What feels like a lifetime ago, I left South London and moved to North America with my husband and our young family to establish ourselves across the pond.

Making that permanent move was exciting and incredibly stretching, but so worth it. Travel broadens the mind after all.

Living in a different culture, and learning to adapt helped me to connect quickly with people, which wasn't difficult as I'm a very relational person.

I believe that we all have stories waiting to be told, which is just one of the many reasons why I love to narrate, connect to the story, and bring words on the page alive. 

 

I discovered how much I loved acting when age 5, I was the head of an enormous Chinese dragon in a cultural dance repertoire.  In that split-second moment in the glare of the spotlights, I was transfixed. 

My roles improved through the years, as did the enjoyment and camaraderie of being in a performance and embodying a variety of characters.  

One particular teacher, Ms.White, held me spellbound with her storytelling.

She embraced vintage, wore scarlet red lipstick, styled white blonde hair, and smoked in the store cupboard! She was glamor personified in my 9-year-old opinion and held my rapt attention while reading, but more importantly, she nurtured a passion for stories and self-expression.

I learned to read with zeal, conviction, and a greater connection to the text.

My report card at the end of that year read;

"Judith has a delicious wit, she's vivacious, bubbly, and full of sparkle!"  Gosh, I loved her.

​When not narrating, I enjoy traveling, kayaking, yoga, stage acting in my local theater company, encouraging mischievousness with our grandsons, and discovering new vineyards.
