'Guilt Unplugged: Waking Up From The Lie We Live' is a perfect companion to my first book 'Addiction Unplugged: How To Be Free'.
Guilt and shame are intricately interwoven into addictive behaviours. They are topics that affect us all in one form or another, though they often remain hidden from us. The prompt for me to write the book on guilt is simply down to the fact that it is something never questioned deeply enough, never examined, healed, or brought closure too. Once we do so, we all begin to enjoy the freedom our heart, mind, spirit and will yearns to experience ... just as it does, once we identify and move beyond our various addictive behaviours and dependencies.

By observing Life and observing my Self. There is so much more to discover when we are still, alert and aware. Then the creative writing will naturally emerge and spill out onto the page.

If you feel in every cell of your body that you have a valuable message to share with the world then let the words flow.

It's the opportunity to write from your Soul and the more I allow that to happen, the more I know that I am living and expressing my own truth.

It's not something I have experienced. However, if I begin to find my writing hard going at any stage it's my cue to stop and take a natural break from it. For me, it's usually an indication that the ego, rather than my Soul is trying to do the writing and that never feels right.
