Hello to onen hag oll (one and all).
My name is Mark from the westcountry of the British Isles, Kernow (Cornwall) to be precise, very, very rugged and magical Celtic country full of myth, legends and ancient magic.
I was brought up within the borgy bogie balderdash, 3rd generation, father, WT overseer and local and regional assembly, convention organiser. My parents are still both in as well as my older sister and her family.
I was disfellowshipped in April 1995 for anger and swearing.
The journey since has been a tour of magic and mystery, in search of healing and self-belief and empowerment enabling.
I work in community regeneration issues, especially social exclusion and am a full member of independent UK government 'think tank' The Community Action Network (CAN) www.can-online.org.uk
Very interested in expanding networks and connectivity building plus capacity building between all groups suffering the long term effects of social exclusion. I am also a volunteer with the Self Direction Community Project in Cornwall www.selfdirection.org and we have just secured excellent funding for replication of our first class disability awareness website now renowned for one of the best worldwide.
My personal vision is to create and design Sculptured Acoustic Water Gardens for which plans are now moving well along.
Well along in my new journey of self discovery and healing I have already faced directly many recovery issues and continually look forward to regenerating my outlook always more positively and upbeat along the way.
Now single once more at the grand old age of 34 (550), I have one son aged 7.5.
Another of my greatest loves in life is the magical and mysterious Helford River where I was born at the garden of dreams - Trebah, one of the 80 most beautiful gardens worldwide.
Poor but rich inside, I love the university of life and wish to reach out to others to share positiveness and empathy.
Finally, giving everyone here a big friendly smiley kick up the backside.
Keep your chins up folks!!
peace
mark
