Interests include creating sustainable and simple lifestyles, maintaining wellbeing, reconnecting with a love of nature and the local landscape of southern South Australia, walking and listening to bird calls.
Rekindling a love for the written and expressive word, using the imagination, being creative, learning to share my story, has been a delight and a challenge and one which I would not change for anything, as it has helped me find my place and purpose in the world.
Further interests include society and culture, other cultures and indigenous cultures of Australia and the world, understanding social systems, spirituality, faith and religion, alternative educational programs, lifestyles and communities, small groups, personal and spiritual growth, reading and music, finding like-minded people to share conversation and build community.
This book is based on the author’s personal and family experience of mental health, mental illness and wellbeing. Growing up in a sole parent family the author observed and interacted with the public mental health system and felt strongly that change was needed. A more humane and sustainable approach with a higher focus on self-help rather than prescription medications would be the subject of her first book, The Wellbeing Being Revolution; reclaiming our wellbeing.
The author grew up with a love of reading and enjoyed the classics as a teen, including Hemingway, George Orwell, Francis Kafka, Kant and others, and enjoyed lots of intelligent and vigorous conversations with family members over dinner, over current political issues of the day. Trips to classical orchestral events, live drama, ballet and other artistic and social events were warmly appreciated.
The author contributes her unique writing style, and the focus on self-help, to her background of personal and life experience with family mental health, and her way of viewing the world. Also credited are her ancestral genes, her parents and family, her individual personality, faith and spiritual journey, gifts, talents, and passions, and a willingness to challenge the status quo.
The author has enjoyed the privilege of finding her unique purpose which is unfolding at the right pace and in the right context and time.voir moins
