It's late and I need to get to bed, but I just had to journal first. I have a new love in my life. He is fair of face, but has dark hair. My heart is already bursting when I think of him. His name is Damien Trace Persaud, and he was born by emergency c section at approximately 4:30 pm Toronto time today... 5 lbs 7oz, and as healthy as he should be.
It is such an interesting feeling to become a grandparent, and I suppose the feeling is heightened by the fact that this little bundle comes to our family from a daughter. There is this sudden connection I feel with her as she enters the world of being a mom. She is beside herself with joy, excitement, and a level of love that she never ever thought possible. I can't wait to see him, to see them both and hold them in my arms. Today, I am truly blessed.

- My kids and the strong bond we share, are the most important things to me. Over the years I've done many things. I attained my certification for a fitness instructor and taught in many areas such as kickboxing, circuit training, pilates, African dance, hatha and ashtanga yoga. I have received my certification for a Special Needs Educational assistant. This allowed me to work with a group of wonderful kids in a Positive Development Program at an inner city school in Edmonton. Today, I am an area supervisor for a retail home renovation store. I achieved my certification as a belayer in top rope rock climbing, and also as a lead climber. I attained my black belt in 2004. There is an excitement and feeling of self sustaining when I grow a garden, collect wild berries, then can a whole winters supply of juices, jams, sauces, syrups, fruits, ketchups, and salsas. I am very passionate about the outdoors, and my big dream of all times is to one day live out in the mountains with nothing but the wilderness at my doorstep. I would hike, fish, x country ski, snow shoe, kayak, mountain bike, rock climb, practice kung fu on top of a mountain, and grow a huge garden in the summer.
