Having read so many self-help books, one would think I would have a better answer than who I am, but actually I am pretty clueless.
I have a law degree and a BA in history, and after working in policy for the government for a while, I have most recently been researching in mental health and Māori health. I am currently completely redefining my career pathway, scary and unknown as this is. This blog is about that journey for me. Keeping track of where I am and where I am going.
I am a mother to two stunning children and am madly in love with my partner who is my anchor in life. I have lived through some not good experiences, but they have all contributed to who I am now, and my life as it is now, so no complaints…though if my friends had thought to bang me on the head a few times to wake me up I would not complain – though would I have listened!!
I live in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, where we are paying our mortgage and getting on with life. I am part Māori and live with depression, though I am the eternal optimist mostly with rose-tinted glasses.
I study buddhism, and try to practice yoga and meditate everyday. I have allergies to what seems like everything, but that would be whinging and not accurate, actually just to most grasses, pollens, and dairy and gluten. The last two are my biggest foes. Though I am increasingly accepting of it. A pity I have such a love affair with a good loaf of bread and some good cheese. But such is life, though I would have expected to have lost some weight through my dietary restrictions…this has not been the case however!!
As much as a few paragraphs of text can describe someone, I guess this is me.
