General:
I am passionate about life and becoming the best I can be (in terms of the depth and richness of my life experiences and any challenges I set for myself along the journey) and helping others achieve the same. I enjoy the fact that there is always more to learn and there are always ways of helping people even better - life is such an exciting journey of discovery! I make a point of surrounding myself with other positive, warm, exciting people - I find it contageous.
I love personal development and have made it my career. I also love reading, my heart leaps for joy when I go on walks in the countryside, I enjoy travel and exploration, I love good veggie food, good wine, good company. I adore spending time with my daughter Sophie who is a constant source of inspiration to me - aren't youngsters so very much 'in the moment' !!! They are so honest and expressive - whether Sophie has just woken up with sheer delight that it is a brand new day or screaming like crazy because she is hungry, it is raw and it is honest - no masks, no pretense at all at her age! Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone kept that sense of wonder, adventure, honesty and tendency to be 'in the moment' all the way through their lives! And isn't life so 'real' when we are living like that!
I believe that success in life starts on the inside - by knowing that you have choice about what you experience, by sending and receiving tons of love, by having loads of gratitude, by paying attention moment by moment, by communicating with self and others effectively, by knowing your magnificent self-worth, by expecting the best, and by connecting with people with positive intention and with a 'can help, can do' attitude. The pinnacle of success in my opinion is living openly and freely as your true magnificent self with certainty that you are perfect in your imperfection.
I have a belief that making the choice to have an amazing life is the best decision anyone can make.
