My Book

I have always wanted to write a book. For the past 30 years, I have kept a diary, to keep track of my mental health really in the hope that one day, I would have the time and the money to write my memoirs. Lockdown become the perfect time for me to do this. I didn’t have a job, so I had the time. I didn’t necessarily have the money, but I had a wonderful Coach on board who believed in what I wanted to do and assured me that the money would come, and advised me to make a cosmic order for the money to come through, which is what I did. I started writing my book,"BELONGING", my journey to love and acceptance, on the 1st June 2020 and I finished writing and typing it out end of November, so it took me six months. This is the most challenging thing I have ever done, which took me well out of my comfort zone and by the end of the six months, you could say I was exhausted and needed a break.

I have taken two months off, given myself that well earned break, and have now completed the second part of the book, which is to get it to print. It was a huge challenge but getting it ready for print was also possible with the mindset that I have acquired which is that nothing is impossible. Like I did for the six months last year, I put my head down, got down to my writing schedule and put that baby to rest using all the power inside of me to do it.

The reason why I wanted to write this book was because I wanted to look at the anger that at times would envelope me and take over my whole being. It was anger that I thought that I had worked out and sorted out so that I could live my life, but it never ceased to surprise me when it reared its ugly head. Now coming up to my 60th Birthday, I decided that enough was enough. I would write a book in which I would deal with it once and for all, and that is what I decided to do during lockdown.

An Excerpt

Here is a clip from the beginning of the first chapter titled “Anger”:

“ 'Life is about risking everything for a dream no-one can see but you.' - Anon.
I wanted to write about my anger, as a way of understanding it. I have been angry about my Mum and childhood for over fifty years. I still harbour a lot of anger. I just felt that enough is enough. I didn’t want her to die while I was still angry with her for something that happened more than fifty years ago. It didn’t make any sense. In theory I could understand about letting go of my anger towards her; I could understand about forgiveness, and that everything that happened between us happened for a reason. We had made a soul contract to support each other with the lessons that we wanted to learn this lifetime. I had asked her to teach me these lessons so that I could fulfil my life purpose. I knew all this stuff by heart, and backwards. I had read the books and had years in therapy. I had been to hundreds of workshops, talks and seminars about loving myself, letting go of my anger, healing my life through forgiveness and gratitude. So why was I still allowing the anger to seep through like an old lost friend that I yearned for. I would look at my pile of books (and there were many) and wonder if all the reading had been in vain. Should I just pack them all up and take them to the charity shope, and chase some other dream?"

“I was on an emotional rollercoaster ride with the author. It is very difficult for me to pinpoint what I felt at any given point, apart from – I felt deep sadness and grief when I was reading the chapter about her daughter’s death. I cried. As a mother myself. I cried. After I had read the book I really wanted to continue reading the book – I wanted there to be more. This is testament to the author, her story and the way she shares it with the reader.”

“This is a book for anyone who is going through difficult times, emotionally suffering and questioning ‘why me?’ To realize there is light at the end of the tunnel. All it requires is to have positive attitude towards life and have courage to look within to find answers. Taking steps towards what feels right to them and be bold enough to follow through.”
(Ranjanie – Healer, Mentor)

“I found this book extremely inspirational, enlightening and educational – reading it I was inspired and motivated to take action on my own daily practice of self-care and self-love. Since reading this book, I have resumed stating daily affirmations after stopping doing them for just over six months. I had been meaning to re-start this act of self-care and self-love for a long time. Reading this both was the push and encouragement I needed. It has given me food for thought for my current self-reflection on my journey. I am also writing my own book of poems – I have been motivated, inspired, encouraged and empowered to complete my goal. Thank you Maggie for your powerful book.”

“I felt sorry for little Maggie, and very proud of the woman she had become.”

“The chapter about Jeff’s people was inspiring to me as it highlighted the plight of many young today that are stuck in jobs they do not like and are willing to let their dreams die all in the name of fitting into a society that doesn’t always care. From this beautiful chapter came the beautiful story of someone who was prepared to go backwards before he could move forwards with his life.”

“Maggie keeps it real in this heartfelt story of her life. It is frank and open and at times difficult but always real.”
