CURRENT MISSION 'Make your life a mission - not an intermission' (Arnold Glasgow) that's why I try to aim for the stars in the hope of reaching the sky... ABOUT ME I am a mother of 2 (8 and 3) and a teacher in the making, and these two things take up the majority of my time. I love going to the swimming pool, walking in nature, discovering new bookshops (small independent ones, I particularly love), reading, writing, learning about things and ideas I do not know about which could revolutionize our life (such as stuff found on TED), being taken out of my comfort zone (as long as it makes me grow). I have recently started to enjoy cooking and gardening, and have even started to considering container gardening in my backyard. I love travelling, but hate the "commuting" part. I sometimes wish we could be teleported to anywhere on Earth to avoid this dreaded part of travelling in today's world (which, to me, is different from a journey - a journey going at a slower pace and allowing travelers to grow, but that is probably something to discuss in the Philosophy group;) PHILOSOPHY Be yourself and enjoy every minute of this life, no matter how bad life can be sometimes, you do not know it, but it is always for the best. "The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." (W. Churchill)
