: About Me

A lifelong resident of Southern Australia, I am currently tackling the amazing challenge of raising three young children. I stumbled upon Helium by chance and have reveled in manipulating words ever since.

My childhood ambition ...

My first job ...

Teaching piano

My best moment ...

Three of them, equally wonderful....being handed our newborn children

My inspiration ...

People who are faithful and dedicated when no one is watching and no reward is likely.
