I draw this information from my own personal life experience and the lessons I have learned throughout my life.
I also believe that every problem has a solution. No matter how challenging it might seem to find that solution, it's simply a case of having faith in yourself and never giving up.
I live in Sydney, Australia. I am married with no children.
I am very much a people person and like to make a difference in whatever way I can.
I'm pretty ordinary in my life as far as interests go. I like to read, knit, draw and paint whenever I get a chance. The books I read are mainly motivational books, which have helped me over the years in my own life's journey.
I am also presently studying Life Coaching (by correspondence), which I really enjoy. Although I am still studying, most of what I study I am already putting into action in my daily life. The course itself is really only the official side of becoming a Life Coach. For the most part of it, my gifts of good communication and being able to understand why things in life happen the way they do, has been gained through firsthand experience by me. |
