My life seems to have been characterised by sheer quantity. I’ve lived in six countries on three continents and had over forty homes.  I love to do a lot of different things too as you’ll see from my site. 

Having lived and worked in so many countries, cross-cultural adaptation and transition, people and languages are of endless fascination, and In
so many different things, from art, music, growing plants, and writing books to my passion for natural, healthy living, a love for dogs, speaking Chinese, cross -cultural training and helping others!

That sounds amazing, doesn’t it? But I’m not trying to fool anyone.  Along with the good stuff and variety, I’ve also experienced plenty of the tough stuff and I share that side of life with people too because it is just a reality of life and I like to help others.  I’ve experienced numerous traumas and my experience with PTSD led me to write my book, Surviving Trauma, Crisis & Grief and set up the facebook page, SPEAC – Speaking for Parents/People Estranged, Alienated & Cut-off.

That’s where my faith comes in.  At the foundation of my life and all I do is my belief in Jesus Christ that began when I was 20 years old.  My Christian faith has seen me through the hardest of times and given meaning, purpose and direction.  It is a constant I wouldn’t change for anything or anyone.
