In my blog, All Things Women, I explore the fascinating world of women's issues. Through this I show my sense of humour with articles such as "Is your personality your contraceptive?", "What is it about breasts?", "Is there such a thing as a perfect women?" and "Girlfriends are a lifeline!" (www.allthingswomen.blogspot.com)

But mostly, I am a serious kind of person, who focuses on motivating and training others to excel in life. In my blog, Motivational Magic, I offer guidance to home business owners, inspirational thoughts about life and a bit of good old fashioned common sense and practicality for getting your life in order and moving in the direction YOU want it to go. (www.motivationalmagic.blogspot.com)

I love to laugh, to share my heart and encourage others. I'm the Chairperson for a new and innovative women's organisation, Women Can International Inc. (www.womencaninternational.com and www.womencaninternational.ning.com), but mostly I'm just a plain old mother of four and life is never, ever boring!

I hope you enjoy my writing. I am from a long line of people gifted with words and I see that gifting evident in my daughter, who at 10 years of age, is showing all the signs of being a brilliant journalist.

I know too much about ...

life - some things should never have been seen or heard.

My parents always told me ...

not to do half a job - I'm trying to obey!

My childhood ambition ...

to be a writer, singer, dancer, actress, teacher, hairdresser...

My favorite memory ...

The day I accepted myself, warts and all and decided I would never again apologise for who I am.

Why I write ...

To not write would be a sin.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Everything! Isn't that the job of a writer - observe everything?

My first job ...

Babysitter - don't you just love children?

My best moment ...

Receiving a standing ovation at the Concert Hall after singing and performing.

My inspiration ...

God. He is my purpose. He made me. He owns me. I'm His.
