Adelaide...........now

Well its been a while since ive posted, been setteling back into life in my home town of Adelaide and after a couple of rough turns things are looking up! I guess i just needed to find my grove and think this might really be it. I really wasn't prepared for coming back home and expected a lot more of certian things. I guess one does when given the choice to live any where and do anything, I came home.....well nothings perfect and im understanding that, does not mean I accept it but it's positive growth. Its funny how I left to grow but its only now that Im back where i started I truly am growing, or is it understanding!

Well Im back to work on the book..... "My Life in America" and feel like its going in a great direction and i have a little more clarity on where i want to go with it...so many stories to tell. A Celeberity Chef who has pened a few books told me people love to hear stories while flicking the pages of a cook book as it makes them feel a sense of conection with the author.......Hence where im going with the book.......lol

Peace Out.....
