Have not been keeping up to date with this Blog, because I have buried myself in writing a Novel with the above title. Am very excited because it is being published at the end of June 2011. I am hoping that readers will not only enjoy the story but find encouragement in it. It will be available from bookshops, via booksellers online and from a dedicated website. I will publish more details and a sample of it shortly.
Do post a comment or a query regarding it if you wish to.

IF YOU HAVE FAITH, PRAY, BUT IF YOU DON’T , THEN
APPEAL TO THE HIGHER ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE
Faith can be a touchy subject
but I do not believe it should be.
If you believe in God,
however dimmed by lack of practice,
I would suggest you to awaken it.
In so doing you awaken your connection
with greater powers than your own.
Most Faiths have a peaceful and spiritual emphasis
which serves to connect us
which serves to connect us
with “our neighbour.”
If you do not have Faith,
then no worries;
just ponder on the infinite scale and wonder
of the order of the universe,
on its power to put your own issues in perspective.
on its power to put your own issues in perspective.
But reflect too on how
when you grasp a good intent and you promote it,
when you grasp a good intent and you promote it,
with passion and in line with your Faith
extraordinarily and coincidentally,
helpful things begin to happen
towards achieving your good intent.

DO THIS TODAY - FOR YOU!
COMMUNE WITH NATURAL BEAUTY!
Being aware of the infinite scale of
natural beauty of our world
is a key part of our sense of our well-being
We can find this in hidden places,
a small garden,
a corner of a park,
along a river bank
or beside a lake,
Watch the birds and animals – and listen.
We can walk past scenes of natural beauty many times
even in our homes or at work.Examples of it can be in pictures hanging on our walls.
Commit to yourself to spend moments each day, taking notice of it, savouring it and being thankful for it.
Feel that pleasant and energising impact on you as you enjoy it!
IDEA FOR THE DAY
Do it - Today!
Find a precious 15 minutes today, even while commuting, walking to work,
or dealing with family issues at home or at work. Then:-
Focus on one thing that is not going right for you.
Think it through, even write it down from all angles.
Decide what you would like to do about it and what should be done first.
Do it! – Today!!

Goals or New Year Resolutions They Either Have The Effective Ingredients Or They Don't!
By early March in any year the truth will have dawned about New Resolutions made ten weeks earlier.
They will by now fallen into one of two groups, cognitively speaking.
In the first group there will be some resolutions long since forgotten. They were never made with any real intent or passion. With these, there will be some that are still lingering in the mind, and still intended, but barely embarked upon.
In the second group, are the more effective ones, the ones already achieved of firmly in the mind to achieve.
There are a number of key components to making resolutions and goals, but one is learning how to write them down in graphic form and in the present tense - as if achieved.
Being able to write down effective goals and resolutions is key to achievement. They become vital affirmations to be repeated daily. This is why the ability to write expressively is so important. Gerry Neale

Is Your New Year's Resolution to Write a Book?
Every New Year's, thousands of aspiring business and self-help authors resolve to make this the year they get their book done. I've heard that 80 percent of people want to write a book-that's a lot of people. But even if that figure is wrong, and, say, 40 percent of people have the goal of writing a book, that's still millions. However, fewer than 300,000 books are published every year in the United States (find more numbers on bookstatistics.com). That means there are a lot of aspiring authors out there who haven't reached their goal.
So if you're one of those folks who want to get the book done in 2010, here are a few thoughts to get you going.
It Will Feel Really Great to Get That Book Done
If you've been thinking about writing a book for a while, then just think of how great it will feel to get it done. Imagine holding a copy in your hand and flipping through the pages. Imagine marketing your book and seeing the orders come in. Keep those images in mind when you write, and use them as a way to stay motivated. And by this time next year, you'll be able to say, "I'm an author," instead of, "I want to write a book."
Authoring a Book Establishes Expertise
One of the best ways to get motivated is to think of the benefits. Along with the personal satisfaction of completing your book, you can leverage it into new and exciting professional opportunities as well. When you write a book, your status as an expert is immediately elevated. Why? Because you wrote the book! This higher level of expertise makes it easier to get booked for speaking engagements, opens up new opportunities for consulting, helps you get more publicity, and as a result of all these, brings in more income.
Write Often
Most people can't write a book in a month or less. Even two months would be really hard. If you can take time away from work and other activities to write your book really fast, then that's great. But most people can't-they have jobs or clients or other things that need to get done. You'll be more likely to get your book done if you devote an hour or so a day on most days to writing. See where you can cut down on other activities, like watching television or checking e-mail or hanging out on Facebook. Make the commitment to write, and then do what you can to make steady progress, even if it's just a page a day. Once you start writing a little every day for a week or so, your writing time will become habitual, and your day won't feel complete without it.
Get Help and Guidance
Especially if you've never written a book before, it will help to have someone there to help you. Save a little money to work with a coach, or join a writing group that will help keep you accountable, motivated, and moving forward. This is a great way to get feedback and work through challenges that come up as you write. And everything is more fun when you do it with someone else.
You Can Write Your Book In 2010!
Not everyone who sets out this New Year to write a book will actually finish it. But if you really want to make it happen, and you're willing to do what it takes to get it done, then I know you'll be one of the few who becomes an author this year!
