Website building, self growth - personal development student, structured skills training to adults, all kinds of creative arts & crafts for gifts & sale, painting oil portraits of my friends, baking & cooking, home decorating, reading self growth books (& tapes etc), very eclectic mix of music genres - depending on moods, gardening & organic veges, vegetarian by the way - I just can't eat anything with a face anymore!
Music
Oh dear! Tony Bennet (even before he was cool again), kd lang, Nancy Wilson, Wayland Jennings, Nana Mouskouri (I warned you, didn't I?), Jimmy Buffet, Frank Sinatra, the opera band, Robbie Williams, Eurythmics, Phil Collins, the polyphonic spree, Joe Cocker, INXS,
I guess, easy listening, light POP, light Opera, through to Baroque - Vivaldi, Bach, etc.
Movies
Not going into details here - family movies, I guess, with a message/moral/philosophy, plus romance, drama, action, subtle comedy - for instance I like the mix of elements in "Interview with a Vampire" .... "Fifth Element" is also a favourite view... "Long Kiss Goodnight" ... and I always like the good guys winning... I steadfastly follow the-Cowboys-in-White-Hats-always-win philosophy.... but then, some grey-areas make life more interesting...
I have a massive library of video movies & documentaries that I buy from video hire places, so I guess I like a pretty wide variety after all.
Television
Tend to watch History Channel, National Geographic, etc etc. avoid the daily news as they just regurgitate verbal diahorreah every day to "beat up" non-news into the day's news.
Books
Oh lordy - I also have a massive library of hard copy books and electronic books, as well as audio training tapes & video training tapes as well.
Mostly self development in some way, developing skills & life skills - although I do also love to read a good yarn.
Started out "adult reading" tastes with Isaac Asimov - still don't trust robots, and Eric Von Daniken etc. which is pretty stimulating stuff for a 13 year old. (But also read my mothers Georgette Heyer romance novels too...)
I agree with Jim Rohn who says you are better off doing without a meal than doing without a book!
My library also has all sorts of "how to" books that I collect for a rainy day when I'm old & looking for something new to learn & do - so I'm stocked up & ready for that eventuality too!
Just can't pass by a good book.

I'm a happy Aussie, but born in Copenhagen, Denmark then lived in Sweden before we immigrated to Australia when I was 8 years old.
This may help explain why I'm such a "Heinz 54" mixture of characteristics & views.
I have worked since my teens and later gained Diplomas etc as an adult in the workplace. I started working in family businesses and then my business Strategic Services was established in 1987 so I'm now shocked to realize I have been an entrepreneur for nearly 30 years!
Training and coaching people has been the most rewarding work so far, although most of my "big" business has come from Sales & Marketing.... so the "self help Guru" in me chooses to help others for free.
That is also why I'm so crazy in love with building my websites. I have found my calling - I love to communicate and websites are the ultimate tool for that!
I have been living the single life for 14 years now, and simply love living life by my own rules for a change.
My only children are "furry kids" - 2 cats & 2 dogs (and now 2 kittens- Yikes)
Creative hobbies includes arts & crafts, painting oil portraits, publishing ebooks, and every handicraft ever created (that's why my next site will be for arts & crafts!)
In my youth I used to also do some modelling part time, and I am NOT enjoying the aging process one little bit. While not a vain person, I'm used to looking in the mirror and seeing a familiar face & body - that I totally took for granted, without any work - what happens to you after 40 is simply a CRIME!! It sucks big time. I think I'll just turn into one of those "grumpy old women" and get it over with!
I have been doodling with some video animation technology for pictures & slides, so on this page you will find a few of them, beginning with: Things we should have known BEFORE we....

NEWSFLASH! It is important for your health to have a really good BELLY LAUGH every day, so here are some short videos to get you rolling on the floor with laughter!
"Hey look at what I did!" ... my attempts at making slide picture videos for fun:
Thank you Lord, for all your gifts Sometimes we see a shooting star that drifts Earth, sun and stars that light the sky All Blessed by God for you and I.
Magnificent creatures in our sky and ocean Amazing flight, and swimming motion Rising sun that lights our mornings Each new sunrise is never boring.
Gentle afternoon casts its shadows Everywhere and to the meadows Even the tiniest flower lifts its face All God's creatures know their place.
We are thankful for each new day Whether we are at work or play God protects all with His love and Spirit It matters not of each person's merit.
Each has its own intricate creation No two alike are exact specifications God's wonders for all to take Depends on you what you will make.
~Joyce Ann Geyer~
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15
Greetings Helene my beautiful friend. May this new moon be the start of a wonderous week for you and your loved ones. Blessings of love and light Dan.xx
When you cant find the light, That got you through the cloudy days, When the stars aint shinin bright, You feel like you've lost you're way, When those candle lights of home, Burn so very far away, Well you got to let your soul shine, Just like my daddy used to say.
