Meditation is my passion and mothers are my favourite students. I care deeply about mothers and their situations and I know first hand that meditation has been a life raft in stormy seas for me. Because I was writing about something I loved I really didn’t spend much time thinking about what voice to use or how to best set the tone. I simply wrote what I loved about meditation and how it has helped in my life and let that stand for itself, unadorned and raw. My students respond to this in my classes so I hoped that this would translate to the page.

Once you find the subject that you love and are going to write about, it is completely okay if you don’t know everything about that topic or genre. I did a great deal of research for this book to fill in the gaps between what I knew personally, what I had studied and what others in the field had studied and shared. I learnt so much in the process of planning, researching and writing this book. I learnt crucial things that I didn’t even know would be important when I started writing. So I guess ‘just get started' would be another tip.(less)

I’ve long loved Margaret Atwood’s Poems and fiction without knowing much of her life story. This book was generous, revealing and honest. What a life and what a writer.
