William's Wishes
William's Wishes has just had a free promotion on amazon kindle which went fairly well and at least it gives people the chance to read and experience the book. I'm still looking for feedback if anyone has time to review it.
William's Wishes is a romance, a story about girls growing into women and also a story about adoption. I feel very passionately about William's Wishes because I was adopted in the sixties and although it is not my story being fiction, some parts of the book are very real to me and the birthday party in the book when Bridgette was 7 was definitely my 7th birthday party in many ways. I feel being adopted myself has given me a much greater insight into the emotions surrounding adoption and it was written to help others who are experiencing emotional difficulties to perhaps have a much more rounded approach. Adoptions can be very varied, not one being the same as another. One thing to remember is that we never really know how deep feelings run until we ask. I hope you enjoy reading William's Wishes as much as I did writing it.
Much love,
Jennifer

What to do on a cold day?
Hello Readers
I will try and keep my blog posts short and sweet because then you will enjoy reading them and I will enjoying writing them!
It's always difficult to get motivated when the frost is on the ground and you're looking for that thick jumper that you hid somewhere in a drawer last year, but with boots on and dressed up to go, when the sun peeks out, the day can feel like a miracle. What a very long sentence!
How often do we feel thankful that we are just alive? I think some winter days are like this, the summer feels like a distant dream and yet, if we make the effort, we find that there are just as many good things to find on a winter's day if we embrace it.
Today, I have walked my dog for about half an hour and given a friend a full body massage. I sometimes give therapy to people as I'm trained as a therapist and it is a good thing to swop. As a result of this, my friend gave me a very hot vegetable chilli - this was a complete unexpected bonus and it tasted delicious!
I'm still editing, but I'm getting there. I'm trying not to rush too much as that way, mistakes can slip through and no-one wants to read a book with too many mistakes. What was great today was I noticed that I have a new reviews on Liberty Angel and William's Wishes. If you are interested in the subject of adoption, particularly sixties adoptions, William's Wishes is for you. Being adopted myself, I have first hand experience of the emotions involved. My characters are fictional but in a way, I want to say, if you haven't lived it a little, then don't write about it because to me authentic writing is the writing that really rocks. Of course, we can't have been and done everything, can we? But I still feel it helps to know a bit about what you write.
Now, this is turning into a long blog post!
I'd like to add a little part of William's Wishes where Rececca confronts her emotions about the adoption of Bridgette....
"Rebecca agreed to go to the theatre with Lawrence. She was completely enthralled by the experience and afterwards she couldn’t wait to see him again. As the weeks turned into months, their occasional date changed into something more serious. But never once did she tell Lawrence the story of Bridgette, the baby she had lost. The baby, she now considered dead. She was afraid that if she opened up to him about this, it would drive a wedge between them. Although she loved Lawrence, her past was not in any way relevant to her future, a future that she hoped to spend with Lawrence. She had taken enough risks and been through enough pain. She desperately wanted to hold on to what she had left. As the years went by, it was only really on birthdays that Rebecca thought of Bridgette. This year was particularly hard because she knew that Bridgette was eighteen. She would be an adult. It was totally unbelievable. Bridgette would be able to make her own decisions, have a key to the house. Even leave home if she wanted to. It didn’t seem possible. Most alarming of all, was the fact Bridgette could now trace her. What would that do to her life? Surely it would be too hard? The whole thing was too confusing for her to think about. Her vision of Bridgette was of the small baby she’d held tightly, in those last few hours. Rebecca felt it would be better to keep it that way."
Thank you for reading ... and happy Thursday.
Love Jennifer

Hello Friends
I'm still working on change your life in 21 days and in all honesty I do feel calmer. I confess to missing a few days of playing the you tube because I've been away to Jersey, but I'm back on the case now and I'll just keep on listening to the I am affirmations, in bed until I notice a big change or break in the clouds.
Saying this, it's cold today 5 degrees but the sun is shinning and reminds us that her power isn't forgotten. Trust even on those long winter days, she can bring a warm smile to our faces. In fact in the winter, we are often more appreciative of ths sun showing because it brings through natural optimism plus hope that the cold weather won't last forever.
I've been busy today, I've started jogging with Barney which is run for 100, then walk a bit, then run another 100. He pulls me off track sometimes but he's generally good. Springers love to run but not always in a straight line!
I feel fitter since I came back from my dance weekend in St. Helier and I'd like to keep that way. I cleared bags of garden rubbish from the back garden and noticed it wasn't as much hard work as I'd envisaged because bending has become easier since going to pilates.
Of course for many, now is the SAD time of year, seasonal affective disorder because the reduction in sunlight has an effect on our seratonin and vitamin D levels. Top up now before depression sets in. I've got D3 because I was deficient a couple of years ago which made me feel really down. I believe you can buy seratonin too without a prescription.
But maybe the best thing to do from October onwards, is to go away and get some winter sun, although it isn't possible for everyone. I've had a couple of stay in bed mornings where I shifted by 9 a.m. and I've been finding it hard to focus. Concentrating on less but completing little goals is a great way to move forward until this subsides - I'm sure when my vit D kicks in I will get my old zing back.
How are you all doing? My friend is reading William's Wishes so I'm hoping for another review. It's a great story about adoption as well as being a family saga. There are three women involved in the adoption process who are all very different but linked.
What are you wishing for? We can manifest our greatest wishes if we believe. Doubt creates blocks - we have our own internal compass - make sure you are pointing it in the direction you want to go without distraction. Stay on your path and if things get hazy breathe, that's what the breath is for to keep us aligned to our soul purpose. We don't have to jump through hoops just remember that one foot goes in front of the other and remember who you are.

Back to Blogging, at last!
The spring is here! The birds have been singing and my grass looks very green, after all the rain we’ve had in Norfolk over the last few months. I always find it hard to blog about certain topics so I’ve decided to go with whatever crops up. I’m currently working on a paperback version of 5th Dimensional Earth which will be ready in about a week, so look out for that. Although only a very short book, writing it has been very intense because it reaches new levels of spirituality and I felt challenged to finish it. Intensity is part of who we are and conveying a message in a coherent way seems to use heaps of mental energy. Anyway, let me know if you like it.
The last three months have been tough with having covid, loss of hearing in one ear and with my gorgeous dog Barney, unexpectedly dying., I seem to have been wading through thick treacle. Then things suddenly changed about a week ago when the birds out of my bedroom window started to sing very loudly. I then decided to crack on with my writing. Interesting because I often help others get out of the treacle with my coaching and readings but I found myself to be truly stuck.
I had some interesting feedback on Williams Wishes yesterday which then lunged into the story of my own adoption. It felt irrelevant to talk about things so far in the past. We create our life and the way we live it. Staying present is the gift. Every day is an opportunity even if it doesn’t look quite as we imagined. There will always be treasure. Have a lovely week.
