Without this promise in my life, I cannot go on day by day, as trials and tribulations are given to me, to test my faithfulness, love and integrity. This promise shows me in an instant that I do not walk the walk alone, he is with me in my journey through life, and I need not lean upon my own understanding to survive.
From even unto even he never leaves my side. All that I am, all that I possess, in talents, daily comforts, intellect and understanding, comes from Him. Jesus Christ. So in my daily discourse with you all, whatever I write, It is my intention, my greatest desire, to represent HIM truthfully, so that others may read and be drawn also to the light that keeps burning in my life. NOTE: I am human, and certainly don't live up to all the abovementioned..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been writing since the age of 8 yrs old, which is when my teacher started to encourage me, and make it clear that I had the gift of verse! After High school I let that talent lapse, but in 2000 took it back up with great gusto.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other influences in my life, Besides the Holy Bible, have been the literary masterpiece writings of Shakespeare, Rudyard Kipling, Jane Austen, Louisa May Alcott, Enid Blyton, Charles Dickens, Roald Dahl,Johanna Spyri, LeoTolstoy, Sir Walter Raleigh, Geoffrey Chaucer, Queen Elizabeth 1
Murray Ball ( Footrot Flats) lol and the galah that did Joliffe's outback. Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Erns't Hemingway, Australia's own Andrew Barton ( Banjo) Patterson, Eleyne Mitchell ( The Silver Brumby). Beatrix Potter! What would the literary world be without Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, or Jemima Puddleduck??

A bit of Trivia below...
Please scroll down to the very last link in my bio, where you will find a little Musical treat. Written and performed by John Williamson, one of Australia's Fav Son's ( close friend and confidant to the late Steve Irwin) This song epitomizes the relationship between us, that is, Kiwi's N Aussies. Hence the Kiwi and the Emu..Enjoy :):)
In this Write below, I am honouring someone, someone who is the most dear to me, someone who disappeared from my life for over 30 years, that is now the most part of my new life. He is my darling, my one and only love, my inspiration, my reason to wake up in the morning, and my goodnight everynight....To you sweetheart, I LOVE YOU xxx
That Letter
Closure had rained down upon
a long drawn out wearied existance
finally, the war was over, the dead
were buried, then it came..
like a lightening bolt, zapping
the aluminum frames on windows
resonating through an entire house
yet striking at the heart, of one!
Wild storms could come and go
exciting the nerves, grand prix's
revved the brain, wild Brumbies
made a heart pound, this nearly..
Made it stop!
As suddenly as she had seen him go,
he was back, though the years betwixt,
between, were many, it was like yesterday
accompanied by her thoughts!
Their love had been passionate
unbridled, unstudied,raw energy
forbidden, punished, finally abandoned
left where the wind blew..
years of recollection, wanting, yearning
yet never seeing, or knowing, ill fated
it seemed, destined forever to oblivion
, till a warm breeze
hallowed in a new era!
IT came in a letter,
That Letter!
