I’m feeling fabulously fab in my 50th year! 😝🙌🏻

So many things in my life keep me feeling energized and encouraged. I have such a passion for my work life – trust me, there’s never a dull moment working and living with 76 teenage girls!

Nine years ago I was offered the job to help run a hostel boarding house at a high school. I jumped at the opportunity and have totally loved the rollercoaster ride – and challenge - of meeting the needs of the teenagers I work with.
Yes, they keep me on my toes for sure😜, but I relish the time I have with the teenagers - listening and engaging with them, trying to understand the complexity of their world and all the time doing my very best to simply love them, accept them and encourage them.

Doing the Strongest Story course helped me in so many areas of my life. I feel more confident in myself and my ability to accept my own story and the story of those around me – no matter how different they might be from my own.

I love how the course made me recognize my strengths and really play to them in my daily life.

At 50 I’m finally understanding that it’s okay not to have it all together, every minute of every day and it’s okay not to know all the answers or do everything perfectly all the time.

I do my best to live out a balanced life and hold strong to my Christian values. My hope is that as a house mom, I can inspire the teens to truly believe in their worth and be confident in who they are!

I’ve been single for most of my life, but 3 years ago I met an ordinary man who turned out to be an extraordinary man! Barbara Streisand’s lyrics in her song have rung true with me…“I finally found someone that knocks me off my feet.” Kev makes my happiness his priority, and makes me feel like I am more than enough and oh this is a wonderful feeling!

On a final note…I believe in GOD, LOVE and EXERCISE. I love joy, laughter and positivity and I totally claim Psalm 91 – “God is our fortress and our refuge!” ✝️
