Susan Beresford - Ian R
People just want to feel happy and content. I’m Susan Beresford and that’s my goal. Each day I wake up and take a second to feel grateful for this day in my life.
Currently I’m living in Kelowna, BC, Canada. I work as both a medical laboratory assistant and a licensed practical nurse. I’m fortunate to have a 14 year old Tennessee Walking Horse gelding out of a sweet little mare I had for twenty years. “Memphis” brings his share of joy, especially when we ride into the mountains.
I’ve had many amazing life experiences; some of them are tragic but they are a part of who I am. My interests are varied, the occupations I’ve had are interesting and there is this passion for writing about all of it.
