The Story of My Life-Writing workshop with Lindsey Dawson on 26 April at Inspirit Gallery
Give yourself time out to write about your life. Do it for you - for memories not kept and considered are memories forgotten. All you need for an intriguing and uplifting day is a pen and your personal powerhouse of experience. Lindsey Dawson has been writing stories for and about women since the early ‘80s - that's a lot of experience to bring to the table. She has authored seven books, including two novels, and created three national magazines, including the ever-popular Next, which she invented back in 1991. Her passion now is about helping women realise that there is no such thing as an ordinary life - and that they can be as strong, wise and inspiring as they want to be. Lindsey's been married a (very long!) time, has two daughters, one grand-daughter and one slightly mad cat.
