I had a manic weekend but productive. I became a qualified first aider and bridal wear model. What has that got to do with yoga teacher trainer and helping others get a better life well…..

Me becoming a model… that was not supposed to happen! Circumstances dictated and needs as needs must and Angela received the call from hospital to take advantage of an operation to treat part of her Multiple Sclerosis symptoms. I met Paulina Bielecka at Croydon Enterprise, and she asked if I knew anybody in a wheelchair? – may be one or two dozen! She was fast approaching a dead line for the photo shoot she is was doing for Able Magazine. She wanted to be authentic but had great trouble finding a disabled model to promote her new business inspired by her own difficulties when looking for a wedding dress. The only authentic disable person available known to me available at such short notice was me. It was a challenge – not the posing as a model – I am a natural extravert. The challenge was accepting the disabled label so I could be a suitable replacement. The truth is I needed to sit and use the aids available after the long wait – Angela’s made to measure dress was not made to measure me and had to be adapted to my different size. It will be in July’s Able Magazine but Angela will have her day, I am determined!
