Creative expression is good for us, it helps us to understand who we are and connects us with others. In addition, by daring to be authentic you pave the way for others to allow their authenticity to come through. Being authentic gives you access to greater wellbeing.
The stories I tell here through my blogs are about the journey of daring to be more authentic. These are stories of healing, recovery and empowerment. I value what I’ve learned on this journey, I call it my Authentic Path.
After a lot of transformative work, I reached a point where I dared to step into the spot-light to not only exhibit my paintings but also to launch my books. Thanks to Carlow Library I had access to a beautiful space to host the visitors who attended my launch and poetry recital.

"The Whisperings of Nature' is a collection of 15 nature inspired poems which have appeal for nature lovers seeking wisdom, comfort and inspiration from the beauty that is found in Nature."
I have found nature poems useful for helping me to switch off from the busy world, allowing me to connect inwards to restore calm. My book is a useful for setting the scene for meditation and it is a nice gift idea for someone who appreciates nature.
Transforming your life is possible at any age, my own journey is a testimony to that. I believe authenticity and wellness are intrinsic to success in all areas of life. It takes courage and passion and they are within you, waiting to for the spark to set them alive. When you read my posts I hope you will get sense of my capacity to help you to succeed with your dreams and goals.
