… I feel like Alice through the looking glass …
When I was younger, much younger, reading books dragged me into alternate universes, mysterious surroundings, dangerous and beautiful liaisons.
A life to live outside of my own.
I grew up in a world where the written word had more effect than the spoken and where writing became my outlet for everything; love, loss, communicating with family members, friends, lovers …. I would sit for hours with a pen in my hand and a journal in the other.
Sometime in the last 3 years I came across a blog, which lead me to another & another…. Her blog opened my eyes to a whole new world of mysterious surroundings and dangerous yet beautiful liaisons but through a different set of eyes and different perspectives. Somewhere along the way I realised that my voice can be heard, that my thoughts and my journey are important and that more than anything my childhood dream of writing something and having others read it was well within my reach ….
So here I am – a 28 year old single mother to an amazingly beautiful gift from God, Makayla-Lee, writing for you all to read.
Some of this is fiction, some of it real life and sometimes it might be a mix of the two. Always loosely based around my life and those who occupy it.
Things I am obsessed with:
Being connected – I await the day that someone invents my little microchip that just gets inserted into my head and connects me to the internet or my “headweb” as I call it (should I copy-write that??) and to my phone. I think I would probably cease to function without my iPhone !!!
Music – As well as being my connection on the go, my iPhone has my top 64g worth of music that changes frequently, I am constantly on the download and always searching for new music to add to the soundtrack of my life
Wine – I could think of nothing better than a nice bottle of Australian Red or White, (depending on the season) sitting out the back of my house with my laptop playing some of my soundtrack and typing away about my life
My friends describe me as reliable, passionate, dedicated, addictive, strong and courageous – I hope this shows through in my writing for you all to see …
Writing frees me – but most importantly I write with the hope that one day someone will read my writing and it will help them in some way. I do not proclaim to have all the answers, I make mistakes daily, I love way too hard and way too easily, I stumble and I have fallen but I am trying to learn through the grace of God and through the inspiration of others.
Please feel free to comment or leave a message but most importantly please enjoy reading as I write my way through my life, my love, my stories about my family, my friends – all told through my eyes and in my words …
.. Welcome to my Wonderland …
Love, Love …
