Hi, i feel that my life has been a bit of a Roller Coaster but i've come through it all older and a lot wiser. If i can help just one person feel better about themselves and then look at their lives with a clearer view to allow them to find the answer, i'll be satisfied. I beleive we all have the answers to our problems but we just need reassurance and a gentle nudge to follow through our own instincts.If you think i may be able to help give me a go, you've got nothing to lose.X
