| Introduction | This blog was started by me in 2010, a single parent of three boys, then aged 11, 13 and 15 - which meant a perpetually full washing basket at home, and an overflowing trolley at the supermarket checkout. A mother who champions her children to reach for the stars and follow their dreams. A mother who also despairs when her son is gone into the night and she has no idea where he is. An avid reader with a passion for great literature and investigative journalism. An individual on a journey gaining deep awareness of Self, and tripping and stumbling along the way. A believer in the guidance offered by Joseph Campbell: "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are". |
