Oh did I forget the DH? Well he is poetically speaking, the wind beneath my wings.<\/p>\n<p>Having worked in Advertising-PR and the Development sector for 21 odd years; late 2016, I chose to shift gears by igniting the fire within and chase my dream of writing life&#8217;s anecdotes, for myself and of course for all those of you who would like to stop by and read.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I was a kid, writing has been a passion and elixir to my sometimes parched soul. So here I am, showcasing my musings, some derived from the confetti of magic life has to offer, and some peppered with the challenges that make me stronger and wiser, and some a complete figment of my over-active imagination. Hopefully they will resonate with you.<\/p>\n<p>I authored my first book in July 2017. A much cherished dream come true.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/natashamusing.com\/2017\/09\/dark-days-sunrise-wow-blogadda-mondaymusings\/\">Travel Epiphanies<\/a> is available on Amazon and is a compilation of my twenty-six personal tales of travel, adventure and awakenings. Early 2018 I authored my second book, <strong>April Anecdotes<\/strong>, a collection of twenty-six tales of discovery and joy. It will be available on Amazon soon.<\/p>\n<p>As you stop by to read my blog posts, I would appreciate your suggestions and feedback.
