Adele Colette Pillay trained as Child and Youth Care Worker at Kids Haven, later acquiring counselling skills but it is Coaching that she fell in love with.

She has been a single mother for 33 years and is passionate about the protection of women for the well-being of ALL children.

This is her first book, second edition, with some amendments.

She experienced a lack of belonging as a child and it was this void that allowed her to connect with children living and working on the street in Johannesburg, South Africa. When "Man in the mirror" was released it was these words that sprung out at her "I see the kids in the street with not enough to eat. Who am I, to be blind pretending not to see their needs?"

The poverty that stood out for me was much like my own inner homelessness. The affirmations, a starting point, to feel a measure of worth.
