Dear Peter,

Thank you for your reply,

I read Lori Deschene’s article ‘have you been hiding the truth’ and decided to begin writing about the facts of my past with the idea that it may help me better understand who the person is I am today.

I have had a tough past, no doubt like many others, but today I am making the best of what I have and am doing good.

The problem though is I don’t know what it is that I’m truly looking for.

Dear Joe,

Thank you for your reply.

I work at charity riding centre as a yard assistant and instructor, so my skills revolve around equine instruction and stable management. Outside of that I don’t have any other interests.

My work days are very long, both physically and mentally demanding and also a 20 kilometre cycle ride there and back, so am not looking to find anything at all strenuous on my days off.

I find my local library is just too busy and noisy to relax in and the animal shelter is over an hour cycle and train journey away and only has maintenance and gardening work available which I think will be too strenuous. Shop work just isn’t for me.
