Light the Night Walk

Thursday, October 7, 2010 – Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto, Ontario

As some of you may know, I lost my only sister to lymphoma in September of 2005. Kathryn Anne Berning was more than my big sister - she was my best friend, a wonderful mother, a daughter, a wife, and a rare shining light in a world that so desperately needs lights like hers. Learning how to get along without her isn’t easy, but we’re all taking it one step at a time, and to that end I walk in her memory each year as part of Light the Night, organized by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

I welcome you to sponsor me or join the walk yourself.

Writescape ‘Turning Leaves’ Retreat

Sir William Mackenzie Inn

Kirkfield, Ontario

I’ve been invited by my friends Ruth Walker and Gwynn Scheltema to join them in facilitating one of their weekend writing retreats – when you see the location you’ll know why they didn’t have to twist my arm very hard! The theme of this retreat is ‘A Sense of Time and Place’. You can find full details at their website, here.
