'Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha' - Tara's Mantra

About Me

What can I say? Actually I really hate talking about myself, it's very narcissistic. I'll start with the basics: I am training to be a Paediatric Nurse, I am into Reiki, check out my Reiki website: www.living-reiki.org.uk. I like art (particularly modern), music (mostly alternative), films, theatre, fashion, books. I love to write, and I have written a novel which I am trying to get published at the moment with the help of 'The New York Literary Agency' (in New York), fingers crossed. I've also written some poetry which I hope I will be able to get together so someone can have a look at it. I like to paint in acrylics, check out my paintings in my pics. At the moment I spend most of my time learning about medical science which is very interesting, and I have a pet skeleton called Burt who helps me out with this.
