I am a middle class girl; from a middle class suburb, with a middle class education and middle class ambition. I have not travelled the globe nor experienced many of the wonderful things this world has to offer. I do not understand the best part of all there is to know, here on this planet, and I certainly do not profess to have a clear understanding of human nature on a psychological; emotional or spiritual level…I struggle just with keeping this body going! I DO HAVE – a journey that unfolds upon itself in enigmatic spiralling ways, with encounters and lessons learned that tie each other into a beautifully painted picture. I am not a wise old lady, who can tell a grand life story, or a person whose story deserves to be told –
I only have my voice… Perhaps my voice can reach into your heart and make it smile for a few brief moments in time.

At times perhaps? I think a lot is nostalgic and a bit too introspective maybe. And at other times – it is the truth of this world that sadness is around each corner – keeping our eyes open for where we can lift it – is a passion…sometimes my brokenness and the brokenness of others worlds filters into the words maybe?
