Ripples of Hope

I am now in the process of finding a literary agent who will represent me and my book, Ripples of Hope. Initial responses have been encouraging. It is just essential to find an agent who is in sympathy with the thesis - that we need to return to the ancient spiritual wisdoms in our lives to heal and save our fragile world.

This clearly has a US as well as a UK market - indeed the US, as in so many things, seems to be there ahead of us!

There is another book on a similar theme due to come out next year, about how the spiritual heart needs awakening if our planet is to be healed. It is by Dr Serge Beddington-Behrens, a transpersonal Psychotherapist and Spiritual Educator, whose website is to be found at www.sergebb.com I await his work with interest.

HUGS!

HUGS!

We all need hugs!

Andrex -of toilet roll fame - have done a survey. We each need according to experts around 8 hugs a day to have a feeling of well-being - 'cos that releases the feel good hormone oxytocin.
But apparently lots of us are missing out! Andrex found that we are missing out on no less than 2808 hugs each, every year, or in total 368 million hugs a day, and this could be damaging our health! (Why Andrex have an interest in this who knows).

10% of us never hug anyone, 55% make do with 2 a week and only 17% are total softies!! Dont know about the rest - this doesnt add up!!

So hugs all around to you all!
