It’s Military Spouse Appreciation Day! Mel and her family recently moved just outside of Ottawa, Ontario from Halifax, Nova Scotia. This move was their 5th one thanks to the military. Over the past 14 years as a military spouse, and during the past several years in particular, Mel has been dedicated to not just tolerating her life as a military wife, but truly embracing it and becoming better because of it. Not one to hold back sharing her gifts with others, Mel has become passionate about helping other military spouses experience the same kind of transformation she continues to experience almost every day. She has a background in teaching and degrees in Education, Drama and a minor in Psychology. She is not a professional psychiatrist, parenting expert, nor is she perfect in her own life, but she has insight and instincts that have been instrumental in her own development as a mother, woman and military wife.
