Why I wrote the Book

I was in the kitchen one day, I am a mother of three young children, twin girls aged 4 and a 20month old boy, and they were all screaming and tugging at me from various angles in varying pitches.

I was cooking, I was tired, under slept and I needed to zoom out to retain some sanity. At that moment, in a flash, I decided that what I need was a big canvas with positive words on, to look at in moments of stress.

So that is what I did, I got the canvas and I wrote, with colourful paint, things that made me happy, the sea, laughter etc and I think that this was the seed for the book.

The words are still on my wall and in moments of stress, or not, I look at them and find a kind of instant immediate happiness, I guess its a kind of positive trick for the mind.

So I started to think, I wanted to know what made other women happy. And I thought it would be such a lovely book. So that is how I came about writing the book. I also feel in this day and age where womens lives are so full and busy it can be easy to not stop and take a breath.

There are lots of demands on women and I think that women put a lot of demands on themselves. So this book is for all the wonderful women out there who need a breather and want to stop and laugh and remember what makes them happy.
