For our souls - an excellent book
I would like to share something with you. Recently I was in frightened state of mind and a friend suggested I read this ...
I was blown away by how much this helped me. I feel stronger and more able to cope, because I now better understand how we function as humans, and I have discovered some pertinent advice about how to look at matters and how to protect myself when the way becomes a little dark.
Usually I don't bother much with 'self-help' books (there are exceptions, of course!) but this isn't so much about self-help as it is about understanding. We are ever seeking energy as souls in order to function and this tells us how it works and how we deal with it.
An eye-opener indeed! A soul opener, actually!
My review posted on Amazon, because I wanted to tell other potential readers to have a look. This book deserves it!
We all have our issues and most of us are afraid to confront them. Whether we are into new age stuff or belong to a formal religion, whether we profess no belief or every belief, we all have our issues.
This book opened my eyes. Not only does it discuss in a logical and readable way the spirit world and the beings inhabiting it, but it’s also to the point about those issues we struggle to deal with. The author logically explains how we are all connected, how we create both our negative and positive environments and inner selves, following it up with practical solutions and advice. This aids our relationships with our spouses, our children and others, explaining how our souls require energy in order to function. Often this energy is negative and we need to teach ourselves how to project and accept only positive energy.
What I took away from this was awareness. I now better understand myself and those around me. I also took away that love heals all, if only we will allow it to.
You need to read this. Please read this. We do not all believe the same, and yet there is so much common ground here, for we are all human and all of us need love in our lives. You do need to read this. Go on, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Justine's Journal #48
52 Weeks 500 Words
This is how it began: Justine (not her real name) decided to write 500 words (or as near as), anything goes, per week for 52 weeks. She would then submit it for anonymous posting, via me, her friend. Perhaps a pattern will emerge from her words, but at this stage it’s more an experiment I have agreed to share in. I’ll attempt to draw conclusions at the end of this. Stay tuned if this resonates with you.
Week 48
"Recently I went back and read a few of my old entries; trying to see how they would look in the book we are planning.I must tell you I was really negative when this began. It is as clear as daylight to me now that I have really grown over the weeks that followed those initial entries. Wow. Isn’t it fantastic how we are able to let go of what burdens us and, in doing so, we start moving forward? I have moved forward!In fact, my go-to position now is to write about something positive (for the most part) rather than focus on the negative, and that wasn’t the case in the past. Then I would record the bad, rather than focus on the good. I’m liking the new me. I feel more comfortable in her skin.We are like this, you know.Given a conscious choice, most of us would prefer focusing on the side of us that makes us smile and feel good about ourselves.Unfortunately, it’s in the sub-conscious where the negative tends to swirl and when asked how we are, we blurt out what is wrong with us instead of what is going right. We really are strange creatures.The trick, I believe, is to bring our sub-conscious in line with our conscious selves, so that out automatic response is ever positive. Of course this is the ideal and of course we are human and sometimes fail, but I have found that writing the negative out of my system has really helped. I know I have mentioned before that a journal aids this, that releasing the feelings to paper (or digital) will lessen the impact negative thoughts have, but this is myway of coping.My way is only a suggestion. Do find what works for you.As this session of self-analysis draws to a close (four to go after this one) I begin to see how much it has helped me. I am so glad I have an actual journal under my pillow to continue this, for this is how I now focus my thoughts and feelings. In a way, I’m less impulsive about my reactions as well, for I tend now to consider something from more than one angle before diving into a situation. This has prevented me going off the deep end on more than one occasion.Still, there is a place for impulsive. We cannot always think everything through. But, if we succeed in bringing our sub-conscious in line with our conscious selves, our reactions would insert the positive into impulsivity.Yes, I’m still learning how to do so and the learning won’t end when these journal entries do. We are ever a work in progress, aren’t we? But I’m thinking it will become easier and easier as practice becomes perfect(ish)! Keep smiling! Allow your sunny nature the upper hand as often as you can manage it!"

The blame game in The Dreamer Stones
The Dreamer Stones is now available in paperback!The ebook will be live tomorrow :)
Here's an excerpt for you:
Marcus Campian, Electan of Valaris, sat hunched over his desk, feeling old beyond his years.First it was the Mayor of Galilan, then Farinwood. A coincidence, but no longer so. The mayors of Tetwan, Saswan, Two Town, Winnish, Gasmoor, Barrier, Luan, Actar, Mintor, and Linmoor were all dead. One after the other and still the reports came. The smaller towns, the northern cities. By morning Valaris would be leaderless.By morning he himself could be dead.Now they railed against the Enchanter for his absence. First he was blamed for the disasters, and now that it was known he was offworld, he was blamed for inaction, as a coward, untrustworthy. The man could not win, no matter what he did, what stance he did or did not take, Marcus thought.He heard the raised voices of the crowd on the road, come to protest the murders, demanding justice. Wives and kids were fatherless tonight, they shouted and he could do nothing. The television was full of sensationalist reports, creating more havoc, stirring the populace to what amounted to revolution, and considering they were almost leaderless, who would reason with them? Himself? Before he too succumbed? He did not know what to think, never mind do.His trustworthy companion of many campaigns, Mr Jackson, entered. In his hands, another report. “Moor,” he said, placing the news face down on Marcus’s desk.He moved to the door, but Marcus stopped him.“Stay, MJ. There’s no need to monitor - we know what’s happening.” Marcus sighed, rose, and pointed to a chair. “Sit, old friend, and let us pass this terrible night together.”He turned to a hidden cabinet in the bookshelves behind his desk, drew a bottle of expensive brandy from its dark depths, and poured liberal measures.“You know, I never thought any of this would happen. I heard tell of an old legend that the Enchanter would return, but it wasn’t to be in my lifetime. Peace was good, wasn’t it?”“We only realise what we had when it’s gone. And now no one remembers peace was due to the one they now blame.” MJ sipped at his drink, savouring it. Good brandy.Marcus tossed his back, tasting nothing. “You sound as if you admire the Enchanter.”“I do, and he also frightens me. He has an aura of raw power about him, like he could walk through fire - I suppose he could at that.”“He’s the reason we’re sitting here like this,” Marcus said, refilling his glass.“Maybe, but he’s also the reason there was peace for two thousand years. Do we take that away from him? It’s unfair.”“You’re too much the romantic, my friend.”“Have you seen the Valleur recently? They’re everywhere, doing everything in their power to help those dispossessed and hurting. Good people, Mr Campian. I can’t believe they are the lie others believe the Enchanter to be. How can they think one thing, he another? No, it’s that other who is the lie and someone should come out and say so. The Enchanter needs us behind him and we need to know who the true enemy is.”“For months now there’ve been hints …”“And hints guised himself as Torrullin and did evil in his name. That’s wrong. The father should not now be blamed for the son. It needs to be spelled out, Electan. Someone should go on air and tell our people Tymall is the enemy and his father seeks a way to end it.”“They will still blame Torrullin.”“Will they? Or will they look inside and know how hard it is for a father? Even if the son is evil? I think we don’t give our people enough credit.”Marcus smiled. “You have strong views.”“It needs done.”“He asked that we say little about his son.”“That was then.”Marcus inclined his head. “Maybe you’re right, and maybe we make it worse. Whatever, proactive is better than waiting. Set it up. Full news coverage. I’ll speak to the nation.”
MJ nodded, set his glass down, and hastened to his own office.
