I was born in Wales and grew up in England, but for most of my life I have lived in Spain. Spain captured my heart: I married a Spaniard, my daughter was born in Spain and now my roots have gone down deep in this country. Another main event was when, at the age of 17, God appeared in my life. I realised that He really does exist and that he cares about me. This fact changed the focus of my life completely. After a lot of ups and downs over the years, in this season of my life I can say that my relationship with God is what best defines me and motivates me. It is what moulds my values and my priorities. I am not talking about religion or just a belief in something, but the deepest relationship in my life, that which gives me a sense of purpose and destiny and fills me with joy and peace.
