Where does the time go? Cannot believe it is Friday tomorrow! Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and I hope the weather will be kind to us all.

I realised I was being too ambitious planning on blogging three times a week, so my apologies for not writing a review on Wednesday, promoting the book really is taking so much of my time :)

So am going to continue with some reflections on the wonderful journey that brought me to writing and my new life in Canada.

I felt it was right to go back a few years, so that there is some sort of sequence to my blogging!

In August 1997 when I was 51 I amicably separated from my husband of 30 years. Though amicable, it was, of course, very emotional and sad too, but it was the right path to take and we have remained friends.
 
It was about three years later that I came to a life changing decision, which surprised many people, I decided to sell my house and travel!

I have to say this idea wasn't met with all round approval, people expressed their concerns, when I returned where would I live? Would I have any money left? Wasn't I scared of travelling on my own?

To all of these questions I could only answer with my truth, I just knew that I had to do it, it was as though I was riding the crest of a wave, I felt excited and apprehensive, but deep down was the absolute conviction that this was the right way to go.

I believed that my spiritual guides and angels were urging me to follow my gut instincts, so with that inner belief and trust,  I set off in my Ford Fiesta with three suitcases, a map of Ireland and drove to Fishguard to catch the ferry to Rosslare.

Even now I can feel the thrill and excitement as I waited in line for the cars to begin boarding, I felt so empowered! I just knew that this was the beginning of a wonderful, challenging, thrilling and exciting adventure.

Well I am going to leave it there folks, just wanted to add that I have had a very exciting day, went to the Owl's Nest bookstore here in Calgary, and Michael the owner is going to be reading Scarletina, and if I get the thumbs up I will be doing a book signing there and reading to some little ones.
