    • About Me

      I am a 29 year old receptionist and admin clerk. I was a housewife for 2 years. Prior to that, I was studying physiotherapy, but my severe endometriosis has prevented me from completing my studies. My husband is currently working in Canada. Being apart is very difficut. I hope to join him, but wish to secure employment there to do so. I am a christian, and my faith in God gives me daily strength to live with my dedilitating endometriosis. I love children, and would be happy to have my own, God-willing. I had my last lap on 30 June. Due for another in 2 months. Trying to stay positive!

    • Interests

      I love cooking and baking. I also enjoy writing, and write poetry and songs for my own pleasure. I used to love cycling, swimming and hiking, but the debilitating pain of endo has severely limited my physical activity over the last 2 years especially. I love children, and hope to have some of my own someday.
