Let me introduce myself. I am the 5th in the line of 7 children.
Born (in 1961) and raised in Cape Town, South Africa to parents who regrettably divorced when I was 7 years old.
My mother was a woman of great strength who managed, with hard work, to secure a good education for my siblings and I.
Having attended high school at Star of the Sea Convent in St James, I matriculated in 1978 and am proud to advise that I only “bunked” school once – a half day in my Matric Year.
I then studied at a Secretarial College for 6 months and was immediately employed in the legal field upon finalizing my exams.
I continued working in the legal field for the next 23 years, only having short breaks inbetween to have my first two children in 1983 and 1986. When I had my third child in 1994 I decided that I needed to try my hand at something different so I started my own confectionery business “slaving” away at the stove making batch after batch of fudge which I then marketed the length and breadth of the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
Regrettably Fudge Fairy failed to yield sufficient profit for me to support my family so I returned to work within the legal field.

Whilst working I decided to study at night to become an Estate Agent and in 2003 I obtained the right to use the designation CEA after my name.
I worked with an Agency for a year and then formed my own Close Corporation in 2004 and started to run my own Estate Agency.
I continued successfully with Wilclan Properties CC until 2007 when my business took a nose dive due to loss of several mandates to other agents.

In March 2007 my eldest son asked if I would like to do his books for his business for three months and I continued working for him in the role of Financial, Assets and Administration Manager until the end of March 2018.
I have always “wanted more” out of life.
Forever searching for ways to improve and grow.
I have always had the urge to discover my ancestors and have been doing research over the last year, having managed to get as far back as my great great grandfather who was born in 1829. I aim to go back as far as the 1500’s.

Having a nomadic spirit I am now managing to find the time to travel and discover places.
It is due to modern technology (which I am learning, despite fighting tooth and nail with my children, who are teaching me) that I am able to share my journey with you.
I hope that you will enjoy the journey.
