Humans are the same the world over. We all have our hopes and dreams, our joy and despair. Sadly many people just see the differences. The only difference I see is in the poverty and wealth, the possibilities. Lets embrace our sameness and accept each other. We are all people.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist

I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

      Thanks Sherri. At the moment my humanity is running at a low ebb. The football ground at the end of the dog park which is opposite our place is the site of a music festival and as the night goes on the deep boom is becoming louder and more frenzied. I suppose I liked it when I was younger – I wonder. Have a great weekend my friend. ❤
