Believe in the power of self.
GUARD A SILVER SIXPENCE
Believe in the power of self.
Once I started to piece the jigsaw of my life together, I knew that I had to get it down on paper. Pure determination drove me to find the help and support I needed to navigate through the world of publishing and agents that I was so unfamiliar with. Now with over a quarter of a million sales, I have finally seen my dream to tell my ancestors' story, become a reality.
I guess my message will always be around the power of hard work and resilience in driving to fulfill your dreams but I now also realise that belief in self is also so powerful.
Guard a Silver Sixpence became a book and now I will strive just as hard take it to the next level..
Wish me well . .

Thoughts for the day.
14th January 2021
It's too easy to allow our imagination to take us down dark roads when we're isolating from the outside world.
I have always had a tendency to overthink; sometimes this can be a positive thing, sometimes not. So my thought today is 'Don't borrow trouble.' On recently re-reading the Anne of Green Gables box set, it was Anne's adopted mother - Marilla Cuthbert who gave this advice to Anne after she had allowed her imagination to take her down a very dark road.
Now when I start to overthink an old memory and take it to a place it doesn't needed to be - I stop myself by recalling Marilla's words
