Inspiring and teaching others. Connecting with my soul's voice to share important messages. Being creative with ideas and language. Writing is a way that I follow my joy.

Keep following your joy and your dream. Do whatever it is that fills you with inspiration. For me, it's spending time in nature. Make notes when an idea comes to you, whether it's related to the whole concept of a book or just the composition of a single sentence that feels divinely inspired. Write a book proposal so that you form an organised plan of chapters and how they will flow into each other to create a story or teach others in a logical format. This proposal will help you to become more organised and set yourself goals of writing a certain amount at a time. It will also be useful to have it to submit to prospective publishers. Do whatever it takes to get into the mood for writing but don't force it. If there's a particular place or time of day that inspires you to get writing then use that to motivate yourself.

I spend time in nature because this clears my energy field, grounds me and connects me to my soul's voice. When we write from our heart and soul, we share words that have an important message to convey.

I felt a calling to teach children in some way. I feel it’s important to teach them the importance of being kind, considerate and understanding. This way of being is simple and achievable and can make a huge positive impact on people’s lives. My older brother, Martin, has an ultra-rare genetic syndrome called WAGR. Growing up, I was saddened by people bullying him, making assumptions about his capabilities and by him being made to attend a different school to me. Our family connected with other families whose children had various disabilities, including Down’s syndrome. I was such a shy, reserved child and I was taken aback by the open display of affection from the children I met with Down’s syndrome; they seemed free to be who they wanted to be. I saw they had individual personalities with different traits and abilities, but other people who did not mix with people with disabilities did not necessarily understand this. Down’s syndrome affects many more people than WAGR, so focusing my book on Down’s syndrome enabled me to reach more people as they would be able to identify with the character and themes of the book more easily. I also felt that many people did not know the cause of Down’s syndrome and that this book would explain it in a simplistic way, helping to reduce prejudice and judgment, thereby encouraging understanding, acceptance and integration in education and the community.

I am writing my memoir. It's a story of unconditional love and devotion. A story of tragedy turned into triumph through trusting intuition. This book teaches that everyone - no matter the hardships they endure, no matter how difficult the odds, no matter how great the injustice - has the inner strength and courage to overcome it, fight for their loved ones and succeed. On the other side of adversity, magnificent miracles await. Never give up.

I go out into nature, which clears my energy field, and I receive divine inspiration.
