I've pursued many different career paths in my life - from music to the corporate world - none of which brought joy and a sense of purpose.

The past five years writing essays and poetry have been fulfilling - though it doesn't pay the bills.

However, I believe it's never too late to try one's hand at something new. I'm considering joining a new political party here in South Africa whose principles and approach resonate with me. Not as a candidate, but in a support role. It will require moving back to the city, I've sent my intention out into the universe to ask for help.

I learned in my first marriage that if one has a clear vision of what you desire (to sue for divorce) the universe presents you with a path to achieve that.
