A typical day in my life includes\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

meditation to start the day, bible reading, then off to yoga or the gym, followed by business calls and meetings (if any), then some down time to write on one of my developing projects.<\/p>\n

I was born\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

in London, England.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about Arizona\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

is the topography, mountains and general outdoor lifestyle. It promotes being active which is something that is important to me…also the people, I have been blessed to have met amazing souls, which makes it feel like home.<\/p>\n

I’m listening to\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

a number of podcasts: \u2018The Awards Chatter\u2019 \u2018Here\u2019s the Thing- with Alec Baldwin\u2019 \u2018Variety-Strictly Business\u2019 & \u2018Coffee and a Mike.\u2019<\/p>\n

My family\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

are the bedrock to my existence. My beautiful daughter, who inspires me beyond belief, and those who are in England, are still a part of my essence.<\/p>\n

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tyler Perry. All he has accomplished as an entertainer, producer, actor, playwright and author… it\u2019s astounding to me, and the blueprint of what I aspire to.<\/p>\n

One thing I cannot live without\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

God!<\/p>\n

When I was younger, I wanted to be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

a Veterinarian until I had to dissect a rat in school, my stomach had other plans…that was the end of that!<\/p>\n

I’m inspired by\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

ANYBODY WHO REFUSES TO QUIT ON THEIR DREAMS!<\/p>\n

The one person who motivates me is\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

my mum…she is a woman of extreme strength, compassion and wisdom.<\/p>\n

If I could change anything in the world, it would be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

intolerance of others, racism and hate.<\/p>\n

The perfect day would be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

everything I currently do…but returning home by the beach.<\/p>\n

My first job was\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

a store clerk at Woolworth\u2019s; (I was 15 years old at the time and still at school.<\/p>\n

My favorite escape\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

time by the ocean and listening to the waves.<\/p>\n

My life\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

is dedicated to sharing my gifts and insights through writing, acting, producing: \u201cto inspire thought, ignite creative thinking, provoke dialogue.\u201d- MWB<\/p>\n

I’m currently working on\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

taking my One-Man Show into Colleges, Universities and Corporations. I am also developing a TV show.<\/p>\n

Always\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

believe in yourself and honor your calling in life.<\/p>\n

Never\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

subscribe to the beliefs or expectations of others…DO YOU!<\/p>\n

Favorite Quote\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
