Capricon
If I am goofy and sarcastic around you it means I am very comfortable with you or want to be, I love cooking in general and usually cook a meal for others even strangers wherever I travel, I never travel out in the dark beyond 8.30 in the night by myself though I have traveled and worked across India in very remote places and the world thinks I am very bold
Snakes, crossing busy roads and drowning
"Retaining my zest and belief for life. Surviving many lives, doing many things, being many people, rising more times than I fell broken and still having a passion for life and a twinkle in my eye. To continue to be a person I can respect and love being. "
Setting up my own company at 22 as a first gen entrepreneur with no mentors and to date still running my business for over 24 years, my first client who believed in me, the birth of my child, starting an orphanage and waiting for six months for the first child to join and its arrival, overcoming depression for good by self-healing, becoming a writer and a poet and performing my poetry in public, raising my child as a single mother, traveling solo to Bhutan for pleasure instead of work, following and powering every dream I ever had and making every one of them come true from self-belief, uncompromising integrity and resilience. Being blessed by the many kindred souls who have come my way just at the right time, the right way and added immense grace to my journey.
Taking a train alone to get married leaving home, a huge wedding reception in my hometown without my family being there by my side, business sabotage by a family member without other family members standing up for me, depression over many years before healing completely, being cheated by my own office staff I mentored and trusted, winning a huge business deal during recession and having no one to clink a glass with to celebrate, domestic abuse both physical and verbal, searching for a safe place to stay in a crisis, raising a child alone, calling for help in the middle of the night in a medical crisis and being told to manage alone, being completely broke helping others and rebuilding life from scratch, closing the orphanage, rebuilding life many times over like nothing happened
"I admire so many people for many, many aspects in them I lack. I admire myself for having walked in broken shoes through crazy journeys continuing to believe in the light. I am extremely grateful for being where I am now. "

Go back in time and choose things differently this time
If I say this is the end, it must be.
My childhood would be in England, my adolescence in Spain, my adult life would be in other parts of Europe, my silver years in the Caribbean
