We so often hear people say “Been there, done that, got the T-shirt”. I am living a full and exciting life and have earned a couple of T-shirts myself, but for me it’s not about the T-shirts, it’s about the lessons I learnt and how I use the experience I’ve gained over the years to now live a truly full life.

I started off as a teacher, and then moved into the Corporate world where I gained wonderful experience in Sales, Finance, Leadership, Management, Consulting and Training.

I am presently self-employed and I am very privileged to be associated with Avo as a contract trainer. What a great bunch of people!. I have already learnt a lot from all of you. I think that I would like to stick around!.

So, apart from my work as a Consultant and Trainer, what else make me tick?

I do Art: mainly paintings in water colours, oils and acrylics.

Gardening: I have the ideas and it is really my dear husband and Pat (the best gardener on earth) who do all the hard work. (Delegation is one of my strengths…).

My family and friends: Good conversations, food, wine and stunning holidays.

My Crystals: Yup, I got my qualification as a Crystal Healer last year. I also do Chakra Balancing, Aromatherapy, Hot Stones and Yoga.

Nature: Both my husband and I enjoy the outdoors. We are both qualified Scuba Divers, both summited Kilimanjaro and walked just about all the major trails in SA. We have walked the Fish River Canyon in Namibia a couple of times and spent good times in the Namib desert. We love spending time in the swamps in Botswana. Sooo much to do and so little time!.

Photography: Nature provides such good material, I just keep my finger on the button!.

The following adaption from “You own the Power” really describes me to a T:

I am but one small voice, hoping to rock the world, just as God rocked my world. I am but one little human being, trying, in faith, to show to others the light Spirit showed me. I am but a student, striving to bring to the world the wonderful teachings of my guide. I am merely a mother, grateful beyond words for the miracle of my child, who loves me enough to mother me too. My gratitude is endless, my cup is truly overflowing.”.
