About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To write full time

ABOUT ME

My thinking & lifestyle is so faaaaar outside the box, just the waaaay I like it. I'm not sure if I could ever find my way back to what society says is "normal" even if I wanted to - certainly don't want to !!!

I'm a single mom of the world's greatest five year old who has traveled more than most adults & speaks French.

Duke (my son) & I live in the Art Museum area (Fairmount), close to down town, walking distance to all the Museums & cool cafe's bars etc.

PHILOSOPHY

My "dogma" on life is;
Everything that happens in our lives is in someway inter-connected & all happens for a reason.

Karma will come back to bite us on the arse (Aussie spelling) if we do wrong !!!

Rules I live by.....

Listen to stories carefully - ya might learn something.

Explore everyday, even in ya own neighborhood, ya might see something new & magical.

Enjoy the moment.

Follow your passions no matter how crazy they might seem.

Hug, Smile & Love like ya mean it those three things can make a MASSIVE difference in someone's day.
