Story Telling is a passion that has always been with me. I recall a team mate on night duty saying "Bonnie, I am so tired, tell me one of your stories!" That would start a great laugh, and of course, bring forth a story. I needed to write, just short pieces to accompany photos I would be submitting to different publications. Then, out of the blue, while I was trimming a very old Lilac Tree here on the Lowe family land in Shoal Harbor, NL, I caught the scent of the Lilac and knew I had to write about the experience of how the memories of all those ‘vacation only’ trips to Newfoundland came tumbling from my memory bank. That story was accepted by the Provincial Daily Paper here in Newfoundland and when I saw it, saw my name as the author, I was TOTALLY HOOKED ON WRITING, and have never looked back. I write for many publications, and am active in our community and our province, trying to give back as much as I gave to Nova Scotia for thirty years. Up Til' Now
