She realised she had to find new waysto support herself and her children. She was a singlemother working in financial services and neededcreative ways to survive. In 2000, she journeyed toIndia where she fell in love with the sounds, sights andcolours. She made a wish upon The Wish-Fulfilling Treefor a perfect life partner – which materialised.
