About Me:

Aussie born, settled in Arizona after much travel, living the life of a military spouse, concierge, tour guide, teacher, sponsor of foreign exchange students and currently in HR. I am highly organized, crafty, enjoy writing, creating, decorating, decluttering, improving the spaces around me. Love my pets unconditionally and they return the favor. Love natural silence when I can get it to rejuvenate myself.

My belief and motivator: "no matter how bad things get, it is only temporary".

Get up each day, stretch and make the most of the day!
