About Me

Graced with many years of experience, I now have the ability to say, ‘been there and done that’… well for most everything.

Basically my life has always been a constant search for answers to questions that envelop the 4 main aspect of my life.

•    Mother – it has been a never-ending roller coaster ride with my kids. Usually I am on the search for advice, reassurance and hope that what I am providing for my kids emotionally, physically and mentally is a healthy development and growth in a positive direction. My best advice, just follow your heart as only you know what is best for you and your loved ones.

•    Teacher – as a teacher I do not see the students as sponges, to just soak up everything I give them. Instead I see myself and them as experiencing and learning new things, and exploring new concepts in preparation for their ever changing world. From every walk of life I learn about love, life and relationships. From everything there is something to learn. In other words … ‘As much as I teach… I am taught.’

•    Believer in love – my passion for love is something that stems from my family upbringing, as well as the belief in keeping the family together. As a child I was taught to accept, love and commit myself unconditional  to love and understanding. Now I see things differently. Falling in love is easy... it is staying in love that is challenging. However, I do believe that once your partner respect you, wants to spend time with you and understand the true meaning of commitment... then you will experience better days ahead. Keep believing and make sure the decisions you make are the right now for YOU!

•    Writer – my love for writing has always been something I am passionate about. Majoring in Literature, I have not only learnt to admire and love the classical novels written by the Bronte Sisters, Shakespeare and those books centered during the Victorian Era, I have also put pen to paper and tested my skill in writing. People always said left handed people are creative because we operate with the left side of our brain… well consider me left footed too.

In all these four pieces of me join and complete the person I am today. There are no smooth edges as life is not one long visible path, it twist and turns like a meandering road with no one being able to see what is just around the next bend.

This blog is a chance for me to share some things I experience (love, hope, fear, loss, anger, sadness, joy and most importantly faith). It’s an insight to many questions that plague me, creative pieces that inspire me, and tip bits on the real world that affect me.

I hope you enjoy as we embark on this journey.

Sincerely,

Jillian
