Thank you for visiting my website. I am excited to share with you more about me. This Website opens the door to get a better understanding of who I really am.
From leaving home at 15 years of age. My childhood of having a good father and no mother to guide me I have lived many lives that I could not have planned. Who I am is more than what I do or don’t do. Who I am is not dependant on the many circumstances of my journey. Who I am is a choice I make daily as I do everything in my power to respond and not react. This has given me more freedom and recognition that I ever thought I would have in 2023.
This is a great honour for which I am grateful. It’s my joy to serve the community and I will continue to strive to serve in whatever way I can.
To be chosen to be a recipient of this award was a great surprise and an even greater honour.
I’m passionate about the diverse multi-cultural society in which I choose to live! To have my many years of contributions recognised in this way is very special indeed and fills me with both pride and gratitude.
My dad instilled into me the belief that ‘people matter’! To do whatever I can each day and to look after myself and share what I have with others. This belief, the encouragement of my friends, and the blessing that comes from helping and serving others have all motivated me to serve my community in whatever way I can.
People do indeed matter and this award I feel, recognises that fact, and therefore serves as a great encouragement to me as I continue to strive to make a real and practical difference in the lives of others within this and the wider community.
Thank you, Dot Haynes OAM.
Being able to make choices that give me a peace of mind and connect with the community is paramount to me. I almost had that taken away and one book that I have available called "Pretending to be" is part of that journey. My second book "People Matter" gives many an insight into Society - Relationships - Religion - Politics. These perspectives may surprise. You can buy them directly from me, through this website and delivered to you.
I hope you take the opportunity to explore more about me and why I do what I do that helps to make me who I really am. I am so privileged to be able to share my stories and care about our humanity.
Welcome to my life. Warm Regards, Dot Haynes.
