the new Prairie

Last term is coming to a close and I am currently on Practicum at Discover Moose Jaw https://discovermoosejaw.com shooting sports and learning the ways of radio. I have been in Moose Jaw for three months and all I have met tell me I am home with their kindness and generosity. These riders, for instance, letContinue reading “the new Prairie”

So as the weekend has flown by working on my magazine, setting up interviews, transcribing and taking photos for my next assignment, I am thinking of all the incredible photos I have taken in Nicaragua.

let’s have some sunshine today

I have been going over the photos from my journeys abroad for inspiration and I am having difficulty choosing what to write about today. As everyone in Canada, I too am at home and continuing my studies here at my desk while my hubby is working in our den; both of us communicating with theContinue reading “let’s have some sunshine today”
