    About this ebook

    How often have you thought that your life would be better if you could change one thing, or be someone else entirely? If offered a chance to do so, would you take it? There is more going on in the world than the natural eye can see. Misery, temptation, and vices play a major part in forming peoples' paths. This is a story of will and faith, or lack thereof. Everyone has a journey and everyone will be tested… but there is always a price to pay.

      GOING TO A PARTY with Alzheimer’s

      Jul 2, 2020

      It is a Saturday evening. I am getting ready to go to a party. I am not looking forward to it, though it is hard to explain why. I can see the tremor of my fingers, as I apply my make-up. I worry that my lipstick is smudged, or perhaps on my nose in

      Winning Letter

      Aug 4, 2023

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’

      A Sobering Tale

      Jun 30, 2019

      I STARTED DRINKING AT 13. I was a rebellious child, always up to no good, wagging school constantly to smoke weed in the park. When I was given the opportunity to model at 14, it was a blessing. The industry instilled in me a responsibility — it was

      WINNING LETTER Think before you get divorced, a family member said. A woman of your age (about 54 at the time) will battle to find a man. Men prefer younger women. I suddenly felt rather insignificant. I was defined by whether I had a man? I had a qu
