She is an Exercise fanatic, having been a PE teacher, and regularly leads exercise classes; one of her main aims being to help people to keep moving as much and for as long as possible.  She believes the value of creative writing - the joy and freedom it emits - is an essential additive to positive thought, not only for performance but also for emotional and spiritual release.
