Hello everyone! It's great to be here on Steemit, thought I'd introduce myself and say Hi!
Why Am I The Purple Preneur?
That's Easy!!
#1. I LOVE Purple!
I found this awesomely purple vid on YouTube, couldn't resist sharing!
(Disclaimer: I spend 3 days a week being a special needs teacher and we ALL love Pancake Manor songs!!) They're great aren't they?!
#2. I want to help create zillions of Purple Patches!
As you'll notice from my Steemit blog header, I mentioned Purple Patches:
My promise to you is that whenever I find things that are:
- Inspiring
- Road-tested opportunities
- Make me smile
- Could facilitate personal growth
- Could make a difference
I will share them with all my fellow Steemians! I love exploring, researching and finding out about an eclectic mix of subjects and I'll be sharing that too.
More About Me
What Do I Do?
- I already mentioned I teach in a special school for 3 days per week. I work with kids with profound and multiple learning difficulties and spend my time making their days as fun-filled as possible via a multi-sensory curriculum
- I write content for blogs, currently I'm working with a US blog, an Aussie blog and a Swiss blog!
- I dabble with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
And In My Spare Time?
Travel
- I love to travel!
- I've been lucky enough to visit a few places around the globe and I'm fully intending to visit some more.
- I'm currently saving up to go and see the Rugby World Cup in South Africa in 2023!
Diving
h- I have been a scuba diver since I was 17 and been lucky enough to dive the Great Barrier Reef, Red Sea and some of the Caribbean
- My favourite dive so far has been a shark dive in the Bahamas!
- I loved night diving with turtles off Heron Island, on the Barrier Reef too
- I used to love diving in UK waters and have done many wreck dives, but I have to admit, I save my diving for holidays these days! The water is much warmer!!
Nordic Walking
- I've been Nordic Walking for almost a year now and it's fab!
- I live on the coast in West Sussex and the group I belong to has various locations in that area.
- NW UK also have a 3 Day Festival in Purbeck, which I went to last year and have already booked to go again this year!
- I trained up as a walk leader in December 2017
London To Brighton Bike Ride
- I've signed up for the L2B Bike Ride on June 17th 2018 - Yikes!!
- Happily I've persuaded some friends and work colleagues to do it too, so there will be a group of us on the day!
- I'm currently training by doing spinning classes - it's too cold to go out yet! (I'm definitely a fair weather biker!!)
Watching Sport
- As you might have guessed, I love watching Rugby
- I'll happily watch other stuff too, football, the Olympics (I was lucky enough to get tickets for the Olympics in London in 2012)
- I have a complete respect and awe for the super-human feats that sports people achieve!
TV/Movies/Theatre/Books
- I love a good movie or book to get lost into!
- Going to theatre, especially musicals and live music too are both favourites
Proud To Be A Geek!
- I've done a postgrad in E-Learning Design and I am in love with my MacBook!
- I can happily spend many hours playing around with a WordPress website or learning how to use tools to help with my geeky pursuits
- Oh yes and of course, I love the Big Bang Theory!
- My geekiness is currently being satisfied by playing around with a video creator called Content Samurai, in experimentation stage at the moment:
My English Setter
I am ridiculously happy to say that I share my life with a fabulous Field English Setter. He was a rescue from the RSPCA and we have been together 11 years in July! He is completely wonderful!
Variety Is The Spice of Life!
That's just a little taster, I am one of those people who is Jill of all trades and probably master of none!!
I am a great believer in having a go at stuff and if I like it, then I'll continue but if I don't I'll look around for my next adventure. Looking forward to Steeming!

Indeed lots of typing, but mostly replies to people, this by far the fastest way to grow a following.
Since you like to write as well, check out our 45 SBD writing contest.

Wow, you lead a hectic life. I was exhausted just reading what you love to do, lol. I am also a big rugby fan but then again I was born and brought up in South Africa, so it is to be expected. Loved the Purple Song from Pancake Manor. Looking forward to following your posts here on Steemit and hearing about your training for the London to Brighton Bike ride, which should be epic.
