Hi! I’m Deryn
Deryn is a writer, artist, and lover of nature and travel. Born in the previously named Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from 1820 Settler pioneering stock, she has traveled the world, moving to South Africa and the United Kingdom. She retired from her career as an exploration cartographer and housing manager and now lives in the United States of America. Her rich adventures have enabled her to write about transforming life’s experiences, building resiliency, and combining her Art and love of beauty with these. This enables her to mentor and inspire others who are struggling with the complexities of life.
I write for people who have had a life-changing loss and who want to move on and start over but are struggling with knowing where to begin and letting go of the past and may not realize they are dealing with resistance to change.
People don’t like change and resist the challenges of having to move out of their comfort zone. They need to build faith in a loving God and build resilience to take the risk of letting go of the past to build a new future.
