OK OK - I know - it's been AGES since I blogged! And the reason is, I was busy finishing my book! The great news is - the book is now published! "Left at the Big White Pig" is OUT and collecting rave reviews on Amazon! See http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008KPKMTG/ The book has had its own evolution. At the end of the day, it became the story of my year 2011-12, re-discovering myself as an older, wiser woman. The Galapagos trip, whilst wonderful, was a little anti-climactic in terms of the story. But it yielded a super-cool pic of me and a giant tortoise for the cover. The good news is, nearly 1,000 people have downloaded the book and I have had fan letters!!! One lady said it is the most inspirational book she has ever read. Wow. Another thanked me for reminding her to take her power back from the family she had given it away to. Gratifying stuff. Other book news: I also put up my 2nd book, "Your Presence is Enough" on kindle, so you can download it now. I'd love some reviews, please! I have to tell you, launching a book nowadays requires a LOT of time on internet sites and as many of you know, the computer has never been my strong point. Hence the blogging pause. But I am back on it!! As 2012 comes to a close and the world did not end on Dec 21st, I get a chance to exhale deeply and look at what I want to create for the New year. Travel, is on the agenda, of course. A trip to Panama is upcoming to see if it's a suitable place to bring my groups. And I'll be taking my Mum to Seville in Spain for a few days in the Spring. Plus the usual trips to Bali and Thailand are already scheduled for the Fall. I'm wanting to amplify my tantra teaching and will host a tantra workshop in Sierra Hot Springs in July. Plus I am in process of writing a short guide to "The 10 Tantric Powers for better sex." Or some such title. It's about time I wrote this book and I hope to get time to complete it while I am in Central America this January. Stay tuned. All that remains is for me to wish you Merry Xmas and an interesting New Year! see you in 2013.. Julia
