Two years later and I am at the end of the life-changing M. Ed. program at Mount St. Vincent University. I am happy to have completed the program but sad that the journey with other students has come to an end. I have made new friends with students and professors and made many contacts along the way. I am sure I will be continuing to follow the work of Vivian Vasquez, Jim Gee, Jerome Harste, Andy Manning, Julia Davies, Guy Merchant, Peggy Albers, Colin Lankshear, Michele Knobel, Connie White, Rita Armitage, Blye Frank and others. I am not sure what my next path will be but I am hoping to continue my work with aboriginal education.
This week I will begin my research on aboriginal sacred objects and begin writing for the teacher manual to be published by the Eastern Ontario Catholic Curriculum Cooperative.
It was great to arrive back home in the valley after spending the last two weeks in Toronto. I had a wonderful walk down in the park along the Mississippi River. I really do love small towns! I am looking forward to having dinner with Jo and Bill in Gananoque on Wed. to discuss aboriginal issues and literacy. Next week I'll be heading to northern Ontario, my first home, and the beautiful Manitoulin Island. I'll be taking in the Wikwemikong Pow Wow and hopefully visiting with Jeff Burnham from Goodminds. Right now it's back to the mundane tasks of doing laundry and making meals, cleaning etc. Tomorrow I begin my research after my 14 km run at the Running Room.
Heidi and I have made it home! Good luck Tracy, our new Maritime friend! Have a safe trip home!

Oh Bonnie, I am so glad to be home! It was a long day and a late night, but I am finally here. I am so glad that you are settling back into life as you know it- i am looking forward to falling back into my routine as well. The mundane can be so comforting. Enjoy your trip, keep us posted!
Hi ladies,
Congratulations on completing the program. You rock. Blogger B. good luck tomorrow on your long run. I will be thinking of you as I sip wine and discuss the past two weeks at my sister's reception at my mom's. I tried to create a video for her, because I am now such an expert...it failed...miserably. I guess I won't be giving up my day job any time soon...on we go.
Monday we'll be leaving for "Beantown" (thanks, t, for the reminder of the name...love it). Talk soon! T...glad you made it home and your plane didn't get caught in the "hurricane"!!
