So, here I am. The day has finally arrived. A website. And a blog.

I'm Marian Kerr. I live in New Zealand with my husband and my two cats who I dote on. We each have two adult children (two with partners) and also a wonderful grandson. Family is very important to me and we are pleased our new house has plenty of room for barbeques and sitting on the deck relaxing with our family and our friends. We get a lot of pleasure from our new home and our garden and we are busy putting our own stamp on them. It's lots of work, but very satisfying.

Photography is one of my creative outlets, as is an interest in art and the use of colour. The photos on this site are my own and they give me a great deal of joy.

I run Marian Kerr Consulting Limited which allows me to indulge my two other passions. Through Contemplate Life Coaching I follow my love of people and enjoy seeing people come to understand their own worth and find the power and purpose to live life the way they want to live it and achieve the things they really want to achieve. Through Write With You I pursue my love of words and work with people to help them communicate clearly and effectively in a range of media.

I'll be writing about a variety of ways we can make our lives more fulfilling and sharing ideas that pop up from what is going on around me. I will value your feedback and look forward to getting to know you all better as time goes by.

I've thought for ages about having a website and/or a blog. And I've thought... and I've thought... Then came the time to stop thinking and start doing. So here I am stepping into technology-land and joining the on-line throngs of bloggers.

I'd value your comments and input and look forward to getting to know you better.
