Heroes
We're all heroes, engaged in our own mythic quests.
About me: Author, illustrator, journalist and screenwriter Lisa Tenzin-Dolma was born in Portsmouth, England. She spent her childhood and teens living in England, Malta, Scotland, Malaysia, and Singapore, which sparked a deep ongoing interest in an exploration of various cultures and philosophies and shaped the course of her life and work.
Lisa won numerous awards for her writing while still in school. She moved to Ireland just after the publication of her first book and worked for an Irish newspaper. Then, on returning to England, she moved around for a few more years before settling in the beautiful Roman and Georgian city of Bath.
Lisa had an early career as a singer/songwriter, and trained in nursing, aromatherapy, Astrological Psychology and counselling. She has worked in haematology as a Medical Laboratory Assistant, and was Director of a large Healing Centre, as well as a clothes and jewellery designer, astrologer, tarot counsellor, proof-reader, journalist, interviewer and illustrator.
In between writing 11 books and bringing up 5 children, Lisa has had over 500 magazine articles published on a wide range of subjects. Her interest in the sciences sparked a study of the principles of quantum physics, cosmology and Chaos theory, which led her to explore the synthesis between the sciences and self-understanding. She is a member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
Her latest book, "Mind & Motivation: The Spirit of Success", is a distillation of Lisa's explorations into the paths to purpose and fulfilment, and how our perception shapes our reality.
Thank you Lisa, for the lovely comment. I am glad to hear you are back online and look forward to hear from you again - how was the London date? Take care of yourself, Alwa xx
