If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
My first thought here was Dwayne the Rock Johnson from any of his films, because that’s the great body taken care of.
Then Spock in Star Trek because he’s very calm, plus Picard because people listen to him.
I’d also need to be Rachel from Friends for the gorgeous hair. Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast from Tiffany’s for the style.
As a writer I admire Gene Roddenberry for visualising a better world on earth even if he couldn’t control the entire universe. That reminds me to do what I can when I can.
When it comes to books, Evan Smoke from the Orphan X books because he remembers to water his Aloe Vera plant.
Mary Poppins as I always try to put too much into my handbags and her’s could take a coat stand. I hate carrying umbrellas too, and foldable ones are too small, so a small handbag capable of taking a golf umbrella would be great, and handy in the sun too.
Prince Harry from Spare as I’d like to be able to make a fortune when I feel like a good moan.
On a serious note, I would like to have my own experiences, rather than reading second hand ones. I would like to be dynamic rather than read about the people that are. And I want to be the star of my own life, and feel that I’ve ultimately put in a good performance. And the Oscar for a life well lived goes to…
Deb Hawken!

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, after fearlessly exploring many ideas, philosophies, and tools, I finally found methods that helped me return my mind to a better normal. One of the things I hated about anxiety was the way people treated me like a fool or a problem, I have two degrees and I'm a (much) retired black belt, my IQ is decent, but I constantly felt like a complete idiot, something that was exacerbated by never feeling like the real me. The girl who could laugh endlessly about the smallest things, and had a real excitement about what life had to offer her. I didn't need anyone else to tell me I wasn't 'right', I knew that better than anyone. My mission now is to support people suffering as I did with a message of support with what they're going through, tools and ideas that might help, and a strong message of hope for the future. At 63, which I am at the time of writing, many people I know are in a rut, yet having beaten anxiety I'm now doing more with my life than I ever did when I was struggling just to get up in the morning, let alone face the day. It's a wonderful feeling - so the main message is that it doesn't matter how long you've been struggling or what age you are, when you beat anxiety you will get an entirely new lease of life - and that's fantastic at any age. On a personal note I'm married to my soul mate, we have 5 cats, and I live in the middle of the UK. I follow a number of fantastic thinkers, as it's important to immerse yourself in healthy thinking as often as you can, I'm a Toastmaster and professional public speaker, and I keep life simple and encourage my clients to do the same, and my friends.
