Just a bit about myself before we get started and to give yo
u a bit of a background of where I am coming from. I’ve had a very exciting life, born of British parents at Christmas Island where I remained till I was 9yr old. We then immigrated to Perth, West Aust a family of 4 girls with me as second eldest. I left home at sixteen and a half to do my mothercraft training. I then took off to the UK to discover my roots. From here I travelled with a colleague who I’d trained with, through Europe and parts of Africa. On returning to Oz I went bush, following my elder sister’s example and worked on a cattle station north of Perth and then eventually bought a camper van and travelled around Oz working to support myself. One year I also trekked from Derby to Fitzroy Crossing, WA with a couple of horses before I took off to Asia where I travelled extensively before returning once again to Perth. It was after these many travels, in search of ‘the reason for life’ I eventually found what or should I say who I had been searching for. I gave my life back to the One who created me, through accepting His Son, Jesus. My life was turned up the right way and a new adventure began of which I have never regretted.
I knew immediately I needed more understanding of what I believed and signed up for 3 yrs of Bible studies which stood me in good stead for the years to come. On completing my studies I stepped out in faith and flew off to Malaysia which was my first ministry adventure. I later worked in Hong Kong, China and Thailand before returning to Aust for my youngest sister’s wedding. I then moved to Sydney where I lived for nearly 20 yrs, 15 of those years establishing my own business Cradle 2 Kindy Parenting Solutions.
My first adventure after returning to Australia was to drive across Australia from Sydney to Perth where, in 2016 I took off on my second adventure into Asia then India and Africa all of which you can read about on this blog.
I then came back to the Great South Land returning to Perth where I looked after my Mother who had Dementia which eventually took her life in June 2019. My third adventure Beyond Care started on the 28th of August 2019 where I headed off to ‘spy out the land’ to see where the Lord might lead me for ministry.
Little did I know 2020 would bring a new challenge ‘Covid.’ Having visited friends in Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia I had hoped to return to Phuket in Thailand as a volunteer. This came to a grinding halt as flights were cancelled and lockdowns enforced and so the start of a New Era. During this stage I didn’t want to just sit around and took up part time study at TAFE which started my Time of Learning which lead into Imparting Knowledge and some brand new adventures.
The bold words are headings of new categories separating new adventures. I hope you find them inspiring and entertaining.
Looking forward to following your journey. Keep safe. Praying for you.
Wonderful story Sally. You are a true blessing and an example to look up to.

Thanks Mary,
It’s such a joy to be one of His children and to know I belong to a wonderful family made up of beautiful people from all over the world. People from all nations some whom I have already met and some of whom I’m still to meet. 😉
Sally excuse me If I have to stop whatever i’m doing for a minute to say “meeting you made me believe that there are still God’s angels on earth”. What I learnt about you is that when it comes to helping people especially the disadvantage people, you become tireless, restless, sleepless and selfless. You are very honest and wonderful person and i’m very lucky to have met you. Alpha is saying hello. Stay bless.
Hi Tamba, you are very sweet to say such lovely things. Thank you for your encouragement and love. God willing one day He will fulfil my desire to join you when you visit your family in Sierra Leone. Please give my love to Alpha, I miss our chats 😉 Abundant blessings to you all.
Hi Beautiful Sally with love,
God bless you. The Load is always be your guide. Make the most of moment to moment. Take good care.
thanks for your encouragement Shawnette, God’s richest blessings to you too.
Dear, dear Sally. I am so very blessed to have you in my life. Our friendship spans for more than 30 years. Even if there are long breaks between seeing each other or communicating, we always pick up as if no time had passed at all. Maybe that’s what it will be like in eternity? All I know is that I love you dearly as my friend and sister in Christ and I love and value the long friendship we share. I would love to spend lots of time with you over the coming months before you go on your next adventure. Call me soon to organise xxx
Hi Corinne, I’m looking forward to catching up. Your limb tree has given me such an amazing crop last year and lots more about to ripen for this year. Thanks so much 🙂 Yes friendships like ours just keep on giving and growing. Even when we have had years apart the Lord brings us back together again to catch up and share. Looking forward to our next catch up this year in 2020. I’ll give you a call soon. xxx
