this is the blog of Bonnie Stewart, educator and project/program coordinator and grant writer and editor. see also: partner and mama and daughter and listener and lover of jellybeans. i enjoy discourse theory and a good amaretto sour. i am recovering from a codependent relationship with my couch.
i live in a pointy-roofed white house in PEI with a Dave, a little Oscar, a littler Josephine, aka Posey, and Clementine the neglected cat. Dave & i live without Finn, our firstborn, a 26 week preemie who died in my arms eleven hours after his birth. this blog is where we exist as a family, narrated into some kind of coherent being.
i’ve lived on all three coasts of Canada, and in Asia and Eastern Europe. i started a Ph.D in media and communications, once, in Switzerland. i plan to start another in the near future, in post-structural educational theory, which is not as pretty as Switzerland but cheaper and more my heart’s desire. i have a fetish for spelling and trivia, and aspire to be on Celebrity Jeopardy because i’ve accepted that i’ll never win otherwise. i’m not terribly competitive, but enough. i enjoy strategizing the improbable.
and some small part of me is saving herself for David Bowie, who is coming one of these days, but is not hurrying.
i don’t really believe in wholeness. i don’t really believe in copyright either, but will respect yours. and would like to be attributed if you use my words.
i write to leave a mark in the snow.
