A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Oh I try but the translator lets me down……

The translator is good to get a gist of what was said and what you want to convey but you do have to know the language at least a bit. I am always afraid to chance Italian or Spanish unless I dig out my old books…there is still such a thing as dangerous Italian or any other language with one word spelled wrong. Like my mother (French) who admired a seal coat of her customer years ago …Oh I love your f……ing coat …meaning Phoque (the seal).

Montreal is quite bilingual actually…just wait for the elections to be over this Monday (some folks get a bit extreme..hehe) Since 1974 I have never voted FOR always had to vote against…I hate that.

Thank you for your kind words…the English version is not quite as spontaneous as the French but the meaning is still there.
