As my new book 'Girlfriend for a year' makes itself out into the world, it is re connecting me with old friends... My book on conscious relating is opening up dialogues again with people I met and enjoyed connecting with six years ago...

It was 2009 and Suzy Miller was creating the first ever UK ‘divorce fair’... It was called SOS which stood for Starting Over Show, and it was about Starting Over from divorce in a holistic and empowering way.

I have always been a 'journal keeper' - when I cleared out everything I owned to become a nomad, there were many many half filled notebooks full of  thoughts and quotes... Guided writing and insights; eulogies written about my own death... Dreams, understandings.... Realisations, affirmations.... Processes, ideas....

Shedding these was a wrench, but now they are gone...

'Girlfriend for a year' (An excerpt here) started this way..... As a journal charting my year as a girlfriend, for me to reflect and grow from.

The book emerged when I saw it as a way to communicate what I have learned, and what I teach, and I saw that it might give others opportunities to go deeper in their own relating and relationships...

The story I told was that I was a traveller within and that I didn't really need actually go anywhere as I journeyed in my dialogues and within my being.... On reflection I have always ventured over lands too - to foreign countries, different languages, cultures, weather and ways.
