In case you're wondering why I've used Sonic Boom as the name for my blog, let me explain.

During my twenties and early thirties the voice in my head would softly whisper of the longings in my heart.  This was easily crowded out by the voices of my husband and children clamouring for my time and attention.  As I traversed my late thirties and forties rebellious murmurings in my soul joined the heart whispers but I payed attention instead to the demands of my career.  By the time my fifties arrived heart and soul would no longer be silenced and together with my imprisoned spirit screamed so loudly that they broke the sound barriers I had created.  The resulting sonic boom unplugged my ears and opened my mind to the longings deep within me.

I realised that I had lived the first half of my life doing the right things for others and that now I needed to do things right for me.

With the rest of my life ahead of me I vowed to live a life filled with passion.  I swore to do more of the things that filled my heart with joy, lifted my spirit and fed my soul.

So the adventure began...
