Reflections and Ripples...

I thoroughly enjoyed writing about my experiences in Cape Dorset. I'm missing writing every day... this blog became an obsession with me- I wanted to keep a record for myself, stay in contact with my family and offer a commentary for anyone who might be interested. Although when I began writing I had no idea how many people would be interested!

As a result of my CBC interview (which has  been aired a couple of times now) and folks sharing my blog while I was away and afterwards, I seem to have even more people coming to check out my blog now. So I'd like to offer a bit of an apology...

This is a sprawling play-by-play of my time in the North. I wrote every day about what I was doing, thinking and feeling. I wish I'd thought to make it more structured, but at the time I was just madly writing. So, welcome! I'm pleased that this blog has a life of its own. I hope that it will inspire people to learn more about this fascinating part of our country. For me, it was just the beginning of a new relationship with teaching, and possibly a new relationship with writing...
