The Right Time — Jennifer Crowfoot

You just never know what life's going to throw at you, do you?Despite my initial stress about tumbling through time and the gig I lied my way into, working as a Governess in the late 1880's has turned out to be a blast.Kids, I've discovered to my surprise, aren't devious little flesh-eating Imps. They're actually pretty rad little people who eagerly soak up my outlandish stories of Superheroes and Flying Muscle Cars, like parched sponges. And then ask for more.Who've loved learning how to cook.Who love when I make them Pizzas.Who adore playing Cricket, Rugby League and Softball.Fate, with the help of an ancient mythical Australian creature, gave me the gift of finding my true purpose in life by helping women in their times of need. Giving them a safe house to stay in and just take a breath. A place to get back on their feet. I helped with educating them and giving them a purpose, and a promise of another life outside of living in an abusive marital home.I was also given the blessing of finding true love and my soul mate.And no word of a lie, when we're together we could burn down the world with the sparks of our sexual passion.I'm so in love with my man that even if I could return to my own time, I wouldn't and couldn't leave him.But one morning came news of a tragedy that ripped the sunlight from our world and plunged us all into darkness for a long time.Slowly life improved, and with the return of light came a vow to love, honour and cherish.And later, beautiful babies and a happily-ever-and-forever-after.So, if you ever find yourself standing a hundred-plus-years outside of your comfort zone, instead of gnashing your teeth and crying, 'why me?' just go with it.Because, take it from me, there's plenty of amazing things to experience and if you're very lucky you could snag yourself a sexy af rural man too.
