Lady's Slipper is a compilation of prose and poetry that reflects Judy's thoughts and responses to major life events from childhood through adulthood and retirement. As a young teacher of special needs children and preschoolers, she often made up stories and songs for dancing and gym activities to encourage running, jumping, stretching and learning. Later, as a lawyer, Judy's legal and academic writing became more structured and functional, often losing the creative edge. But, as she travelled across Canada over the years between Quebec and Alberta, Alberta and Newfoundland, and Alberta and British Columbia, Judy wrote notes and short poems in her journals to describe Canadian landscapes. Whether her journeys were by car, bus, or train, she tried to vividly describe simple images. More recently, Judy and her elder sister began writing poetry to one another to share stories where memories, family, and friends featured prominently. At its core, Lady's Slipper is about human transformation in a complex, dynamic ecosystem where everything is connected.
