Here I will tell you more about me!

For those who dont know me, my name is Barb. I was born in Melbourne, Australia,the month of July - making me a Cancerian, and Im 46 years young. Ive always lived in Melbourne, mostly in the Eastern suburbs.  I have 4 children and 2 grandchildren. You will get to know more about my family in the following pages.

I worked as a Disability Instructor, with intellectually disabled adults, doing Day Programs. It can be very challenging and emotionally draining work, but I love it. In November 2005, it was decided that I was unable to perform my duties at work to the standard required, so I was given noticed, and will not be returning.

Im also involved with the local Little Athletics Centre, and this takes up a lot of my 'spare' time. I dont have kids competing, as they are now too old. I've been on several of the Committees at Little Athletics over the last 15 years, and am currently the Centre Secretary.

I have been under the guidance of Commonwealth Rehab. Services (CRS), and am looking into other work or study opportunities.

Hope you enjoy viewing the rest of my site, and getting to know a little about my life, thoughts, and how we are coping with MS.

I enjoy watching most top level sports.  I love Aussie Rules, Swimming, Tennis, Cricket and Athletics.

Although I enjoy watching most top level sports, Aussie Rules is one of my favorites.  I have followed Essendon all my life, and my kids have followed them too.  I havent been to any games in recent years, but am still a keen supporter.

Here's a list of some of my favorite music:

I enjoy a wide range of music, many songs by many different artists.

My all time favourite singer is 'The King' - Elvis Presley and Ive been a fan since my early teens. I think my favourite concert is 'Aloha from Hawaii' which I remember seeing live on TV. One day I hope to get to America to do the Elvis Tour. Its hard to choose a favorite song from Elvis, but I think mine would be American Trilogy - the slower version.

Other music I really enjoy includes:

Van Morrison - Moondance album

Skyhooks

Cat Stevens

John Farnham

Evanescence

ELO

Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell album

AC/DC

The Eagles

Rod Stewart

A few of my favorite songs are:

The Time of My Life - (Dirty Dancing)

Unchained Melody - (The Righteous Brothers)

Moondance - (Van Morrison)
