Good question.
How are you creative? Yesterday I stood on my enclosed veranda (back porch, patio) I was completely transfixed by the sight of my abundant garden (even after many hot weeks of summer) I watched as the giant sunflowers basked in streams of sunlight. I delighted in the sounds of birds as they busied themselves with…

Amongst nature
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? It would be a greenhouse type building with a high glass atrium. The glass walls will have a UV film on them which prevents harsh sunlight. I will have hundreds of lush plants, some hanging in macrame hangers and pots, others…

Staying on track.
What are your biggest challenges? My biggest challenge is me. I’m like a bull out of a gate, charging forth on some dopamine quest. I set goals and start out well, but somewhere along the way I lose focus and consistency.

History and Geography
What was your favourite subject in school? It’s a shame that others didn’t take note of what wannabe dictators and fascists did throughout history.

Everyone should know –
What’s something you believe everyone should know. That they are worthy of genuine love and respect (okay not wannabe racist misogynistic fascist dictators – if you know who I mean) Everyone should know that self-love and self-compassion are crucial, especially when we are called to be caregivers for loved ones who may have additional needs.…

A mix of several activities.
What is your favorite form of physical exercise? I love swimming, in fact I think there must have been a mermaid in my family tree. I literally can spend hours swimming, diving and frolicking in the water. I enjoy watching the air bubbles catch the light, as well as the feeling of sunshine and water…

A novel.
What have you been working on? I’ve been working on a memoir. I’ve also been working on creating a better work/life balance.
