For those of you blog-hopping around this week, I was inspired by M at http://alwayswishhopethinkpray.blogspot.com to list 5 random facts about me.
1. I just received my diploma in the mail for graduating with my MA in Counselling Psychology. Hooray! The paper makes it so official.
2. I'm kind of a huge homebody. I love being at home. I love doing things for my home. I'm still new to "crafting" but I enjoy knitting, some sewing, baking, canning, and just living in a pretty space. Maybe I'll show you around my home sometime...
3. I live on Vancouver Island in B.C., Canada. Honestly, I have traveled the world (okay some of it), and the beauty found here is incomparable. Seriously, if you have not made it to B.C., you NEED to come!
4. I love outdoor activities. I'm not a huge extreme sports person, but I like snowshoeing, cross country skiing, canoeing, hiking, biking (only leisurely), etc. I take a walk at least once a day and that is my time to refresh.
5. Currently, I am the only member of my family in Canada, though we are all from here. My parents are in California and getting ready to go to Israel, my little sister lives in Australia, and my little brother (and wife and niece) in Montana. It's nice to be home for Christmas (our first Christmas in our first home), but sad to have everyone spread so far. A little lonely here this year.
Well, that's me. I'd love to get to know you, so feel free to leave some random facts about you.
Hi from ICLW!
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted to chapstick. I'll drive out of my way to stop and get one if I can't find it. :)
Congratulations on getting you degree in the mail! It's great to have that paper, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Slynn, it's nice to 'meet' you! Glad I was able to inspire you a little. I love your number 1..I have a BA in Psych, and planned to go for my MA, but ended up getting it in special education instead. I still dream of being a counselor someday...we'll see! I just followed your blog and will be sure to catch up in the next few days. Talk to you soon!

Hi Slynn - I appreciated your comment on my blog :) We do have a lot in common actually. I did Psychology honours and did want to do masters but I didn't get in. So I think ever since then I've been trying in my own way to still do counselling - I had a website healwithheather.com but it no longer works. I still like the idea of of writing self help stuff, and I continue to do that kind of thing, but lately I think my interest has been for fertility.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I'm a teacher now! It's an interesting job. :)
Good luck for your IUI and I hope and pray it works. I went through two of them. If you have a good fertility clinic I know they can help you, so good luck!
Hello all! Nice to meet you too. This is a fun way to get to know people.
