In memory of my Dad...

Fiona Robyn kindly published my "small stone: a moment of paying proper attention" on A Handful of Stones today...

Richard Anthony Bacon – 20.10.29 - 16.07.08

Om mane pame hum whispered into his ear, his fingers move within mine...

His eye is open...what does he see?

Waxen skin. My dad is not there. Now I understand the separateness of body and mind.

Big Brave Business Decisions

I took up Judith Morgan's challenge at the end of last year to make a Big Brave Business Decision and booked her to be my business mentor for 2008.

I've worked with Judith before (in the ABC Coaching Gym) and love her style - she describes herself as "the iron fist in the velvet glove"..there's no mucking about with Judith AND you have a good laugh along the way.

Tuesday morning I decided to look at the notebook I'd filled with my "Dreams for 2007" and completely suprised myself by proving that (apart from two on the list) I'd acheived all I dreamed about over five pages in January last year!

Always wanted to write a book?

On the weekend of the 25th – 27th January 2008 in the beautiful surroundings of the East Devon countryside, close to the Jurassic Coast, Mindy Gibbins-Klein (The Book Midwife) in association with Deirdre Dee of Creative Retreats will present the relaxation of a weekend residential workshop where you will learn everything you need to know about writing and publishing successfully AND you will actually start writing on the day. Here's what you will gain:

• Kick-start your book on the day
• Discover your true voice and message
• A proven method to ensure you write 'the right book' in the right way
• Strategies to deal with idea generation and writers block
• Secrets of staying on track
• An understanding of your target market and a plan to reach them
• Information about the publishing industry
• The Book Midwife's recommendations of publishers, partners and integrated marketing strategies
• The motivation, confidence and knowledge to get started and write your best book

Here's what past participants have to say:

“This workshop will enable me to write even better than I thought I could. I got lots of great ideas both from Mindy and from the other participants.
