Never Give Up on Love

Mine has been an interesting life. Never a dull moment, as they say. I have written a memoir to share the interesting parts of my life with the world.

One that I hope to share with others that they may find the lessons put before them and grow with each, as I have grown.

I fell in… Continue

Magical things happen when we knit our talents together to help others

You write - I draw. Another speaks and someone else has inventions and ideas. We limit ourselves too often by thinking that we can do everything ourselves. I'm probably the most guilty of all!

How cool is it during this Christmas season that authors, business people, speakers and those who want unique gift ideas can work together to help others less fortunate?

Think outside the box! What you have in your hand is what another needs and visa versa. You can bank on the fact… Continue

By selling online, that’s how. The advent of the ‘online bookshop’ has revolutionised the way publishing works. Now, people don’t just have to buy a hard copy book from a book store – they can download it from an…

I think a lot of people get overwhelmed and confused on how to earn. The best place to start earning is by doing… Continue
