Puzzle Me Complete ... Believer, Mother, Teacher, Writer.

Recently I have been experiencing what I can only call BLESSINGS . When I take a look back at my life 2 to 3 years ago, alot of changes occurred. Back then I was hurting, the tears were flowing, and I could not see the light. Back then I did not think I was ready for change, but now I understand why everything happened. It was for a better tomorrow. I am not the same person I was 3 years ago. Yes I look the same, and love my family and children the same, but I have lived,                                     loved,                                              lost,                                                    learnt and love again .  Change was the hardest part and though I usually shy away from it, when confronted by it, I face it head on!!!! The best part was finally realizing and experiencing a couple of my personal dreams and goals. For those who know me, especially my siblings, know I always wanted to teach children. Even when I was living a year in London I had my

Taking the kids to the beach seemed like a good idea. It was a family outing and apart from heading into a 2 and a half hour drive to get to our destination... we were hyped!! Only when we got there did we find out that we were going to paraglide... and that changed the day entirely. All I can say was... there was a hum of excitement in the air. And after watching the first person go up, not only was a ready to back out... I was very intimidated. If you are afraid of height you definitely cannot do this! Dylan was very eager to go... if given the chance, he would have been the first one up in the air... but he was patient and waited his turn. The conditions had to be perfect... Wind Speed - checked Take off space - checked Excited people - CHECKED  This was Dylan waiting for his turn... once that helmet went on there was no going back. He was also really brave getting on and had the biggest smile on his face when he came back. Seeing his shining smile made the

This year so far has been an adventure and I must say I am enjoying the ride. It is not easy...                      There have been some stretches where I cruised comfortably,                                                               And there have been some unforeseen potholes and bumps along the way... but I have not let that slowed me down. My most recent adventure was experiencing my first School Visit and Book Reading at a local school. Not only was I able to share Dragon Boyz with some very excited students, I also contributed one of my books as a prize for a Literary competition the school is having during the April-May month. Fortunately,  am I presenting at their award ceremony, and I am happy to encourage reading and writing for children for all ages. I must confess I think the most challenging thing for me is breaking into the local market. As much as I know children will enjoy reading Dragon Boyz, making it accessible is key. Therefore, apart from being av

So it really begins... I have heard of many people/authors/writers talking about doing public readings, and though I personally was intimidated by the idea, and worried about seeing how other people would react to my book... I have finally done one. I was fortunate enough to arrange a Book Reading with another local school (Maple Leaf International School), and I can safely say the students' feedback and reactions were amazing. It was a fantastic experience sharing Dragon Boyz with the kids and sparking their interest in reading. Funny enough most of the kids were also interested in hearing about book 2... which I informed was still in the making :) I do hope to keep a good relationship with the school and will definitely take part in their school literary contest to encourage their creative writing.  I am also posting a Thank You note I received from the school. This is definitely a new and exciting chapter in my life and I feel very blessed to be living through this very

With the promotion of my book Dragon Boyz it is only fitting to emphasize how important it is to teach children to read. I believe the best quality time spent is time spent reading with you little ones... your teenagers and even those who think they are too big to do it. Enjoy and Happy Monday everyone.
