I currently live on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. It is a tourist area and I enjoy that it provides a place for me where I can be in a crowd if I so desire, or enjoy a quiet private-life in the sprawling resort where I live. I am very lucky to have a lovely home base which enables me to stop and re-assess my needs.
I have stepped down after a life-time of study and business activity. The anxiety of business responsibilities was taking a toll on my health, especially my sleep. I now am pursuing my most genuine self, and am asking how I can best give of myself to the world.
A true artist lays out their wares to the world, in the hope that other people connect with their work in a meaningful way. I am still in the process of discovering my unique form of expression. Every day, I discover new things that bring me joy, and I ask how I can translate that into a form of joy for other people.
It is a frightening thing to lay out your creativity to the world. Let’s face it, people can be quite critical. However, it is not those people that I want my life to bring meaning to. By pursuing my passions, and living a life of creativity and freedom, I hope to be able to maintain my health, find a way to support myself, and find joy in my life.
I live a simple private life. My days of compulsive consumerism and the need to amaze people with my abilities are both behind me now. I seek a quiet space in which to explore my creativity, quality people which I can relate to on a genuine level, and the ability to find a way to make this a sustainable life for me.
