CURRENT MISSION

Picasso spent a lifetime learning how to paint like a child. Well I have spent 23 years learning how to be truly happy here and now.

ABOUT ME

I liken myself to a piece of carrot cake. Not too rich, a little bit unconventional, an unusual blend of ingredients but extremely wholesome...and often to be found in a cosey candlelit chai tent at festivals..mmmm :o)

PHILOSOPHY

Look to love,
you may dream,
and if it should leave
then give it wings.
But if such a love
is meant to be;
Hope is home,
and the heart is free.
