		<aboutMe>I am a middle-aged woman looking to expand my creativity through writing and to thwart the procrastination demons that plague me constantly.  I have been on a path to living my fullest life for a while now.  I first managed to get a university degree and accounting designation after 40 and then embarked on a health and wellness campaign that has allowed me to shed 95 pounds from my body.  I am continuing on the health and wellness journey and hope to someday shed another thirty pounds but am not obsessed with this goal as I feel fantastic in the body I have now.  

Other creative outlets I enjoy... reading (so much more fun to read novels than accounting text books!!!), knitting, sewing, jewellery making, cooking</aboutMe>
