Follow your heart

However crazy or difficult a decision you feel you have made, may seem to you - follow your heart. Throughout my life, I have sometimes taken the safe route and then regretted it. Robert Frost's poem 'The Road Not Taken' springs to mind. After I had completed my degree, I had two roads open to me - I still wonder whether I should have taken the road less travelled. BUT - there is still time to explore new and varied paths. For all of of us.

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 . .

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.'

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
