My Highland Heart beats on ...

Let me tell you how this "blog" thought started. About a month ago, Ashlyn called me and told me that she was asked to speak in her church meeting at Brigham Young University that Sunday. She wanted some of my "family history" stories. I have so many amazing experiences and although I could think of many I had to look up a few details, including years. I have written or partially written many family histories (none of which are published yet, because I am a working mother etc. etc. etc.), but I have never written the stories of the stories. How did I find that person? Who gave me the records that were found in the fireplace of the Shiels Church in Belhelvie, Scotland ( I have slate from the roof of that old church). What happened when the bus hit my car in Liege, Belgium ... did I speak enough french to demand the police? How did I feel when I ascended a hill in Cornesse, with a postcard of my Grandfather's in my hand and right in front of me was the same church that was on that old postcard ... in a sense I was home? ETC. ETC. ETC. So this blog is an attempt to leave some of those stories and the ones still being written for my children and anyone else who wants to read. The Highlands and so many other places ARE in my HEART ! I believe that I live where I live for a reason and my passion for family is inherent ... eternal!
