THE PATH OF WORDS
Born in Dublin, there has been a constant thread of writing and storytelling running through my life, writes subscriber Miriam McGuirk. I nurture my ability to tell stories thanks to my Irish heritage.
At 22, I packed a suitcase with a lot of hope, left Dublin, Ireland, and headed for London.
I planned to spend a few weeks soaking up big city life, then head to Paris to pursue a career on stage and become an author. I never made it to France. My author plans were squashed. Instead, I developed a career in the restaurant business, and eventually, I stepped into the health and fitness service industry.
