A great deal of rain and therefore water has rolled under the bridge. I have weathered tyrants and tears and I have even asked myself many times what motivates me to carry on...

How easy is it for you to spot the villain...

It is challenging to admit some of my greatest motivations have come from being told I shouldn’t, I couldn’t, and I wouldn’t. No names. Oh, except one particular Lt Colonel in the Royal Engineers... 

How easy is it for you to spot the villain...

Can you not see, yourself, continuing or even starting...

On Writing Matters

The KEY to writing with Sean...

 Jamal, an African-American teenager, gains admission to a  prestigious private school and discovers his talent for writing and also more importantly the KEY to writing with the  help of William Forrester (aka Sean Connery), a reclusive Pulitzer-Prize winning author. (2mins 40 secs of genius)

On the Road with Mamie...

 

This wonderful piece of footage is 29 mins long. I only wish it was longer. Every time I watch it, I feel grateful and blessed, I laugh and I cry. I hope it inspires you as she did for me, to start or continue your journey, 'On Writing'. Thank you Mamie. Much Love.
