When I am on my own and can hyperfocus.
I feel most productive, no I am most productive when I have the time and space to hyperfocus. This generally entails having a pending timeline, or demands which need to be met. The combination of a looming deadline, appointment or date, with clearly defined time and space boundaries enables me to hyperfocus, and pretty much…

A mixed bag of all-sorts
Describe something you learned in high school. Unfortunately we moved around whilst I was in my teens, and attended 4 different high schools. I started high school as a fresh-faced, quasi exuberant girl, with an insatiable appetite for learning 11year-old. So, as the very reserved, softly-spoken, fly-under-the-radar 8th child of 10 kids, my first day…

Mmm let me think!!!
Who is the most confident person you know? Not me, that’s for sure. I need to take a dip in a deep bucket of confidence. No, not a dip but a long satiating lounge in deeply ‘fortifying’ waters. Perhaps then I would proactively and consciously move out of my own shadows.

Not at all.
Are you superstitious? Okay where did I put that pesky rabbit’s foot? Oh that’s right next to the bags of salt (which are exactly 5 steps away -without any cracks in the flooring). Oh snap, I accidentally bumped the ladder against the wall, causing an antique mirror to fall, shattering into a million pieces. Thankfully,…

You learned to balance life, your roles as mother and wife. You found your passion and purpose, deeply sated, not just on the surface. You allowed your mind to…

Where wouldn’t I?
Where would you go on a shopping spree? My first stop would be all about Cameras and every conceivable lens, especially brilliant quality macro lenses. My second stop would be airline travel sites, booking flights to Norway, Finland, Faroe Islands. Then train tickets and accommodation sites. I’d make sure that I had done considerable research…

All about compassion.
What is the last thing you learned? I learned that compassion, empathy, and human sensibilities can in fact double as an incredible superpower. They have the capacity to take the ordinary into the extraordinary, and reinforce what was deemed as weak, into being incredibly strong. I learned that a tree which is gnarled, twisted and…

Ruminating… sorry super long post
You’re writing your autobiography. Where do I begin to tell my story? Where does anyone ever begin to tell their stories? Do I esoterically travel back through the recesses of my innermost memories and dark corridors of my mind, peeling back the veil, the thin layers of protection and memory, peering deep into my childhood…
