It Takes An Accident to Change One's Life.

Time Moved On

My life had changed

New perspective
I was at peace with myself
Looking at my world through rose coloured glasses


As some might say

Maybe they were right
My sense of reality was a tad askew
For a not so sane world around me
But
I liked my new world just the same


I made a career change
I started my own business
Doing something
I enjoyed immensely


Cleaning

For 3 years I cleaned residential homes
Using the most toxic industrial cleaners
On the market at that time


Nevermind the headaches
Constantly tired
Dry chapped skin
Irritated eyes
Sick all of the time

I was happy
My clients were happy
All was good in the world


Until October 2005
That is when my life changed forever



This is how the story goes






Once upon a time not so long ago, a young woman ventured in to a bathroom determined to rid the shower stall of the mould and mildew that seem to get worse each and every visit.

Armed with the most powerful, industrial toxic mould remover, she rolled down her sleeves, donned the face mask and goggles, put on her thick rubber gloves and ventured up the 2 step ladder which was carefully placed inside the shower stall. She started spraying, ready to do battle with the mould, not noticing the cloud being formed above her. She took a breath and realized it hurt a bit. Instinctively, she took a deeper breath …the sheer power of the pain threw her off the ladder and on to the bathroom floor. Looking up, she finally was able to see what had
formed in the upper part of the shower….. A toxic cloud.

Green
