Description:
This book is a journey that will be different for every one: a personal, insightful adventure that can grow your spirit and feed your soul. It is a fusion of adventure and contemplation, written to be both uplifting and thought provoking. It explores life, relationships, acceptance, intuition and the importance of being you, along with other insightful and inspirational thoughts such as the Tapestry of Life and the Understanding of the Soul. It enables the reader to take from its pages as little or as much as they want to support their own life’s journey.
Whilst writing this book, I often wondered about my ability to be the one to convey all that is written within these pages. I didn’t set out to write a book, nor did I know that this was what I was meant to do. However, when the words just kept flowing from my pen to the paper, it felt like they were being given to me to pass on to others. I was being helped to use my life experiences and difficulties to bring wisdom for others to use if they wished to do so. ‘The Mirror’ was down on paper within 6 months and I was ignorant enough at the time to think that it was finished. It has actually taken 3 years to complete and to be what you have before you today. I felt compelled to write these words for you and wanted them not to be prescriptive but more about planting seeds of thought that may enable you to bring out the best in your life and, along the way, grow your soul to become the best you can be. This book is part of my life journey: I hope it can be part of yours.
Prologue:
Angela was delighted with her purchase from the local auction room, a large floor-length antique mirror. She had waited a long time for one so magnificent to grace her house but little did she know that the Mirror had not come into her home by chance: another world awaited her.
As she is getting ready for work one morning, a voice from the mirror called her name. Angela turned and in the mirror she saw an elderly women smiling back at her. Slowly, they engage in conversation, she discovers the elderly lady is called Miriam, who says she has waited a long time for the right moment for them to meet. Miriam encourages Angela to walk through the mirror to be with her and, after some moments of hesitation tinged with fear, she takes a leap of faith and steps through the mirror. The room she arrives in is warm and comfortable and Angela feels surprisingly at peace as she sits down in a chair opposite Miriam. A cup of tea and a handful of golden dust later, they start the journey they are destined to take together. They become good friends, sharing laughter and their understandings of life and they travel by land and sea to places Angela has never seen before. All they need for their journey is provided for them: no one else is around but who is looking after them? Caught up in the wonder of it all, the journey for Angela becomes one of self-discovery and growth of spirit and, for Miriam it is food for her soul.
