Country 93.1FM interview

3 of my books, all available on Amazon

The trip back to Manitoba in February was steady going, and quite frankly, busy,  but we knew it would be.  I knew it would be, planning a last minute trip to go back to share the stories I’ve written and published.  Setting up as many schools as I could to try and justify the dollars out against the heart tugs in.  It was hectic, and for one who keeps working towards slowing life down, because that’s what the body is requiring, it took a little extra oomph to get through most of the days.  But it was wonderful and it was all that I’d hoped it would be.
 
One of my favourite mornings was spent at Long Plain School, sharing Shane’s stories with children learning in a place where my Mom was the kindergarten teacher for over 30 years.  It was so cool to see how many people who are still their either remembered her, or were taught by her at one point in their lives.  An extra bonus that day was getting the chance to speak with Travis Roberts, the morning show host on Country 93.1 in Portage la Prairie. It was really interesting to hear what was required to do the work that he does, as well as to see the interest that was inspired in the children, with the biggest message being to get your education, and you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
 
I was really lucky that in the last hours of our stay in Manitoba, I had the chance to head into the studio with Travis and talk about the books, Shane’s story and the lessons carried forward and shared because of him.  The session aired after we’d returned home to BC, and with my time adjustment challenges, I missed catching it online, so Travis was kind enough to send me the clips used on radio, and has Kindly given me permission to share them with you here, if you missed it as well!  Thanks Travis, both for sending the clips and for allowing others to share their stories and their passions through your medium.  It is truly appreciated!
