  1. This is a wonderful quote in itself, but it is completely overshadowed by your decision to donate the proceeds from your book sales to charity.

    Mental health has never been more important than it is now and supporting mental health charities in this way is amazingly selfless of you.

    Everyone can benefit hugely from reading your books, and I would implore people to get behind you and support you, by buying your books.

    1. Thank you... yes, my gift is giving, in my books and blogs.

      My gift is talking about mental health, and mental health is needed more today than it has ever been. Both my books are based around mental health and can support anyone in their mental health journey.

      'Spirituality, Healing and Me' on kindle is reduced again for the second time, the first time was in January. For anyone interested, if you want to go to 'My Book' page, or to Amazon UK, you can pick up a copy for 0.99p.

      Offer ends 31st March. Please help support mental health.
