The pandemic months and years were a time of solitude and awakening for me. I worked online with my spiritual teacher, Kathleen Milner, and upgraded my spiritual attunements. It was a time of contemplation and meditation for me. Like the world, I went still. My thoughts came together, and I decided to fulfill a dream that I had yet unexplored. The long-buried dream of becoming an author.
When I first published “The Bridge Of Now” on the full moon of 21st September 2021, it was probably THE most exciting and courageous thing I’d ever done in my life.
And, I believe, because I took that massive step, my life and work has expanded hugely since. I have created the beginnings of 3 more books, an idea for a new oracle card deck which I’m playing with and fleshing out at the moment, and created online courses and coaching programmes – all of which were made possible for me, by trying to follow and embody the concepts and teachings in my beautiful book, “The Bridge Of Now”.
Republishing the revised edition of my novel, “The Bridge Of Now” is a decision I made for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I thought that the Workbook at the back of the book had become outdated, with its references to COVID 19 and the vaccines etc. Thankfully, we have all moved on from that contracted time. Secondly, publishing my first novel opened doors for me within myself. If I could do that, well, what else could I do?
“The Bridge Of Now” woke me up and because my work has expanded and grown so much, I want to bring it closer to me and to my current projects. I didn’t want it to be something that I wrote waaaaay back in the annals of time, when we were all living impossible lives, and locked away from the rest of the world. I want to bring it home to all my other ongoing projects that it birthed. So, I decided to take the old 1st edition out of publication and self-publish with my group of intrepid warrior sisters and friends at The Scribe Hive.
The Scribe Hive flourishes by being the epitome of what collaboration, community, sisterhood, and friendship means. It’s about listening to one another without trying to fix or change. Just being present. Sarah (in many ways our uncrowned leader and guide in this undertaking), has held my hand throughout the republishing process and I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for all her help.
So, as I put the finishing touches on the 2nd edition, with updated workbook and reimagined cover, I feel that my first novel is home in its right place, in the stable with its sister books, “Return to Star Junction”, “Isabel, Awaken”, “Ghostwriter” and “Mythmatched” – all published by the fabulous authors of our hive.
I look forward to the books and stories that are to come from our group of busy bees.
I’m also so excited as I look forward to the launch.
Full Moon, April 23rd 2024 will see the publication of my updated work.
I adore this little book. It’s changed my life, and it will change yours too.
