Living the Journey

LIVING THE JOURNEY is a collection of fourteen life stories of men, women and children which challenges the stereotype of Hero as well as the Tall Poppy Syndrome. Here we dive into the crowd and read about everyday unsung heroes who could be our friends and neighbours. These are reachable heroes we can all identify with … Short Poppies perhaps!

These stories are carefully crafted from interviews with people who have all had challenging life experiences and are still overcoming their difficulties with courage and resilience. These people speak for themselves.

The author believes we are all heroes and that sharing our stories can give us strength and encouragement to meet our own demons face to face … and perhaps turn them into Angels of Mercy. She says, ‘We are all in this together, this Journey of Life. Each day is another bend in the road on the Journey of Becoming and Belonging … the Journey of Love finding itself being human.
