Living In 'Interesting Times.'

The Universe has been shutting me down since my last post on here.  First my car broke in a way that I couldn't afford to fix - and I loved that car!  Now my mobile has been irrevocably lost.  This would normally have been a disaster, but I feel quite calm about it.  All my 'troubles' are fixable with a bit of cash, and there are those who would love to have my so called 'problems.'

 Recently I met a remarkable lady, Mary Curtis who has written an extraordinary book, 'The Goldfish That Jumped.'

The best way I can describe it is as an antidote to all that going round in circles stuff we do when we leap from frying pan into the fire and back again into the pan.  Mary has used her innate wisdom to escape a world of troubles and now, through her writing, invites us to do the same.

Through her I learnt that my one time mentor in metaphysics, Gill Edwards had died.  Gill was an inspirational teacher and it was through her, if indirectly, I came to be a writer, (that's a story for another time).  I was shocked and saddened at the news of her early death, but it has been a wake-up call for me to stop merely surviving and 'get on with it.'

Thus I am sanguine about the car and the mobile phone, my poorly cat is now considerably better, and I have time, once again to get on with the things like writing more of Book Two of The Enigma Wars series, and completing the wing I began making, (see previous post), and I am grateful to be able to do so.
