One night last winter, as I sat on the floor surveying the piles of notebooks and journals that surrounded me, I turned to John and said, "Good grief... I have enough notes here to write several books!" Without missing a beat, John replied, "Well, isn't it about time you did? You've had so many people suggesting you should write a book. Why don't you just do it?"

 

Before I knew it I was making excuses…..it would take up too much time, I was waiting until I had more time, I’ve got other projects that take priority, I’m not sure that others would find my book interesting enough to want to read, I probably don’t have anything new to add to the literary world, I wouldn’t even know where to start as far as publishing and marketing would be concerned etc. etc.

 

The truth was, that whilst I had already started writing my book several times before, I had never managed to totally commit to complete the project. It was like I had curated all of the elements that I needed to finish my book, but there was always a vital component missing -  the keystone that would bind all of my ideas, experiences and philosophies together…..so was writing and publishing a book going to be one of those things in my life that I always wanted to do, but just never got around to?

Would this dream always remain in the back of my mind, a great big, huge “what if”?

 

Well that just wasn’t going to work for me…so, it was time for a little mindfulness session in my Sanctuary, to clear my head of all my thoughts and distractions and just be present.

Listening to the trickling water in my tiny water feature, I began to focus my thoughts on a super basic question:

 

Was there any constant word or theme that had been evident throughout my life and appeared consistently in my thoughts and writings?

 

And suddenly...... everything just clicked into place!

 

The missing piece of the puzzle revealed itself, and I knew exactly what I needed to do - it was so obvious, like it had been illuminated across my brain in huge neon lights, or written across the sky in smoke by a plane🛩️ - it was just one word....and that’s where I’m going to stop for now, as I’m not quite ready to launch my idea just yet 😉

 

I will tell you though, what started as one word on my whiteboard, rapidly became a myriad of thoughts and ideas that have morphed into one gigantic plan, of which my first book will be the keystone of the entire beautiful project…..a project that I’ve dreamed about in a hundred dreams, and now I’m going to make it happen, I'm so excited!!!! – So stayed tuned, all will start to be revealed soon, and I can’t wait to share this with you.
