    About Me

    Moi: I'm an Indigenous australian studying health work at the present time so i can work with my people and then hopefully in years to come the UN doing humanitarian aid.My long term goal..but i have 4mths of my certificate left so its going well.. I spent the last 13 years of my life a drug addict and have only recently, last year, refocused and found myself. I still struggle a lot with life and a sense of not belonging to this time and place. I have 5 kids in my care and a wonderful partner now who adores me n is my rock on my bad days. Life can either be taken laying down or standing up I say so stand and fight!! I love people and my family n all my pets, yes, theres a lot!!] Music and words and God have bought me safely thus far so now I want to heal and help ohters who cry out. Thanks for reading...have a great day!!! Courtney

      At the age of 11-13 I was raped by my mums brother who is now deceased. It took a lot of years to even begin to think about what had happened let alone talk about it. Today it still is very hard to verbalise what happened as i loathe thinking of it. he ruined my life.
