PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"""Through all the writing and rewriting, I became aware that all my troubles, like the bullying, the rejections, the failures, being fired, and the unkind and insensitive words, helped me develop the resilience, toughness, courage, vulnerability, perseverance, and thick skin that were necessary to give me he tools and courage to live a full creative life. I learned that hard times are not bad times. It is how you react to them that makes the difference. They can become roadblocks or the fuel to propel us forward. My cancer diagnosis fourteen years ago is a prime example."" Paul lives with his wife and their little dog in the Beaches area of Toronto. Paul has a small studio where he works as an artist and writer."
