Judy's Story
I've had a colourful life with many unique experiences such as skydiving, but I've also suffered from a lot of tragedy. I've been divorced once and widowed twice and I don't have children. I also lost my two beloved miniature dachshund dogs, Columbo and Valli and even though it's been several years, I still miss my fur babies a lot.
I am pretty strong, grounded and well adjusted. Everyone remarks on my fortitude but when you deal with tragedy there are only two ways to go - sink or swim - I have chosen to swim. Life was never meant to be a bed of roses - it's full of trials and tribulations, for some of us more than others. I have been dealt a rough hand of cards but my deck doesn't have a sympathy card. I want to live and make the most out of the time I have left.
I retired from the government in 2011 and I love my freedom. I have become a Certified Licensed Zumba Gold Instructor. I teach at Chair Zumba to seniors at several retirement homes and I also started my own Zumba Gold Class in the Condo I live in. I work as a part time Zumba Gold and Zumba i...Expand for more
nstructor for the City of Ottawa teaching 7 or 8 classes a week and subbing where and when as needed for other instructors. I love Zumba so much, It has become my second career and I have met so many wonderful people.. If someone had told me what I would be doing after retiring from 34 years of public service, I wouldn't have believed it. I hated Phys Ed in school, but those who remember me might also remember being taught folk dancing from around the world by our gym teacher "Bonnie McNulty" and that part of Phys Ed I loved. I am so inspired by the seniors I work with now!
I met the man of my dreams and life couldn't get any better. We moved in together and did a massive renovation project. We travelled to Viet Nam and Cambodia and we also love cruising and have gone on several cruises together, the last one being a transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale, which was a truly awesome experience. I'm looking forward to doing that again and too many more exciting life adventures.
I welcome any contact with old friends. How are you doing?
