Autorenporträt
After the breakdown of my seventeen-year marriage I became a single mum of three children and the full-time carer of my elderly father. I often dreamed of how much easier my life could be if we only had more money. On Tuesdays I would line up at the local Salvation Army, where I had previously volunteered, to do my grocery shopping. The limit was one bag per person so it was hard to decide what items to choose as I needed to feed us all on a tight budget. After having enough of being on 'struggle street' I took the plunge and started my own cleaning business. Years later and I now have an amazing team of girls working for me. Fortunately, through this experience, I was given the opportunity to view the world in a completely different light. I am so grateful for everything that has happened and look back on earlier days with nothing but pride. I have met some amazing people and made connections that will stay with me forever.
