease in your writing style that’s inviting and engaging, so I’m betting your book will be very readable, and hope many people get to read it. I live in Boston these days, and visited your neck of the woods (Lake Louise and Banff) with my Boy Scout troop way back in 1967! I remember thinking that was the most beautiful place I’d ever seen and promised myself I’d return there someday, but have yet to make that happen. Thanks for posting your thoughts here. I’ll come back to visit your writing as time allows. Best wishes, and have a great life!
Thank you for sharing Teresa. I enjoyed your photos very much, they were the moments I would capture- cows, turtles & flowers. Haleakala looks like Mars, just beautiful and you see the little things. After I read your “About Me” I think you are indeed a kindred spirit especially after I found, Love Your Skeletons, which I am reading (very good).
Aloha
Thank you, John! If you like, I can add you to my list of people to notify when Love Your Skeletons is available in print.
I have been very busy lately, but the book is still on the way!
Take good care,
Teresa

Nope, not too religiousy. I think using the paradigm of it is good because so many people are still on that page, so to speak. Teresa, keep up the good work. Love the blog!
