: About Me

I am a part-time freelance writer and I have been writing consistently since the age of twenty. I discovered helium a couple of years ago and I have found it is an excellent way to build writing skills and to connect and share with other writers.

I love sharing experiences about life and the world we live in through writing. My aim is to improve my writing skills and share my knowledge with as many people as possible.

I completed training as a professional flautist and I am now freelancing as a part-time musician. In addition to this, I work as a holistic therapist specialising in stress management. I am also a third degree reiki master and teacher.

I was born in Northern Ireland in 1983 and I now live and work in London. I love reading and writing, playing music, horseriding, going for long walks and spending time with my life partner Mark. I have just finished my first novel and I am now in the process of getting it ready for the publisher. My ambition in life is to simply be happy and content with what I have (and to keep writing!)

My passion is ...

Writing about life and enjoying the moment.

I know too much about ...

Life, truth and the importance of honesty.

My parents always told me ...

Be true to who you are.

My childhood ambition ...

To be a professional horsewoman.

My favorite memory ...

Looking out of my old bedroom window at the London skyline.

Why I write ...

I love writing and sharing my thoughts with the world around me.

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

I am currently reading 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle.

My first job ...

Working for the Royal Household

My best moment ...

Being applauded after doing a recital back home.

My inspiration ...

Mark (my life partner) and my mum.

Motivation - uh oh...How do we keep ourselves motivated to lose the pounds when embarking on a brand new exercise regime? *Little and Often: Whatever you do, don't push yourself to the point where you feel as though you are struggling to lose weight.
