The Art of Being Too Much

Have you ever been told you were too much? Too loud. Too colourful. Too emotional. Too curious. Too creative. Me too.

This isn't a self-help book. It's a permission slip.

Inside these pages you'll meet kittens rescued from drains, frogs that needed baths, geckos who worked the night shift, guinea pigs with identity crises, glitter-filled floorboards, buttons glued to dining tables, and a woman who once proudly lived in a garden shed called The Colourbond Cottage.

Each story begins the same way — Dear Beautiful Weirdo — because perhaps that's exactly who you are. These funny, heartfelt letters are for anyone who has ever felt like they needed to tone themselves down to fit in.

You'll laugh. You might cry. You'll almost certainly remember the person you were before someone convinced you to become sensible.

So make yourself a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and come colour outside the lines with me.
