I am simply a person who, sometimes, has a lot to say and needs a way to say it.  I have a fascination with astrology and a love affair with words. My Chinese animal is a pig, fashionably called a boar but hey – I want to embrace my pigginess, and my element is water. I faithfully kept journals since I was 12 but then somewhere in my early twenties I stopped writing.  My twenty-something decade of life was….well hell, find a twenty year old who has it all figured it out with no regrets and no mistakes and I’ll tip my hat to them. Multiple life-changing events happened to me, those moments where your life forks and there is a definitive ‘before’ and ‘after’ version. I barely wrote anything down.

I fell asleep like Alice in Wonderland, in my own life. Not for me was the magical fall into a fantastical dream world though. When I fell asleep I stopped actively participating in my life and let fear keep me inactive. I have bumped, floundered, floated and sometimes sunk myself through my very own white water experience.  I allowed outside circumstances to dictate who I was and how I behaved.  But changes are on my horizon.  I’m not looking for smooth sailing, I simply want to be the one holding the oars this time.

hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky, let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic…
