Me in a nutshell? Hmm. Artist, singer, court jester, writer, stutterer and stumbler through life and food enthusiast.

As a shy person, singing and acting were a few of the things that got me out of my shell. Classes and lessons gave me the confidence to perform in front of people. It still frightens me but I make myself do it, whether it's community shows or concerts.

When I'm not scaring myself to death through performing, I like to draw or write a blog about singing and I love baking, reading and philosophising. I adore the author/artist SARK - highly recommend her, she's a real treat and has helped change my perspective on things going on inside. She is an uplifter and beam of light, love and hope for others and inspires me to make more efforts to do the same. I wish I had even half her energy.


My struggles? Anxiety - often social but usually situational. Fatigue. Insecurity. I battle with being blamed or accused and can be defensive as a result of an easily wounded ego. I wish egos had no place in my life. I'm a professional procrastinator. Making friends is a challenge, I only make a few good friends and being an introvert, I don't see them as often as I'd like. It's a mystery to me but I am grateful to those who have accepted me into their life.

I figure laying it all down in this sharing space means people won't jump to the conclusion that life is easy for me based on my positive profile in the earlier paragraphs. We all hurt and feel, struggle and stumble, and occasionally fail, and that's what makes us really alive.

That's about it for now. If you got this far, thank you for reading and acknowledging.
