In reply to Dawna Copeland. Hi Dawna. Thanks for the support. I am glad I was able to help bump you in a good direction. I remember those discussion very well. I recall we chatted that you might have to live back in BC for a year before being considered for any financial assistance (a hiccup I discovered in my trek from Ontario to Alberta). I am glad to see that seed bloomed so well.

So true Randy, I could see that so often working in corrections , the difference between me and a lot of them is the influences that I was lucky enough to encounter at the times I did. The seeds that were planted, words spoken and hope given. I was so fortunate to be in an environment where I could pay some of that forward. We can all make differences by kindness and decency. And as I’ve said before you played a roll in me going to college which was something I had never considered until I worked with you and Dean and you planted the seed of possibility, which led me to Vancouver Island, to college and then to Corrections as a summer job that lasted 20 years lol. Thank you for that.

Hi Cathy. I like the way you worded your comment – “shine light into another’s”. That pretty much sums up the purpose of this blog. As always, it’s so wonderful to hear from you.

We all make choices and decisions I’ve made some good ones and some bad ones. Some I wish I had a do over. Some choices I would make over and over.

Kudos to u opening up your life in order to shine some light into another’s.

So proud of u.
