I'm 53, in advertising sales. Am a single parent of three children all grown up, well almost, youngest is 17.

I like to write, paint when time permits.

Currently I am going through a life change, want to change careers but not sure what, this is causing me some problems.

I enjoy the beauty of my surroundings, live in an incredible part of the world and just need to get some clarity around my work life.

Enjoy being 50 something and all that comes with it, well maybe not all.

I enjoy yoga and working out and actually have to keep fit as I suffer from fybromyalgia and exercise is the only thing that keeps the pain at bay. Along with proper nutrition.
