Having worked in Charity and Politics for most of my adult life I have seen people at their best and worst. I now have two very different roles - I am a systems psychologist (working out how people impact systems and systems impact people) AND because I am addicted to Love, I am a celebrant in my newly adopted home in France.

Sometimes I have found it hard to remember that people are amazing - that hope often beats hate and that magic is where you look for it. To that end, I always dreamed of travelling the world - seeking the ‘pearls’ that top up our ‘happiness tank’ and shine a light on the positive things in the system in which we live. That dream is happening - maybe not as I originally planned - but who cares!

I'm off - The first trip October and November 24 will be in the south of France and in Spain. It's totally subjective - it's totally selfish and it’s totally wonderful!
