Passion #1 - Removing the Mask of Domestic Violence

Hiking Home for Shelter

Linda Murphy left her home on March 26th, 2019 to travel to the Mexican border in Campo, California, then turned North and commenced with a 4,279 km/2,659mi, non-supported, solo trail-hike...back to Canada! 
With everything she needed on her back - a tent, freeze-dried food, minimal clothing, etc, and exiting the trail every 3 - 7 days to re-supply.
Linda made this journey because (In her own words):
​ "I am safe, I am strong, and I am grateful - for my violence-free life, and that of our three daughters - I am doing this because I can, and those  who suffer from violence won't receive the safe shelter and counselling they and their children need, if we, who can, don't raise the money to pay for it"

Author's Passion #2  -  Supporting Special Women with their Business Initiatives

LINEN FARM.COM

What began as a long anticipated sisters trip to explore their Baltic heritage evolved into the creation of Linen Farm.  
A lifelong love affair with linen began with a few precious linen tablecloths woven by their grandmother and given to each sister.  As one of the few family belongings that survived the atrocities of WWII, this was, and always will be a treasured family heirloom.
Their line of linen scarves are simply stunning.  Designed in Canada, made in Europe.
