Margaret is originally from County Durham but now lives in southwest Scotland and is also a short ferry ride away from Belfast. She worked in law firms in London throughout the 1990’s and first half of the 2000’s, leaving London when the time felt right and set up freelance from home as a self-employed transcriber in 2007. Taking overflow work from small outsourcing companies across the UK, she specialises in multispeaker transcripts covering a range of areas including academic research, education, medical research, science, law and crime, media and disciplinary hearings.

Margaret became interested in The Sue Stone Foundation having watched Sue on The Secret Millionnaire and having determined at 8 years old that she was going to live life on her terms, could identify strongly with the messages of willpower and manifesting what you want by daring to dream. She was diagnosed with a heart condition at 14 and at 18 was told she’d not see 21. Let’s just say, she’s that, plus enough post and packing to get her round the planet and using mainly mind over matter, didn’t require surgery until she was mid-30’s and the problem is completely gone. After a motorcycle accident she was told she may be in a wheelchair by 40, not a chance, she told the surgeon she was going dogsledding in Greenland for her 40th … and guess where she was. She believes if you want something enough, you can make it happen, from owning your perfect home, travelling the world, being able to weather any storm, it is yours for the taking, you only have to reach out and take it.

Margaret imagined her perfect house in her 20s and was in it for around 18 months when the penny dropped that it had actually manifested through hard work and determination so all these things just prove to her that the power of positive thinking is definitely real.

Margaret has relied extensively on humour to remain upbeat and ergo overcome many problems, physical, personal, depression and anxiety and those caused by outside influences but never gives up. She has helped friends and family with similar problems to ‘come out the other side’ drawing from her own life experiences. She is excited and optimistic at becoming part of the SSF family and is looking forward to the next chapter in her life, helping others manifest what they desire and living a fulfilled and happy life.

Margaret recently set up Sunflower Horizons offering tips and guidance on dealing with bereavement and loves creating inspirational posts that she hopes if nothing else will just make you smile.
