A Dragon is a protector, still a warrior for the good and the honest. And Dragons love poetry, gems, modesty, painting, photography – and yes, writing!

7 things about me:

1. I am currently reading: The Anatomy of Story – 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller by John Truby.

2. I finally bought that new camera.

3. I attended Jeffery Straker’s sold out gig this past week. I wish him well as he continues his tour across Canada.

4. Last night I attended a concert at Massey Hall. Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell with RICHARD THOMPSON!!! I have fond memories of discovering Emmylou’s recordings in the 1980s and Richard Thompson…well what can I say! I have all of his albums except for the new one.

5. Today was my mom’s 83rd birthday. I had her over for dinner, cake and presents.

6. Weight loss update: I’ve lost 18 pounds since January.

7. I love California Mandarin oranges. I’ve been buying them in two-pound bags, lately. I can’t get enough of them!

Thanks for reading, and Raani…thanks again for the award.

Best regards,
