Hello dear friend,

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope that you and your loved ones are keeping safe, while enjoying a little summer freedom in the Covid-19 pandemic.

Here in Wales we are still subject to many safety rules. But family and friends all agree that even when these ease we will still be voluntarily sticking to these. I think that we will be in the majority. It is great that the summer is here and we can meet up outside!

I am also enjoying being able to attend services inside a church again. I still tune in online too. But Sundays are 'in person' occasions again. And it's also brilliant to meet and catch up outside with friends after the service.

 

My latest news is that I have had a debut novel accepted for publication by Roundfire Books which is very exciting! It's actually the fourth novel I have written - so I've had lots of practise! But as it will be the first in print it is my debut. Yeah! 

Last time I posted that I had a further non-fiction book accepted for publication this one by Circle Books. It is a prayer guide which shows you how to have a deeper relationship with Christ through talking to Him from your heart and listening for His answers. More details on both of these coming soon.

Meantime, I wish you a safe and happy week in which to count your blessings. So, no matter what circumstances you find yourself in right now, I hope you can try to embrace the gift of life. And if you are in any kind of difficulty say this prayer, or one of your own: Dear Lord, please help me to remember that You are always with me. And that with You I can overcome every test. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen

My book 9 Days to Heaven, How to make everlasting meaning of your life, is a practical guide to joyful living which has already helped many through a crisis in their life.  To see the book trailer click on this link:  http://youtu.be/154luv8KMns

The book is available as a paperback but to buy the e-book on Amazon click on this link:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Days-Heaven-Make-Everlasting-Meaning-ebook/dp/B00AIR8CSC

Stay safe, stay close to God.

May God continue to bless you.

Summer of 2017

^{July 17}

^{Take a New View}

^{It is not the facts it is the way we look at them that shapes our reaction. Do not like something about your life? Change it!}

^How?

^{Take a good long look at yourself and acknowledge your personal contribution to any problem.}

^{Do this, not to make yourself feel bad or in the wrong. But rather, to empower yourself. Because, when you accept personal responsibility you can make life-improving changes.}

^{Though you cannot change, say, another person, you can choose to change yourself.  You do have choices.}

^{And if you decide not to change anything?}

^{Well, even deciding just put up with something is actually a choice. Acknowledging that choice can give you a confidence boost!  And then you will be looking at the facts in a new light.}

Hello dear friend,

I hope you are well and enjoying some sunshine! Just think, we have passed the summer solstice and the days are now getting shorter. Gosh! But, thankfully, most of the summer is still ahead so let's make the most of it, eh. 

As some of you may know already I have been spending the last few months visiting churches promoting my book 9 Days to Heaven, How to make everlasting meaning of your life. I am happy to report that I and the book have been made most welcome. Many thanks to all my new readers for your kind feedback.  

I have a number of new dates lined up and will post details of these soon. 

I also fitted in a visit to London, for a long overdue catch-up with friends. And a trip to Corfu also to stay with friends. I always have a wonderful time on that green and beautiful island. And the weather - apart from a dramatic thunderstorm - was hot and sunny so I got in lots of swimming and walking and enjoyed delicious food al fresco at tavernas. Did you catch the new series of #The Durrells? When I was there the buzz from the visiting cast and crew was still reverberating.  And the talk was of how locals were invited to be in the episodes and what fun they'd had being part of it all.

But now, it is back to work with lots of writing, but that is great too. I hope that you are enjoying your life - whatever you are doing and I wish you a fabulous weekend!

Love and blessings

Teresa
