Overview

Living inside Julie's heart was a broken child. She wore a pair of pyjamas with a hole in the crotch, her basket brimming with the rotting seeds of hurts; seeds of denial and betrayal - seeds of guilt and shame. She had no hope of mending pieces of herself left embedded in situations within the family stories she inherited.A child with a family legacy to confront. A budding child also lived inside Julie's heart. She wore a flower girl's dress. Her basket was full of the seeds of her own story waiting to be planted in her garden; a garden supposed to be tended by her mother with loving care and watered by her father's love.A child with a family legacy to undo.What neither of the children knew was that I, The Temple Woman also lived inside Julie's heart, a part of Julie who was wise, knowing and timeless - a part of themselves they didn't realise they were seeking. If the Lost Temple of Julie was to be found, the two children needed to form a friendship to help each other heal the past and support Julie to find her own story in which they would eventually realise I dwelt.

Author Information

A love of words as a child, spelling them and forming them into sentences using the rules of language fostered a desire to record the world around me in a daily diary. This passion for the written word translated into a teaching career where I delighted in imparting my love of language to primary school students through my 20's.As an adult it was to words I turned when my life demanded understanding of the trauma I remembered I had endured as a child in my family. Now I recorded the world inside me by keeping a daily journal of my thoughts, feelings and insights that came through dreams and contemplation of the trauma. This rich narrative was very different to the one I'd been raised in as a child. It contained a vaster story, one more aligned with my own true nature expressed as my own personal myth.Most days are spent at my desk trawling through my journals delving further into my rich inner narrative to create stories for future books that I hope will inspire others to find their own stories. If I'm not at my desk I can be found somewhere in nature. On the back of the motorbike with my husband or walking our two dogs, preferably at a nearby beach with a dog friendly café to enjoy a coffee after our walk.
