About Me

I'm a wife, mum, learning facilitator, libertarian, idealistic dreamer, chicken keeper wannabe, vegetable growing try hard, with worse than appalling eyesight.

I'm 35 years of age, but stupidly immature at times.  I have a childish sense of humour and love life.  I appear to view the world through the eyes of a child - rose tinted glasses seem to be the norm for me.  I'm an avid hunter-gatherer of books, particularly of those that inspire me.  I love inspirational quotes and spend much time searching for the exact quote to express my feelings.

I am always searching for something more spiritually.  Faith wise I want to believe in so much, but believe in so little.  I'm always seeking but never find.  One day I hope my questions will find answers.

I'm positive thinking and try to surround myself with people who are good for me.  I am straight talking and opinionated, but kind. Deeply caring, but not one to suffer fools lightly.  I'm fiercely independent and would prefer to struggle alone for hours, than ask for help.  People that rely on others frustrate me.

Family is the most important thing to me. My husband and my children are above all else.  I am content with my simple life - unschooling mother, devoted wife of 14 years, homemaker, and steadfast friend.

I make friends easily, see the best in everyone, and trust too readily.  This has led to tears being shed and my life shattered, but I don't want to change.  I wear my heart on my sleeve, but lack self-confidence at times.  I hate conflict of any sort, but will fiercely fight (with words) for what I believe is right. 

I don't take criticism very well, but I'm working on that.

I have a frustrating (annoying) habit of interrupting people when I feel passionate about something in a conversation.  I'm working on that too.

I'm non-judgemental and respectful, and feel great disappointment when people don't treat me in the same way.  I like to wear different clothes to the norm, but that doesn't make me a horrid person. I get upset when people treat me as much.

I love charity shops.

I enjoy chatting.  I love meeting new people, and forming new friendships.  I find people fascinating.

If I sound like the kind of person you would enjoy chatting to and getting to know, feel free to get in touch with me at Julia@classroomfree.co.uk
