It’s another winter back in Roatan, Honduras and I tend to get the same question when my clients/new friends find out I move from Canada to Honduras every winter to escape the cold (and the lifestyle of Southern Ontario). The number one question I get is “How much does it cost to live on a…
Open PostWow, it’s been a minute. How about a quick update! We spent 5 months in Roatan this winter and I’m back in Canada waiting to get into our new place on Aug 15th. I continue to send all money collected to Island Dogs Rock Rescue in Roatan! This month, Olivia, who runs IDR has been…
Open PostI’m not sure why I have such a hard time keeping my thoughts flowing and sharing that with you in regards to my general theme “Life After Parenthood”. Maybe it’s because I thought what I have to say has no meaning in your day to day life. Maybe it’s because in between doing things that…
Open PostIt’s been almost a year since my last update, but so much has happened, sooo sooo much. This year, I spent even more time in Roatan, but our trip was cut short by Covid-19 – and things just haven’t been the same since. We have all been through isolations/quarantines, now bubbling (whatever that is), and…
Open PostPlease know that I do not like to share terrible photos of dogs, and this is NOT that. Ranger HAS been rescued and is getting medical attention. Update on Ranger: The Dr. saw him and was confident that in about 1 month with the treatment and therapy he will be able to walk again. Olivia…
Open Post“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”― The Dalai Lama I read this quote the other day and it gave me a bit of hope. Because lately, I’ve been feeling quite down on all the things I haven’t done. Let’s take Roatan for example. My goal going…

I am not the animal control population on Roatan, I am not the one who will make you feel good just because you call to say go pick an animal....
I am just one person who desperately tried to alleviate suffering because I just cannot numb myself and turn my head...
What I hate:
Lies, cruelty, indifference, cowards ...
So next time you see suffering I hope you will remember to be human and do something about it...
Because as you see those numbers ...my plate is full and my emotional capacity is overwhelmed.
