My second publication came in the form of another letter to the editor published in 2004.
This article won me a prize and was the editor’s choice.
In 2001 I saw an advertisement asking for parenting stories to be compiled into a book. I submitted a story and was accepted. The book is “Doing our best – New Zealand mothers speak from the heart” by Leanne McKenzie and Gail Thomas.
At the age of 43 I decided that it was finally time for ME! I love and adore my children but suddenly realised they weren’t going to be around home much longer as they were turning 19 and 16. What was I going to do with myself then?
