Life is a wonderful gift and we have been given the ability to make choices in how we live it. I am living mine in Australia as a Christian: an author, artist, teacher, poet, songwriter, speaker, preacher, webmaster, prophetic intercessor, wife and mother; empowered by Jesus, who adds to my talents as the years unfold.

I have always loved writing, even before I knew how to. When I was 12 a family friend said I should publish my work and so I began. I've published poems, letters, songs, articles, and stories in all kinds of places, from newspapers, magazines, online, books byothers and my own.
