About me My name is Trish. Blogging for Change... inspiring you to make change: in your own life and for social good.
I am interested in the pursuit of bettering our lives. I like to write about issues & activities of interest to me, sometimes doing advocacy work, sometimes to express myself personally. I also post samples of my amateur photography.
My two beautiful school-aged girlies and I live in Nova Scotia since July of 2006, after having moved around Canada. I am the Director of Mommy Connetions Halifax. I have a broad range of interests, but some of the things you’ll see me post about include: diabetes; cancer; early learning & care, family, and women; scrapbooking; reading; running; social justice; parenting; and life balance…
I am currently a registered Social Worker Candidate, previously an early childhood educator, child care centre director, and interim director of two not-for-profit agencies.
