About Me...

If you have looked at my facebook page, you will see that there is nothing there 'About' me personally. Today I am giving you an insight into what I am about.

I grew up in a naturally beautiful part of the world ... 'nature at its best' ...  in the countryside. Surrounding my home was open land, and also forests; there were mountains and rivers, and the ocean nearby ... with I might add, beaches of pure white sand ... amongst the loveliest that can be found on the planet.

I was (I suppose) a gentle child, and a dreamer - even back then I imagined perfect scenes of how my life would be. It has taken time ... but now it is not a dream ... the sequences have fitted together, and formed a divine picture ... I guess like a movie, that I am starring in. And we can all star in our own movie - find what your passion is and create it. Mine is people and writing - and now I am combining the two.

I am an ordinary person, who has worked in different areas, and at times done what some would consider menial work. But all work is valuable and is part of the chain that keeps us functioning in this world.

When I was sixteen I wanted to be a nurse; then I started training, and I found that I wasn't very good at it(not practical enough). But it was then that I discovered that I engaged with people. Some years later I studied Social Science, and worked in Community Welfare ... and realized that above all, I was a 'people person'.

I wasn't always happy in my life, as you will read in my story ... but from my fiftieth birthday I was taken on another path in my journey. Along the way I was to learn amazing things, and my education really began in earnest.

What I discovered has come full circle ... I am home and completely content ... and sooo grateful.
