Boiling Over
Meeting Donna McCarthy
by Nigel A JAMES



Sometimes life reaches a point above boiling, and, when the handle gets too hot for holding the best thing there is is to take yourself off of the fire and discover the you that's been hiding within you!

And, Donna McCarthy did exactly just that! She was brave! She stood back, took a look, and said a definite goodbye to a life that was bringing her down. And, as she stepped over the line she found herself once again in a world that was hers. And the life that she left with its stress and its dangers is now best where it is, in her past.

And what does this once lawyer now do with all that is hers? The answer is simple! She has allowed her creativity to take wing and fly! And, it isn't only flying, it is soaring as well! Her knitted welsh cardigans in their fine pastel shades have become quite the thing and are now being worn all over the world. But, her life is much more than just needles and wool. This little Welsh dragon is breathing more than one flame!

Donna’s other side is paper. Not only does she write and illustrate children's books, her first full length and life size shockingly blood thirsty book with teeth is about to appear! A must for all lovers of vampires!

And, so it is, that Donna has taken her life from being dangerously hot to a speed that's just bubbling along at just the right pace, and, because she is being herself, there is never too much. Burnout's a thing of the past! Life is now made up of the mountains of Wales, creativity, and a bowl of leek soup every Sunday!
