: About Me

Greetings
Until September last year I was harnessed to a job that I knew in side out. It was good money, and it was killing me. Once I had made the decision to leave , things started falling into place. Instead of resigning , I was offered a redundancy. Gotta love that right sizing!
At the same time tumors were discovered on my ovaries and I needed urgent surgery. I finished my job on the Tuesday, Oncologist on the Wednesday, blood tests on the Thursday and six hours of surgery on the Friday.
I have had people comment on the terrible timing. The truth is , it all worked out perfectly. I was paid up so money wasn't an issue, I did not have to go to work so I could focus totally on my recovery and I had time to myself. This time allowed me to set a couple of 'me' goals for 2008. Writing is one of those goals , and so here I am.
This is going to be the 'year of no fear', I am going to tackle those things I always wanted to do.
I look forward to learning lots, making new friends and growing as a person.
