The Journey Begins

I am a strong, outspoken ( Irish Aries) female politician who for the past 20 years has worked both with and against the old boys club to try and make a positive difference in the City of Niagara Falls Ontario because I love this community. That journey has rarely been easy. I have raised 4 grown children, also rarely easy but so worth it, and an amazing granddaughter who is the love of my life. I currently live with my three crazy dogs. I may have an addiction to Goldendoodles, that is undiagnosed at the moment although I do admit to being addicted to anything Broadway or political. I have also lived the past 17 years with a rare, incurable disease called MEN1,( yes there is a disease called MEN) that creates multiple cancerous tumours in my neuroendocrine organs that has been managed, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. I refuse to let that define me, but it does has its moments. I have a passion for travel, reading anything and everything, and the ocean. I like to think that while living a life I could never have predicted I have made a small difference in this world, and with this blog will continue to do that while thinking out loud.
