As a non-fiction writer of self-help, the best thing is knowing my writing will help so many people transform their lives. Sharing my own story of transformation along with my experience and skills will never stop being a joy for me.

100 acre Wood! I used to live that way, so have been to Ashdown Forest and played Pooh Sticks on the old bridge, but to be a part of Pooh and Piglets world would be bliss. I would take my daughter there for walks when she was small and pretend that I was sure I had just see Eeyore or Tigger in the bushes and she would squeal with delight; I guess in a way both she and I have been to their world in one way then.

Not so much a mystery than a romance. I dated the love of my life back in my late teens (the early 80's). He was a handsome Scottish soldier. We had a bit of a falling out (he messed up, but hey, we were young) but through many telephone calls in the middle of the night, made up, with him telling me that he was moving barracks and would be at Waterloo train station on a certain day and time. If I was there then he'd know I had forgiven him, if I wasn't then he'd understand and let me go.
On the way (of course I was going!) my train broke down and I missed him. I called his nan to tell her to let him know (no mobiles back then) but heard nothing, so assumed we had parted ways.
30 years later, I find him online, living in Brooklyn. His nan had never told him and he had always assumed I chose not to turn up. We are now married.

My own journey in rewriting my life story! I was as low as it got when t came to self belief, self confidence and self love. It took me decades of self work to realise I had the power to change and take control of my life story, rather than simply let life happen to me. I decided to train as an NLP coach and clinical hypnotherapist and learn how we create our negative beliefs and how to change them. The Fairy Godmother Mindf*ck birthed from all this.
