I guess this will be one of those "About me" biography...thingies. Over the years I've had over a dozen websites and written numerous versions of a bio about myself. So, here's the current "about me"... as it stands now.


[I am...]
A Writer -- An Artist -- A 'once good' musician. -- A dreamer -- A wisher -- An eco-warrior -- A voice for those who have none -- A giddy child living in an adult's body -- A shifting optimist -- A scarred survivor -- An armour-wearing bitch -- A scary driver -- A trained Hypnotherapist -- A dark poet -- A movie buff -- A hard worker -- A pack rat -- A pagan -- A photographer -- A dancer -- A story-teller -- A practical mind -- A puzzle solver -- A believer...



[If I were...]
If I were a stone, I would be... Strong and sturdy and always in the way

If I were a tree, I would be... In bloom all year round

If I were a bird, I would be... Flying too high to see

If I were an insect, I would be... Hard to catch

If I were a machine, I would be... Unreliable

If I were a tool, I would be... Small and important enough to lose

If I were a fruit, I would be... Sweet but poisonous

If I were a flower, I would be... Extinct

If I were weather, I would be... Gentle rain

If I were a mythical creature, I would be... Enchanted

If I were a musical instrument, I would be... A violin without strings

If I were a profession, I would be... The writings

If I were an animal, I would be... Carnivorous and wild

If I were a color, I would be... flaking silver

If I were a fragrance, I would be... An ocean breeze

If I were an emotion, I would be... Compassion

If I were a state of mind, I would be... Denial

If I were a sound, I would be... The sound of waves lapping gently at the shore

If I were an element, I would be... Dark water

If I were anything in the world, I would be... Freedom





[In Summary]
I have been called talented and I have been called eccentric (I've been called a lot more, but most I wont repeat!)... personally I think I'm a bit of both.

I am neither pessimistic nor optimistic all the time, as I believe like the wind our emotions should continually shift and change so we experience everything we can. I believe in following dreams, taking good advice, accepting your own counsel, apologising when your wrong, learning from your mistakes, treating each day as chance to take another step or right a wrong, and I believe that while we should plan our lives, consider where our future will be we should not "wait" for it to arrive but strive to achieve it and not let our lives, experiences and adventures pass us by because of fear, worry, lack of direction or too much planning.



[In Suggestion]
I do not wish to be 60 looking back at empty memories and lost opportunities. So when you get the chance dance - sing - jump - laugh - cry - make a wish - write a poem - visit a friend - write a letter - stand up to a cause - sit in a sunny field - chase the wind....and never let the pains and sorrows and sadness bring you too far down that you can never get up again.

I've spent most of my life not exactly sure which road I'm on or where I'm even going. Probably due to having my proverbial map in the glove compartment - and when I did take it out and look at it, I spent half the journey with it upside down! But I continue to persist!





[In Darkness]
I have wept the tears of a thousand pains, I have bled myself to say alive, I have begged for death, begged for life, begged to be found.... I have watched the sun and moon collide, seen rivers of blood run through fields of black poppies and the soul-less eyes of the lost, staring through me...





[In Light]
I have seen my future as a bright shining star, walked with dragons, heard butterflies sing, I have fought for my dreams over every rock and obstacle in my path, I have been touched by love, found friends in the most unexpected places, been encouraged by strangers and made a peace with myself.

What more is there to say.
