Dianne Young

A mother, a writer (who loves word play), a birder, a widow, a retiree - Dianne lives with her dog, Posey, and her cat, Lysette, in Martensville, Saskatchewan.

Dianne has always preferred trying new things to practising the same ones over and over--just ask her childhood piano teacher! The mantra “You never know until you try” gave Dianne the incentive to leap out of her comfort zone and prove to herself that turning 60 is not so bad after all. (see 60 Things: A Year To Remember)

After 30 years of marriage, Dianne Young became a widow at the age of 55. "It changes you. You don't get over it, but you do get through it. I am so grateful to these women for sharing their grief journeys." (see Dear Me: The Widow Letters)
