- About Me:
Whilst this is no a picture of me, twould be how I rather fancy myself during the olde time period...awe to be young, beautiful and live in a past time, where honour and love were all that mattered.... "a girl can dream, can't she?"
Child of Universe, Lover of Nature, Animals and Mankind Ok now I am ready to add more information here:
I am first and foremost a woman, who is a young 54 married to a wonderful man who is the Laird of our Clan. He is forever my Highlander. We have 1 adult daughter and 1 teenage daughter and a new grandson with a very good scottish name, Alexander Duncan. I took an early retirement as a sheriff's sergeant in 1998, to stay home with my, then 3 year old, daughter. My husband is a high Ranking officer in our Fire Department and a firefighter/paramedic/pediatric trauma nurse, too. I walk the pagan path of Wicca and have keen interests in the Druids, as my family came to Canada from Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland and from County Derry, Ireland. My grandmother was a McGregor and we descend from the MacGregor, MacClean and Duncan Clans.
I take care of an aging parent which limits some of my activities. I am a genealogical researcher; researching in the USA, Canada and the UK. My mother's family immigrated from Germany to the USA in the 1700's and were members of the Moravian Faith. I prefer my scottish roots as I am more closely connected to them. I am also a member of the NSDAR as my fifth great grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War and I've been able to prove that descendant line with documentation.
I am not ashamed of any work that I have done in my life, though people tend to shy away from me when I say that I am a retired cop. I have no connections to that part of my life. I will from time to time mention it as it relates to a story that I am telling. That part of my life is part of who I am. I do not judge people for their lifestyle or their past. Our past, whether good or bad, is a part of who we are. Dwelling on the negative aspects of our past is not healthy but learning from them is what makes us stronger.
I have high expectations of honor, trust and loyalty. I do not like people who I cannot trust as this is a clear violation of the path that I have chosen. I wish no ill to anyone, only happiness and enlightenment.
- Favorite Books
- Historical Romance novels, with a keen likeness to the Scottish-Time Travel Romance
I also like to read books on different paths of faith to make my self aware of what is out there. I am still learning, every day.
- Beliefs / Practices
- Pagan, Druid
- Other Beliefs/Practices
- I've a keen association with those who practice wicca...and a tendancy to rely on witchcraft at times...This does no make me an indecisive practioner, as some might think, but cunning enought to employ and unite those aspects of the two paths to my liking.
- Hobbies
- Quilting, Sewing, Machine Embroidery work, teaching when I'm allowed the time, craft work, painting and genealogy work.
- Heroes
- My Husband & my late Sire
- Likes
- Old Scotch-Irish ballads, Celtic music, Some classical...Ode to Joy is my favorite, music of the 30's, 40's, 50's 60's and 70's... I like the BlueRidge Mountains of North Carolina & Virginia, sitting by the fire and reading historical romance novels, any type of historical or biographical books and books that cover aspects of different paths. I like thunderstorms and like to sleep when it's raining and/or cold. Well damn I could write a book on all that I like...suffice it to say that there's not much I don't like....
- Dislikes
- People who are untruthful, take things that are not their's and who basically have no Honor. Arrogant behavior without the knowledge to deserve such arrogance. "Path Jumpers", people who jump from one path to the next based on their desire to be noticed or accepted. People who claim a heritage that they cannot prove through documentation and/or research. Anyone can say they "are" but not many can "prove" they are....
I dislike rap, country and several other types of music..

Paying respects to my Aunt who passed last evening...
Deanna Durbin, at age 18, singing Franz Schubert's masterpiece.
Yes it's Ava Maria and everytime I hear this song I'm filled with memories of my Aunt. She was born in 1928 and is my mom's older sister. She passed peacefully in her sleep last eve after enduring several weeks of the end stages of bone cancer. It was agonizing for my two cousins to watch their mother suffer so. My Aunt Lou...was a large and strong woman. She was an angel of mercy, helping thousa… Continue

A Beautiful Soul who loved as a woman and as a man...her words will live on forever...Amantine Dupin aka: George Sand
“I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.”

Scottish Fight for Freedom ....The Declaration of Arbroath 1320...Translated into English from Latin

When I Fail as a Human Being...
