Susan Barclay Hawley is passionate about communicating; through spoken and written words, interior design, and a variety of creative projects. In recent years, due to personal experience, communicating about grief specifically, has taken on new meaning. Recognizing that it’s something we all experience throughout our lives but so often refuse to share in public, Sue is on a mission to bring grief out of hiding. When acknowledged, shared with trusted people, and embraced, Sue maintains that grief can actually be beautiful - connecting people at a heart level like nothing else.
Sue writes about her heart-changing, relationship-building experiences with loss and grief in her soon to be released memoir “Shadow Gifts”.
Tracy Lalonde loves. She seeks to live restfully in the complicated simplicity of “Love God. Love People.” With a background in linguistics and literature, she added a passion for history and drama through her years of active involvement in the home education community. High sensory and multi-passionate, she loves deep conversations and quiet moments – and coffee! Of her many loved quotes, a favourite is from Dr Seuss – “Oh, the things that a thinker can think!!”
