Description
Hi everyone! We hosted many many workawayers helping us out with our kids and our place when we were doing it up, and now it's my turn to get out there and do it myself! Can't wait.
I am a writer and storytelling-for-business coach because I love words and meeting people and learning about how they see and experience the world.
What are the stories we tell ourselves, what are the stories we tell each other... endlessly fascinating, endless opportunities to connect and celebrate and protect this world we live in.
I love:
*simple, seasonal, delicious organic food
*plants and animals in all their incredible forms
*the buildings we humans make in all their extraordinary forms
*dancing, swimming, walking, cycling
*taking photos and writing poetry

More details about your skills
Gardening: we renovated a 1-acre garden at our place over 15 years so I can make new veggie garden, plant and tend veggies, plant/prune roses, shrubs and trees, make flower beds, new lawns etc.
DIY: good at painting and decorating, basic fixing / maintenance jobs
Cooking: love to cook fresh, simple, seasonal food. Mainly veggie but meat/fish too. Lots of Asian influence as I lived in Japan for 2 years and studied there. But love to use European herbs and flavours too.
Kids: we have 3 (21, 19 and 17). I loved teaching and nurturing them. Reading, writing, playing and having fun.
Commercial: I have worked in publishing, pr, marketing and advertising for 30 years. Most recently, as a marketer, and as a storytelling-for-business coach (www.feedthefire.me). I can help you with marketing and social media content strategy as well as copywriting.
Teaching: I can teach you how to speak /write good English, focus on stories but conversation, and fiction and poetry too!
