Well, My real name is Vikki and I’m a 25 yr old mom of two young children, a daughter aged 3 and a son who is 7 months.  I’m married to Mat, my soulmate, who I met at work 4 years ago.  We were married in 2004, a small civil ceremony with those we love. 

We honeymooned in the Maldives which was absoloutly amazing.  Mat got to see a pufferfish in the wild which is something he always wanted to do.  We also saw sharks, rays, parrot fish, hermit crabs with numbers on and crows.  You just can’t bloody get away from them!  Very exotic!

I enjoy penpalling and have quite a few now.  I do not collect penpals, I have a lot but I do take the time to answer to each and every letter in depth and quickly.  Sometimes I think I write too much!  I hate the kind of penpal who will write a few lines on what the did today and that’s it.  No, I want to be able to get to know my pals!

 I also swap and I do both organized swaps like on swap-bot and swaps with penpals.  I love collecting the little things people send me and I even keep each and every letter sent to me!  Ok, that sounds a bit stalkerish but no, it’s cause I like to remind myself of the little details.

 I’m Pagan by nature and proud of it.  Before you jump around waving a cross at me and shouting devil worshipper :p please read more on the subject! I follow a nature path, not one I’ve come across with others, sort of based on how I reckon the world must have been percieved before the advent of modern religions.  I don’t like the way that things are becoming goddess and ritual focused.  To me there exists mother nature (to put a name to it) and the passage of time.  I celebrate the changing of the seasons and the life renewal process.  I’m not really liking the way things are going in the modern pagan take on things.  I can’t really see people in the stone age running around in the niff and waving incense.  Especially not in this country!

I enjoy many different crafts such as knitting, which my mom-in-law taught me how to do, card making, scrapbooking, beading, softie making, ATC’s and crocheting.   I collect postcards, stamps, coins and mail-art.

 I’m training as a life direction coach and stress consultant, due to qualify soon.  I suffered with severe depression and public panic disorder for over 6 years and want to pass on the information, tips and advice to others in the same situation.  Some people will be able to recover from depression and some people, myelf included, will have the condition for life.  These people have to learn to accept their condition and learn to live with it.  It can be done, I’m living proof and over time the symptoms lessen but I am always prepared for a re-lapse.  I am currently working on a depression workbook designed to help people live with the condition.  It is a work in progress but I am looking for a few people to trial it and it will be going to publish within 3 months.  Pre-orders welcome !

Random facts:  I am scared of spiders, my favorite colours are light pruple, dark pink and rich deep blue, I used to fancy David Bowie (in labarynth!), I now fancy Richard Hammond, my favourite character is Eeyore, I don’t drink herbal tea but drink regular tea in copious quantities and I am not a floral person.
