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.

Thanks, Georgia. I am reminded of stories youths have shared with me about their ancestors. One youth was suicidal, living up North and I asked him about the Northern Lights, his tone changed, he talked about his ancestors come back to tell them they are well on the other side. I asked him, “But wouldn’t they say you still have things to finish up before crossing over?” That shifted the all to one of hope:)
