About Me
I write about setting intentions based on what you want to work on but allowing a Higher Power to help you in achieving them, on practical ways to use faith, prayer and a belief in God (Source, Creator) to shape your life and manifest your desires.
I have used the practical goal/intention setting and relying on myself, I have also used the spiritual aspect of life and meditating in the hope of things magically dropping into my lap now until I reached my equilibrium - my balance – and that is to use both. Together they make a winning combination. My desire in sharing all of this is that you find your balance.
Faith, prayer and God are not the exclusive right of the religious - they are available to us all as long as we are open to believing in the availability of a Higher Power. I am not religious but I use the universal power available to guide me and I am happy to call that power God. You must find whatever word works for you.

About Me
I was inspired by a blog I visited called My Own Utopia by Sherry Ann (Sasha) who instead of an About Me page had 100 things about herself. She was at number 21 when I paid a visit. So I thought I would write 100 things about me too in case you care to know more about me
1. I am a mother of 3 children (that’s them on the right)
2. I live in London, England
3. I love the flexibility that working online, working from home and being able to develop passive income brings.
4. In 2005 a back injury made me realise the importance of having more than one income stream.
5. Because I am English you will find an “s” in place of a “z” and “u” where you don’t expect it (for my American cousins)
6. So favorite becomes favourite and realize is actually realise for me – but we can still work through that… just wait till you hear me say niche 
7. Since 2005 I have spent time developing other sources of income.
8. I believe in the power of learning. You wouldn’t walk into a kitchen and expect to be head chef so don’t come online expecting to be successful without learning!
9. In 2008 my aim is to continue to develop and market the businesses I have so that they become profit pulling blog/membershipsites providing a regular 5-6 figure monthly income.
10. By 2012 I want to be financially free – which for me means debt free and enough coming in passively that I don’t have to get out of bed for six months if I didn’t want to!
11. I love food. Which does me no good at all because I spend a lot of time sitting.
12. I’m not a fan of exercise although love walking
13. I’m single at the time of writing this (December 2008)
14. I want to be married in 2009 so I have some work to do which includes getting my arse (ass) off this computer
15. I am a fairly new Christian making a decision in September 2008 to surrender my life to Jesus Christ

17. I am a recovering control freak doing her best to let go
18. I have an internet radio show at BlogTalkRadio and call myself The English Muse

34. In 2000 I completed a course called The Forum by Landmark Education that transformed my life
35. I love soul and reggae (dub) music
36. My daughter is a writer too (not strictly about me but sort of) and went from wanting to study law to wanting to study English at university. Her blog is Home Grown Writing
37. I have been loved by some amazing men and am always blessed when it comes to meeting them. Our paths are going in different directions though so we part but I know my life partner is waiting for me to learn all my lessons so by the time I get to him I will have sorted myself out!
38. I love dancing (can’t believe I got to 38 before I mentioned that one!) and take part in belly dancing. Also love salsa, and of course slow dancing with a great guy to some fantastic reggae!
39. In 2007 I made some really bad choices that affected my finances in 2008 and now I am working towards recovering from that and building a big enough income so money is NEVER a problem again.
40. I learnt at 40 that life begins and I really shouldn’t give a f$*k (I would say the word normally but what with me being a new Christian…!)
41. My challenges in 2008 have helped to make me stronger and I have learnt a lot about other business people who lost everything and came back and became millionaires so its all part of the journey (although I never got to the point of losing everything – but I sold alot!)
42. I grew up believing I was ugly (it’s amazing the rubbish we tell ourselves in our head) and began the journey of loving myself in my 30s. Now in 2008 I am 42 and love myself alot. It shows because the older I get the more attention I get from people who think I am gorgeous (men and women)
43. I am blessed with some great friendships and a great mum (mom) who all supported me through my difficult time and kept giving me money because they believed in who I am and what I will achieve.
44. In my teens I believed I should “speak when I am spoken to” so I said nothing unless someone spoke to me and no one spoke to me because I said nothing!
45. I like order and am wishing I had planned my list so it went through my life history 1 to 100 but that’s the control freak in me and I’m giving her up so it doesn’t matter!
46. There was a period when I needed to be so in control that if I was buying petrol (gas) for my car I would have to buy 10.00 or 10.30 I could never buy 10.48 because it just wasn’t orderly! Glad I gave that craziness up Now I just hit the pump and stop when I feel like it and to hell with whatever figure comes up…… see I do know how to live dangerously!
47. I’m not really a party animal and am more of a homely girl.
48. I love to be hugged. I love giving and receiving them.
49. I do my best to help charities and give
50. I believe we reap what we sew so do my best to treat people wonderfully
51. I am blessed, highly favoured and fabulous (what I tell myself alot!)
51. 2009 is all about getting loads of new experiences and serendipitous discoveries
52. One of my biggest weaknesses is when people piss me off i cut them out of my life. No second chances and no questions. I’ve lost a few people that way! I do my best not to because I believe I reap what I sew but in the moment of pissed-off-ness I act fast and foolishly
53. I’m a scorpion (just to justify number 52!)
54. I was born on 5th November which in the UK is fireworks night. The night some guy called Guy Fawkes tried to blow up royalty. So loads of fireworks are released on the day of my birth and it’s hard for people to forget MY birthday!
55. Growing up people would make jokes about “being born with a bang” and it’s not funny after the 18th year of hearing it!
56. My African American friend Drepenba taught me how not to give a shit about what people thought and I will always be thankful for that because I restricted my life based on what people might think.
57. An ex partner taught me that I was ready to love and get married again because i loved him alot but he was 15 years my senior and ready to travel the world and I have young children.
58. I have an ongoing battle between wanting to be spiritual and acquire wisdom and wanting a big house and car
59. Despite number 58 I gave him up anyway because I knew God hadn’t sent the ACTUAL love of my life to me yet and that was just me holding on to someone I should let go of.
60. I have decided not to have one or the other but to enjoy both.
61. When I talk about acquiring wealth, the fancy car and stuff I do it from a place of knowing these things don’t make me but as just nice things to be enjoyed.
62. I believe the free stuff is of high value and high importance like love, my children/family/friends, my relationship with God
63. The internet offers a great opportunity for anyone ready to do the work to be successful.
64. Stephen Pierce is one of the good guys online if you want to learn about internet marketing and so is Willie Crawford and Mark Hendricks
65. To learn about blogs and being successful with blogs Jack Humphrey is the ONLY man you will ever need and is another great man online

83. My favourite actors are Denzil Washington, Will Smith, John Travolta and Samuel Jackson. Don’t have a favorite female
84. I was always raised to see people not color so will talk to anyone and have dated men from different communities
85. When I meet people I am completely trusting in who they are and what they say
86. I am often called naive for being too trusting!
87. I love being loved and loving someone.
88. I am 5 feet and 10 inches tall which makes it a nightmare for clothes (or used to… now its alot eaiser)
89. I hated my height for years and was always taller than most men but now I celebrate it and wear heels

92. I want to start a trust fund that will help girls with low self esteem love themselves so they don’t miss out on their teenage years thinking they are ugly

94. I believe everyone can succeed if they would only put in the work that’s needed to get there.
95. I refuse to look back and regret anything that has happened in my life because it has all gotten me to this point.
96. In 2009 and beyond I will be dedicating my life to serving God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit
97. I’m a little scared about number 96 !
98. If I could do my time again I would become a travel writer or a porn star
99. I love who I am and am very comfortable in my own skin now.
100. Is this not one of the longest About Me pages you have ever come across. I had fun making this list. Thank you for getting here to the end!
