Rainbow

PROFILE

I was born in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney in 1947. I was a shy, introverted and insecure
child - although you'd never guess that now that I've discovered the real me lurking
underneath! I have one brother whom I adore. As I grew older I found my strengths in the
oral and written language so learned to express myself by learning as many new words as I
could - and I'm still doing it! There is magic in language.

I have worked for myself for the past 40 years and now work as a medical typist which I
love. I thrive on learning new skills and challenging myself. I see the glass as half full and
like to see the good in people and I am so grateful for the many natural gifts I have been
blessed with. As Rainbow I can reach out and touch so many more people and be touched by
them. I treasure each day as my last and live my life to the fullest extent that I can.

I have two children and two beautiful grandchildren (the twins Aliana and Flynn are now 6
weeks old). I have the most glorious husband Ken who is my rock and soulmate.

I saw an article for Coastal Caring Clowns Inc. in a magazine and it piqued my interest so I
joined. What a great bunch of fun-loving people! I haven't done a great deal of clowning yet
but enjoy myself thoroughly and hope when I retire that I will have lots more time to devote
to this hilarious calling. As an avid reader (of anything) I volunteered to be the librarian as it
gave me access to all the books any time I wanted.

I think what I get most from clowning is the opportunity to let the "little girl" out and just be
free and the sense of camaraderie that is so much a part of CCC.
