Transforming Yourself… Living Authentically…Personal Freedom 
That in a nutshell is what this blog is all about. Understanding and initiating the process of change that we go through to express and become the person we truly are. And then how to create a life around the “new you”.
So what do I have to say about this? Over the past 5 years I have changed my life upside down, backwards and forwards and every other possible position that is out there. I left everything I knew behind me and started forward on a completely new and unfamiliar path. And I haven’t looked back since.
This blog is my forum for sharing my journey, what I have learned about change, writing about the joys and the challenges of living authentically and the lessons that come from that, and how to move forward in creating our dreams.
I invite you to share this journey with me and I hope that it can provide you with a little inspiration as well, at the time when it is most needed.

Looking at your picture and thinking about your choices over the past 5 years lead me to this thought about you – you are one of the bravest people I know. Love, Michelle
Thanks Michelle! And you also had an important part to play in your constant encouragement and belief in me
I hope all is well, Love Chrissie
I have just come across your website which doesn’t come as a complete surprise as every corner i seem to turn at the moment has a reference to change which is fantastic, its a sign that change is coming. I’m also reading and seeing a lot about ‘what our role in this life’ and feel i am on a path to truely understanding what that is….. im feeling confused but will just go with the flow and know that the only outsome will be great. Thank you for your website…only just read a small part and i’m hooked already. Bless you!! Michelle
I am glad you are enjoying the site, and more importantly that some of the writing can help you along through your transition
Thank you for reading! Chrissie
Chrissie hi, I love you blog, the imagery and writing. I write along similar lines over at http://www.embark-lovethelifeyoulive.com/
I’ve also been transforming my life, or Life has been transforming me, letting go of the past like a butterfly in that difficult stage in the cocoon. They say the caterpillar literally dissolves and re-forms…I was a professor/yoga teacher/massage therapist now I dont’ identify with any particular role-more with a mission to live life a certain way.
Regards,
Chrissie – You’ve got an amazing story. I love to hear and read about people who are following their dreams and you’re doing a fine job of that! Good luck with your blog and life.
Hi Corinne! Thanks for visiting and your lovely comment. It has been definitely an interesting journey for me.
I hope you continue to visit and enjoy the posts!

I just wanted to say that I love your wnitirg. I admire the imagery and honesty in what you write and it is something that I aspire to do in my own wnitirg. I just find it comforting that I can read such an honest take on a day to day life and still feel like I am reading a novel or fictional narrative. Thank you for making me think about my own life when I read about yours. Never ever stop wnitirg, else I shall have one less comforting element to appreciate.Teresa
