Secrets
This is where I talk about more personal “stuff” – because we are all so much more than the work that we do from 9 to 5…
On a personal note
I am an avid reader, fish-hugger (compare with “tree-hugger”), scuba diver, sailor, star gazer, storyteller, long-distance walker, puppeteer, ukulele player, writer, classicist, multiplier, starter, and morning person working on being “vegan-ish”.
I love walking barefoot, jumping in puddles, losing myself in a good book, bringing people together, throwing parties, cycling around town in a sundress and a big hat, drinking wine, history, vivid colours, cooking up a storm, the ocean, birdsong, basil, writing, illustrating, walking (not hiking), people-watching, tea, playing with words, paying it forward, growing chillies, making perfume, telling stories and finding sustainable ways to travel the world.
Personal projects currently include:
oral storyteller
Telling wise, witty and wonderful tales to (mostly) adult audiences.

EmailOnDeck: The best way to sign up for stuff without your real email address
My preferred disposable email address provider. Simple, free and it just works.

Literacy first, please
Technology is changing and evolving in leaps and bounds. Tech literacy is touted as essential. But what about being able to read?
