Hello, Kia Ora, I’m Trish Veltman.

When I was four years old, I had four ambitions.

• Read every book in the world
  
• Learn everything in the world
  
• Become the youngest published author
  
• Travel everywhere in the world        

Now 48 years later I’m beginning to think I may have been a tad over-ambitious.

My revised list:

• Read, learn and travel as much as I can
• Published my novels and poems

I do have a couple of poetry books on my bookshelf that include some of my poems, and I’ve won a few poetry competitions over the years, but 2019 is about making more happen.

And a couple of extras:

• Keep living the best life I can despite disabling health conditions
• Speak up about stuff

Which pretty much sums up my blog – writing, opinions, and managing pain.

If you enjoy what you read, please leave me a like, comment, share or follow.
