A little about me (work in progress) …

Introducing ourselves isn’t always easy. It may be the one thing many writers find a challenge, the most challenging part of writing. Where do we begin? What do people want to know about the person behind writing and art? For that reason, I am going to take my time to finalise how I will introduce myself. It is never a “final chapter” as we are constantly adding to our life’s story and with that how we introduce ourselves to the world.

You may be wondering what “limaje”, the name of my page means, and it is a word I created in honour of 3 my familiars, my companions in life who have been by my side every step of the way. It honours them and is a thank you to them for their unconditional love. They are in honour of my dogs, Lily who is in my life now, Mali who has passed on and Jes who has also passed on. All of these three girls hold a special place in my life not just as companions but my guides, my carers, my helpers and my inspiration.

After many years I know it is time to create a blog space to share my creations, the things I learn, things others might want to learn that I may know about or have researched for the purpose of sharing. Some creative, some academic, some will be a mix of both. As I wade through my pages of years of handwritten notes, I have realised I have been writing for a long time about a great manner of things, and not just the Academic literature that I thought had taken up the bulk of my time. If anything, the opportunity with Monash has fueled my passion to follow my dreams. Monash gave me a career base that has taken on many shapes and forms, many roles and travels, many experiences I would never change. I cannot neglect my start with UTAS where I was shown my potential and the potential of the world. They were my springboard in the 1990’s and some decades later, several degree’s on, amazing career opportunities and, many life experiences added to the book of me I am honoured and proud to be a part of both learning centers (Universities).

This intro is far from finished so I hope you will return to share in the growth …
