It's a story about the light

It began with going blind... about 15 years ago when I was in my early 30's I was driving home one day with my four small children in the car.  The sun was setting, and we were happy.  But as I drove towards the setting sun, the light caught my eyes, and for a moment, it was if the world had completely covered itself in dense white smoke! Startled I pulled the car over shaking with fright.... and I cried.  It was this discovery of cataracts in both my eyes, that stopped me in my tracks, got me thinking about my future.  How could I possibly read to my children if I couldn't see?  How would I see their beautiful faces and watch them grow?  Without a second though, I accepted the realisation; two eye surgeries were arranged and a wake up slap from karma.  

​

It was this moment, that made me consider my gifts- and my abilities.  I believed that I was given a message - I was being told to use my creativity - or else! That deeply strong message,  coupled with the desire to be a creative role model to my children, set in motion my creative Arts practise. 

Fast forward to today, and I'm living the creative life I was destined to have.
