I believe life is about learning - from your failures, successes and everything in between. Luckily, I've tried a lot in life and have had plenty of fails and many amazing successes. I buckled down and instead of feeling old at 40, I persisted and prospered as a social media rock star. I've thrived and survived at a 10 year career in politics, founded numerous businesses, worked overseas teaching English, pursued my dream of writing a fiction book (and achieved international sales), and am now living on a beautiful acreage in southeast British Columbia where I teach English once again. I believe life is to be lived.
