No Fence No Limits - Designing...

Kelly Donougher

We plan our futures in 
permanent marker.  
Life uses a red pen. 
From childhood dreams to societal checklists, we're all handed a script for how life is supposed to go. But what happens when that script is ripped away – by fate, by biology, or by a crisis we didn’t expect?  
Kelly Donougher always believed she’d be a mum. It wasn’t just expected – it was planned for and dreamed of. The ‘white picket fence’ was her destiny. Until her body decided otherwise.  
Kelly’s dream collapsed, and she spiralled hard. The gruelling stages of grief, identity loss, and uncertainty ravaged her life. But it also came with an unsuspecting gift: a blank page. 
Eight years later, Kelly stands firmly on the life she built from scratch – a life that defied the rules, broke the mould, and became more fulfilling than she ever imagined. A life by design.  
No Fence, No Limits is a powerful, raw, and uplifting story of what happens when we stop living the lives we’re told to want – and start designing the lives we’re meant to live.

The Eternal Legend Of The...

Avalon Giuliano, Geoffrey Giuliano

"Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you...Only do what your heart tells you. I don't go by the rule book... I lead from the heart, not the head." PRINCESS DIANA, Diana, Princess of Wales, was born July 1, 1961 and was perhaps the most beloved of the British royal family. Diana grew up in Park House, situated on the Sandringham estate, and was educated in England and Switzerland. Diana came to prominence in February 1981 upon her engagement to Prince Charles. The marriage produced two sons, princes William and Harry, who were then respectively second and third in the line of succession to the British throne. Diana was involved with dozens of charities and also raised awareness and advocated ways to help people affected with HIV/AIDS. As we all know Princess Diana died in a horrific car crash in a Paris tunnel on August 31, 1997. She left us that day - but never left our hearts and memory. This is her story in her own words.
