Today’s challenge is : ‘We all wear many hats. what are some of yours?’
I’ve worn many hats in my life: daughter, wife, mother; student, civil servant, soldier, translator, company owner, local councillor, editor; friend, colleague, trainer, mentor, traveller, walker, non-resident, explorer; photographer, embroiderer, gardener. Currently I write, give workshops, write a column and speak at events (More about this here). Generally, I hope I’ve been pleasant and helpful wearing all these hats.
A few hats from my life…
More seriously, now I have left the formal workforce and become a freelance writer of novels, short stories, blogs and guest posts, all these parts of my life, hatless or hatted, have contributed to my current ‘hat’ as a writer.
