I salute you

It started with a gentle nudge but soon took on a life of its own......

These opening words from my new book, Gifts from the Devastation pretty much sum up how I started writing and how the process has evolved since then

I’m delighted to announce that my new book Gifts from the Devastation is now available to pre-order.

A short reflection on the inner journey that many of us feel called to go on at some point in our lives. Although it is impossible to capture and will be a unique experience for each of us, I do believe there are common threads that unite us as human beings.

The sunflower is the Inspiration for the cover of my new book,
Gifts from the Devastation, which is now available to pre-order.
Interesting synchronicities led me to choose it and I wanted to share the story.

I wrote I salute you a couple of years ago as a way to honour and thank all the amazing women I met while going through breast cancer. I share it now to honour all women and to mark the rise of the divine feminine on the planet.

It is hard to believe that it is more than four years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Now every year as October approaches, I am reminded of how lucky I am to be healthy and well. I am also reminded of how shell-shocked I was when the consultant first broke the news.

I owe much to nature. It has been a great teacher to me, particularly during the quiet days of lockdown. As I took time to stop and look around on my daily walk, my body relaxed as it sensed the stillness that is at the heart of everything.

Have you ever felt that the best version of you is just waiting in the wings for their cue to come on stage? For many years I did. I held a very limited view of what was possible for my life, dismissing many long-held dreams that called from deep within. 

I'd never really thought about community or its importance in my life until I got sick. I moved through life unconscious of the environments I was in, the company I kept and the impact it had on me. Now more than ever I value being around like-minded people who lift me up.

I wrote this post just before Covid-19 reached our shores but it is now more relevant than ever. In a time when our world has been turned upside down, having a daily practice can help us get centred and give us some semblance of normality. It has made all the difference to me.

“I trust life.” It was the casual way she said the words that stirred something in me. Long after our conversation I was still thinking about them. I had the strongest sense that I was being given wise advice that I would do well to adopt in my own life.
