Rebekah Campbell
My early memories are of Dad fossicking around in his study writing stories. I was 13 when he entered the New Zealand Sunday newspaper's shorty story competition. I noticed there was a 'high school' category and I mustn't have had anything to do that weekend so I decided to try my hand at crafting an entry.

Along the way, I channelled my inner entrepreneur as an Avon lady, bringing beauty products and smiles to doorsteps. Volunteering was another one of my early passions, still is, and it's amazing how giving back lightens my heart.
Life kept unfolding, and I ended up as a mum of seven. Yes, seven incredible souls who've filled my life with more love and chaos than I could have ever imagined! Life took some unexpected turns, and I became both a widow and a divorcee. That's life's way of making us stronger, I guess.
