Let me introduce you to Debra Rufini, somebody I had the pleasure of meeting recently, when she came to my Aunts house in Portsmouth, for a few glasses of wine on a warm Friday evening. Debra is a local girl, a lady who has achieved much in her life. Currently she is presenting 'The Debra Rufini Show,' for Artist First Radio Network. She is also a published writer and poet; inspirational and talented, Debra is an accomplished artist in her own right!
I already knew, Debra and I had much in common from talking with my Aunt, not least our connection to 'toxic people,' having both been victims ourselves. Debra also has many similar interests, including Ufology and religion, a subject I have always wrestled with, looking for answers at difficult periods in my life. Together with my Aunt, we spent four hours talking about issues close to our hearts, getting to know one another and in my case, sowing the seeds of friendship.
Debra is a wealth of information, wonderful listener and a person I am delighted to introduce to Roaming Brit. I would like to begin by publishing a short biography of her, so readers can understand who this remarkable lady is, what makes her tick and a little about her radio show, life and interests. I hope you will enjoy her contribution and like me become captivated by the generous nature of her personality, wisdom and words of advice; welcome Debra!
About Debra!
My name is Debra Rufini, and I am 47 years old.
I was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire in 1971. I love my city - it's home, and it's all I've ever known. It's near the sea, it's near the town, and it's near beautiful countryside. Portsmouth has everything!
I come from a loving Christian family. My Father is a retired church Minister. However, I have always struggled with grasping the assurance of the love of God. Although I was raised within the Christian faith, where the loving arms of Jesus Christ could not have been wrapped around me any tighter, my occasional doubts provided me with the ability to create such a story as ‘The Artist’s Page’ – inviting people like myself to seek evidence for The Artist.
The Artist's Page is an inspirational short story brought to life through expressive illustration. It tells of an Amazing Artist who has just completed a 'work of love' - a gift for any of the takers, but sadly many of the admirers of His Masterpiece only view the outcome of what lies upon His drawing board, while ignoring His wonderfully creative hands. 'The Artist's Page' sums up the truth behind the creation of all that has been designed before us, irrespective of whether we recognize or accept that truth. This short story is ideal for those spiritually seeking, or spiritually skeptical.
The subject of spiritual abuse is one very close to my heart. Too many times I have been witness to those who have been damaged by believers who claim to love and represent an unconditionally loving Heavenly Father.
The aim of my book is to introduce the reader directly to their loving and protective Creator, irrespective of people who falsely represent Him.
I am the host of The Debra Rufini Show featured on Artist First Radio Network, every second Friday of the month at 5pm (GMT.) My listeners can expect a variety of topics covered, by a variety of guests. Anything goes!
Artist First Radio Network has been broadcasting for twenty two years now. Various hosts cover a wide spectrum of subject matter, including a new show with Dr Phil. There is the Chit-Chat Cafe, which has featured First-Lady Melania Trump as guest. Art, Sport, Better Health and Living are some of the subjects which can be heard on the show.
I would like to see my future in radio. I enjoy hosting the show, where I get to speak with people I wouldn't normally get to speak with! It would, however, be nice to work on another book at some point in the future.
For anyone considering a career in the media, I would say that a passion for people is essential; those you speak with and learn from, and those who listen to your shows.
I have included a couple of youtube video's containing recordings from her radio show, including one of special interest to my readers, an interview with Christie Parker, on the subject of 'toxic people.' Please take a look and of course, as ever let Debra and I know what you think, using the comment box below.
I look forward to hearing from Debra again soon, writing about subjects close to her heart. Roaming Brit has become a unique popular website for many who like me, have lived through the spectre of bullying and finally removed themselves from the 'toxic people' in their lives. This blog is a personal account of my life living in Spain and the UK, those who contribute towards its content, like Debra have made this site the success it is today and I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of those involved. Once again my sincere thanks to Ms Rufini, I look forward to your next entry on Roaming Brit!
