Gratitude for the Men and Women of our Healthcare system.


To the Men and Women of the Nova Scotia Healthcare system



I simply can not express the gratitude and thankfulness enough to these people. My name is Wanda Lynn Ellis (Boutilier) and I had been suffering for many years with C-PTSD, DEPRESSION, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), DD (Dissociate disorder) and DA (Dissociative Amnesia). I also suffered with seizures (non-epileptic), going blind temporarily, and could not control my impulses all the while my brain or eyes was seeing it happen. ... This is called Functional Neurological Disorder. 

I suffered a lot, with such pain that I am surprised I withstood it. I was alone in life with the exception of a controlling boyfriend or husband, no family, no friends. When I started the healing process is when the seizures started happening, right after reading having the courage to heal.

When no one knows the abuse you are enduring, they judge and look down on you. My responses were caused by unnatural acts caused by others. While I never spoke of it, I was kicked out of my apt because no one would listen to what I was trying to tell them. A lot of bad things happen to woman and men are being abused and can't find or have support. I made some bad choices to get out of the situations I was in. No excuse though, THEY WERE MY CHOICES, and I felt I had no choice.

Without the great people from the Mobile Crisis, Dartmouth General, the QE2, Mental Health services and, peer support I wouldn't be here today. They were there for me no matter how bad my situation was, and I give thanks to them all.

I am through it all, all of it. I did it with their help. It was so very much hard work but here I am, and I am so GRATEFUL.

I want to write a book of what had caused this, and I will. These people are the one thing that helped me to help myself to stay alive and finally be okay.

With much Love and Gratitude

Wanda Lynn Ellis (Boutilier)

A Rare Look at the Secret Life of Orangutans - A review by Wandalynn.

A Rare Look at the Secret Life of Orangutans By Wandalynn Ellis 7/13/18 In this short film, “A Rare Look at the Secret Life of Orangutans” two passionate people dive into the unique world of the Wild Orangutans. Tim Laman, an award winning Photojournalist and Bird Expert with National Geographic and Melissa Lesh, an award winning Documentary Film maker, and founder of Emerging Earth Films from the United States, have constructed a creative look into the Secret Social and Cultural Structures of the Orangutans. In the lowlands of the Borneo Rain-forest, there is a research station headed by Cheryl Knott. This long term project also has a young adventurer, who captures “rare and never before seen footage of these ‘People of the Forest.’” This piece had dramatic cinematography, and a mood of passion and conviction. There is much strength to this film; including it being directed, produced and edited by one or two creative people. The combination of still camera, drone shots,...
