It's never too late to make a fresh start ...
You are always only ever one step away from a new life ...
At 55, an established international best-selling author, with sales exceeding
2.2million copies worldwide, and successful corporate speaker, Julie changed direction. She set off to discover who she would become in the next chapter of her life without the man she’d adored for
more than 25 years. Julie's husband Bruce was diagnosed with a terminal, totally unrelated cancer to his first cancer in 2003, losing his fight in 2006.
Chasing more of the life in her life, she quickly fell in love with the sound a zipper made on her suitcase. The thump of a passport stamp became her new music. She read arrival and departure boards at airports like most others read great novels. Conversations with strangers taught her that your best lessons are sometimes found in the least most likely characters, and often, destinations will call you when you're ready for their lessons.
JULIE SHARES HER EXPERIENCES AND THE LESSONS LEARNED
There was that time she nearly spent all of her children's inheritance in just one hotel booking in Paris! Another time she was offered 10 camels to marry a handsome Bedouin, in Morocco! Serendipity seemed to be involved when she got lost in the oldest Medina in the world but found herself at the steps of a palace that she had always wanted to stay. There was also the time she stalled the carpet seller's advances in the bazaar, in Istanbul, teaching the seller one of the greatest lessons her travels had already taught her.
Julie's solo woman travel experiences have now taken her across several continents.
Exploring the world, while at the same time exploring her capacity to embrace change and be brave, Julie explored writing memoir and fiction, photography, and painting. The result is her heart-warming debut novel, ‘Seagulls on the Ganges’ - a fictionalized account of her own love story, and the journey she traveled after loss to reclaim her new self.
