"Don't care who the sperm donor was, an' you don't need to either... You gotta lotta people care about you here. People who love you. That's what family is. Genetics ain't got nothing to do with it." ❤️ I hope you enjoy my writing and its uplifting focus on no matter what path you traveled to get you to today, you get a say in creating the next chapter of your own life's fairy tale. ❤️ After 4 decades as a creative program director, professional volunteer manager, animal Reiki practitioner, and loss & grief counsellor, I have worked with children through the elderly and have been blessed to watch many real-life transformations around me. ❤️ I've led mostly volunteer workforces and have learned more about human nature, emotion, and healing than was ever taught to me in an academic program. ❤️ Whether you found my stories of love and resilience first in the Dog Cove Chronicles series, my silly Middle School humor books, my stories and articles from decades past, or even my pet "pawtraits" on social media under my art studio persona, I'm very happy you're here right now. ❤️ My gifting is first and foremost as an encourager and empowerer of others. I try to put that into every story and article I write, and I also hope it comes through in everything that I do. ❤️ Suzy xoxox
