{pronounced May-ri Kah-ha-ni}

Spending wishful moments up in The Faraway Tree {it was actually my attic}, created a childhood full of wonder and delight.  My Father would return from long, working day trips to London, shopping for textiles, with comic books that ignited a sense of self and nourished my love for language and story.

A mother, wife, elementary teacher and writer, inspired by words from around the globe, I fill treasured moments with scribbled notes-to-self in one of my many notebooks.  One day, the words hidden in those pages, will form the serifs of a yet untitled story waiting to be brought to life, so I listen, write and grow closer to that special day.

Until recently, these words would only have been spoken or written but, while embarking on an unexpected journey, and becoming mother to a hard of hearing child, an otherwise unknown experience is being fulfilled.  The tender beauty of signed words makes my love of language and the understanding of difference even closer to my heart.

Inspired by the strength of my little lion cub and supported by my partner in the work of equity and justice, I continue to fill notebooks with kahanian, as we circle back across country, to reside with gratitude on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.
