Roxsane K TiernanRoxsane [Zip} is an energetic, compulsive, hard-working 75-year-old. She has caring, community-oriented siblings, two wonderful daughters, and five grandchildren. Her wide circle of friends is scattered all over the globe and at home, she has a wondeful man named, Bill, who makes her life complete. Roxsane's early life was challenging but she completed her Teacher's training at UBC, taught in a one-room ungraded [Grades 1-8] school on Harrison Lake, married George Dheilly, and together they raised three beautiful daughters. The youngest, Marcia, died of a brain tumor in 1981. Their marriage fell apart in 1983/1984. Needing to find more meaning in her life after the girls left home she decided to go back to University to finish her B.Ed. and get back to the most meaningful career she could find, teaching at the high school level. Since then she has worked in Mexico, traveled extensively, and taught international students and immigrants before retiring and becoming a prolific artist and author. Life is not fair. The most important lesson Zip taught many students. Students from many foreign places who still phone out of the blue at 4:30 am just to talk or young friends of her daughters who email a plea to help them understand their partner's needs-ASK THEM---how to keep their marriage going---SPEND QUALITY TIME TOGETHER-BE UPFRONT AND HONEST---be patient with life, it's not finished with you yet.
