: About Me

My passion has always been acting.
Acting and writing are essentially both telling a story.
I have only recently turned my efforts towards writing, as a way of expression and also for a hobby.

I enjoy taking real life experiences, adding a dash of imagination and fiction, and creating something that has the potential to touch another.

Opinions expressed are NOT necessarily my own - I try to write in a manner that opens the mind, and evokes debate...therefore playing the Devil's advocate is something I relish !
I am still getting used to this site, and really enjoying reading other peoples articles.

My passion is ...

writing, reading, swimming, soccer, acting, running, and of course my three beautiful children

I know too much about ...

everything - I am an expert.....ha ha ha ha

My parents always told me ...

You can spend your whole life trying to please everyone......and they still won't be happy - best to live your life according to what matters to you.

My childhood ambition ...

To marry Billy Idol.

My favorite memory ...

Too many, but my most favourite recent memory was homebirthing my third child.

Why I write ...

I enjoy the challenge of finding words and ways of expressing an opinion. I enjoy being made to think, and thus enjoy presenting an opportunity for others to think.

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

I am in love with "Flight of the conchords" - very funny. I also enjoy Dexter - interesting character, writing and subject matter. I relate strongly with Neal Donald Walsche, and am currently reading "well adjusted babies" - a look at chiropractic care for the family.

My first job ...

Waitress at a local pizza restaurant, from there I have been many places !

My best moment ...

Obviously it would be my wedding day, and the birth of all my children

My inspiration ...

life. It hasn't always been easy, and if fact I have probably had more than my fair share of challenges, But - there have been some fabulous lessons and insights along the way, and the more I experience, the stronger I get !
