Keep On Going Until You Are Stopped

Hey! Here’s a 2-minute clip from my speech at Queen’s University’s Ban Righ Centre, which supports Continuing Education for Women. The topic of my speech was Leap! Living with Passion, Persistence & Poetry. It was a real treat to be invited to Queen’s to speak, and I’m looking forward to returning there early March 2013 to speak and be a panelist for their special conference on Media & Journalism.

Keep on trekking!

Hello faithful readers! How have you been? I’ve been away, speaking & giving poetry readings in Kingston, Ontario. It’s been a fantastic tour. You can find photos from the events on my Facebook Author Page. I’ll soon be posting 2-minute clips of the speech I gave at Queen’s University (LEAP! LIVING WITH PASSION, PERSISTENCE & POETRY) , but for now, here’s the 54-second publicity clip that’s up on Vimeo and YouTube. Please share!

Who Needs a Third Wheel?

Lessons learned while blading along the St. Lawrence River at 8 a.m.

1. You CAN skate six kilometres on a three-wheeled-rollerblade and make it homes safely in one piece.

2. You CAN NOT trust the 18-year-old in the sports store when he says, ‘I can put the new wheels on for you, no problem!”

Yes, there I am, skating along at 15/km an hour —I know this because one of those digital speeding signs on the side of the road clocked me in la belle langue:  Votre Vitesse: 15 —and my wheel starts to fall off. It’s a bumpy ride to the curb, but I manage to make it without a scrape.

I just know my parents are cringing as they read this (The good news, Mum and Dad, is I had a helmet on, and no music in my ears!)

Anyone happen to have a couple spare inline skate wheel screws? No idea where they fell off. I did backtrack four or five kilometres on my three wheeled skate, but wasn’t sure about the shape of my *other* wheels at this point, so I headed home.

I asked you in the introduction to Carry On Dancing to please join me on my small adventures. Perhaps, just for today, you should stay away from me and my adventures!

Have a great day everyone, and play safe.

Heather
