Living in the beautiful city of Port Lincoln in South Australia, allows for a relaxing lifestyle, with great fishing, wonderful scenery, and places to go - fantastic for tourists as well.
I have recently concluded my studies through Charles Darwin University, in the course Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (Preservice), studying education for Foundation through to Year 7 students.
I have one son, who has embarked on his own chosen career.
Children of all ages, never cease to amaze me with their innocence, willingness to learn, and zest for life. It would be so nice to bottle some of that energy.
I enjoy seeing the spark in their eyes when they hear, recognise and interact with a favourite song, or the joy in stories and being able to bring them to life, or the fun developed out of an activity-craft and games, or making connections/creating new knowledge to learning experiences.
To see the children leave their learning spaces, with their new creations is quite inspiring, knowing they'll be back the following day for more fun, songs, dance, activities and stories (I love stories in rhyme).
My great passions in life include music of many kinds, playing keyboard and piano, opera, cooking, cake decorating and creating works with chocolate and plastic icing, spending time with really good friends, caring for animals - and poetry and verse that has meaning and shows kindness to all.
There are many favourites, and I have included two of my favourites- "The Dash" and "Go Placidly". ((follow the "More" tab above to find the links titled Verse, and Desiderado)). If you click on the web link for "The Dash", the music is beautiful too.
Love life, love that someone special, live for today,

opportunity that comes your way. (Mead, 2014).
