Robin has many joys in life. When she is not working, she is usually outdoors hiking and walking
with her dog Sprite, swimming, and camping in the summer, her favourite time of year.
In the winter, snow shoeing and walking to keep active is a must, but hunkering down with a book and an excellent cup of coffee in front of the fireplace is a great day. She loves taking photos and can’t get enough of scrapbooking to preserve memories and loves sharing these with her family and friends.
Being outdoors in nature is her spiritual connection, and an important part of her self-care.
