Sharing!

I have had another busy week - interesting as well! 

I received the line edited version of my manuscript from Balboa Press ... but as of now have not had time to review it - but I am very keen to.

I have had a visitor; my cousin from interstate has been staying. She is a delightful person ... insightful and bright. From the moment I picked her up at the airport, we hardly stopped talking. We keep in touch by email, and have lengthy phone conversations occasionally, but hadn't caught up in person for nearly three years.

She is a deep thinker like I am, and at thirty - eight, has an inner wisdom, and opinions that I find refreshing -she questions life. And being twenty eight years my junior,gives me a different perspective from that of my own.

While I have learnt so much, and now it is coming together, I still have room to consider the ideas of others. It has been helpful for me at this time - so close to publishing my book, to have had in - depth conversations with Fiona. It made me think how readers will receive my story, and my thinking.

She asked me lots of questions and queried my replies ... she didn't just accept my answers, but gave me her own slant on things. We then discussed the different angles that one could come from, and she offered her own theories. This was beneficial in seeing, that people who read my book, will also question my thinking.

And that is great! I want that ... because when one questions, the mind opens up, and each can travel their own path to enlightenment, if they choose.

Thank you Fiona, you were meant to come at this time ... I enjoyed this visit immensely!
