Autobiography Selected extracts.

Countering the negative elements of life came acts of immense kindness, generosity, loyalty, creative passion, deepest heartfelt love, and quality friendships.

The very best of humanity whose educated minds and lives are based on compassion, truth and integrity; essential life qualities sadly lacking within some members of blood family. Betrayal is the only word.

Writing the final revised pages of this health delayed book and synopsis, I realised the profoundly painful sadness which had cast its darkest shadow over various phases of my life, had given way to a much brighter light.

It is the light of forgiveness for those who failed to understand what constant anguished mental and physical pain truly is.

The detractors, those who caused so much unnecessary pain and additional traumas are forgiven, but are no longer a part of my life, nor will ever be. Forgiveness formed an essential part of my healing process, but subjecting myself to more of the same is not an option.

So many memories of front-line and project-led journalism. So many beautiful loves and lovers. So many positive life achievements to counter the sadness of loss. So much goodness to celebrate while sharing love with those who truly care.

Anguish and painful loss, it seems, is the price paid for living life with an adventurous and boundaryless free spirit.
