My Story
Suzie Wood
Being Su-ish since I was young, has enable me to be the person I am uniquely created to be.
​
Growing up in the vast red sands of regional Victoria, my world was small. A safe place to take risk and succeed. Dad, mum and two sisters, the family was important and extended family came together regularly.
​
Upon leaving for college, I soon realised that the world was a place to be embraced, encountered and enjoyed. Going to College was easy, I was independent and confident as a teenager and it didn't take long to settle in.
​
I was married young, whilst still at college. Our young married friends were great and we started married life well. I discovered the Christian life and it became an integral part of who I am today.
However, at 24yo I got very sick with Rheumatic Fever, unable to do my normal activities, I put on weight and soon got frustrated with life going soooooo slow, sooo slow, I kept telling my husband to stop running (at a slow walking pace for him). I did keep up with friends and outings, only to come home and sleep, sleep and more sleep. This is still with me today and I manage it, yet, I was never going to let this stop me embracing life, I guess the fear of missing out works in resourceful ways as well.
​
​This soon become a reality, when I had the opportunity to travel visiting family in South America, camping throughout America and hiking in New Zealand (Yes, still to this day I had my afternoon sleeps to keep the shine in my day).
​My approach to life, simply life is meant to be participated in, not watched, I’ve encouraged anyone around me this motto… Live Life.
​
​I have been married for 30 plus years, my husband and I together have raised 4 sons, each with their own gifts and abilities that allow their uniqueness to shine in their everyday life.
​
I have sort to serve our community as a stay-home mum over 23 years through hospitality, long term visitors and committees.
​
It's now time for me to share with others, step out of my home and take yet another risk.....
Exposing who I am to the real world outside of my home...
