Lounging with The Lasses

Sadly we lost this amazing woman recently after her incredible fight against stage 4 bowel cancer. This is our tribute to you Paula from all the lasses in the lounge. Today I am lounging with the very uplifting lady that is Paula Fowler. Paula and I met a long time ago as colleagues at a corporate bank in a fast paced call centre environment. We chat today about how our lives have completely changed directions and how we are now living our reasons for being here. Paula has an open and honest outlook on how she is currently living with stage 4 bowel cancer. The way she talks about the importance of time and how she is carefully making plans to leave legacy being for her family is truly inspirational. From walks on the beach to chats about the afterlife and beyond, come and listen to Paula's story. Find Paula's books and soon to be released final book in the series here - Wizard Beano
