Sharing stories and lessons
from a life well lived.
Who am I?
I was born in a small town in Africa. Selukwe, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in 1950 and have since lived and worked in Rhodesia, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, UK, and Australia.
I have lived an amazing full life, however have been no stranger to loss having lived through a war, lost a child at two days old, suffered 5 miscarriages and lost one husbands to a brain tumour and another to advanced melanoma.
I’m sharing my stories to inspire, entertain and perhaps help others going through loss to show them there is light at the end of the tunnel and life certainly does go on.

Parenting – The Pleasure & the Pain
