Doing everything you can, with everything you have
3 weeks ago my lens, my perspective on my world, shifted. I went north to visit my daughter, staying the weekend in Yeppoon – a town I lived in for 15 years where I married, raised my children, built businesses and loved life. What was interestin Continue reading

“Clarity in purpose and strength in focus”
"Since meeting Jacqueline my world has transformed. What I had only dreamed of 10 years ago is now a reality.
