| Introduction | I love life, even when it is difficult. I love people, even when they are dysfunctional. I want to suck the marrow out of every moment. I have a degree in Science (Zoology) that finally became useful when we got our dog, Pokey. I did a diploma in Film/Television studies so I could learn to love photography even more. My husband, Peter, instructed me in the art of journalism, specifically making sure my first sentence would grab people by the throat (something we love to do to each other on many occassions). I am working on a novel, but am my own worst "editing-to-death" enemy. I dream alot. Some of my dreams have come true... |
