H.A.G.S. with Attitude: A Philosophy for Ageing
This book is aimed at women aged 50 plus who refuse to join the ranks of the invisible older women. The book challenges the anti-ageing rhetoric and the attitude that seeps into every aspect of life. The title of the book is deliberate. Firstly, to prevent us from taking ourselves too seriously. Secondly, to understand the true meaning of hags and thirdly, as a mnemonic that captures the key themes of the book, namely Healthy living, Attitude, Get up and go, and Social connections.
Longevity is a relatively new phenomenon and we are all learning to deal with the consequences of an ageing population. Therefore, there is no blueprint for ageing, granting us the freedom to write the script. So, instead of lamenting the effects of our ageing bodies and sagging body parts, this book aims to provide inspiration through the stories and experiences of other women who have gone before and not only survived, but in many instances, thrived.
The book offers a practical and philosophical prism for women to make their own choices of how to live life beyond 50. It provides a set of guiding principles to encourage women to be bold and embrace this new phase of life with vigour. We, as a significant and influential group of women around the globe, have to share our wisdom and voices of reason that is needed more than ever before.

Hard Rain
This is the story of a British soldier serving in strife-torn Northern Ireland. A story of a soldier caught between necessary use of force and admiration for the people he had been tasked to put down.
Bomber’s Lament
Watch and wait in the dark
Don’t be afraid, killers can be killed
Like other men, don’t be afraid
Point the gun and squeeze the trigger
Killing is easy, living with it is hard
Dreams come, they go, only bad dreams
Where are the good dreams?
They died when you squeezed the trigger
The killers went to hell to burn and die
Your hell is here, it will last forever
God will forgive, if I ask him now
God has gone, leaving this world in disgust
He gave us paradise, we have destroyed it
Destroyed through greed and religious jealousy
The hard rain fell but couldn’t cleanse the soul
Nothing will cleanse it, for this we must suffer
Priests, man, woman, child, terrorist and soldier
The unborn have a chance but the hard rain fell
Bomber cried for help to God, no help came
Cried to his fellow man, they didn’t hear him
Only the warm arms of a woman gave comfort
Soothing an aching heart, wiping away the tears
All was not lost for God is still with us
Just listen and do what you know is right
Hold fast against evil that would control the world
Keep a strong heart, don’t be afraid of the dark
Our arms and hearts are strong, we will go on
God, where is he? He is in us to strike down evil
And the killers in the dark will be banished
But the hard rain fell and Bomber cried.
The first book featuring Bomber Brown, The Wolves of the Radfan, tells of his early life as a soldier fighting in the Middle East. Following on from Hard Rain, Bomber finds himself in more trouble in The Darkness. A story of how easy it is to go from good to bad in Northern Ireland and Switzerland.

Healthy Habits While Working from Home
A shift to at-home working may be one of the lesser side-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some will undoubtedly welcome longer lie-ins, saved commuting costs, and more time with loved ones. It may sound appealing, but WFH could have drastic consequences for your health.
A lack of social contact can take a huge toll on our mental well-being, with many relying on ‘water cooler chat’ to save them from the despair of loneliness. As if the emotional impact of WFH was not stark enough, unsupportive chairs and make-shift desks are leading to a rise in ‘tech neck,’ with muscular niggles becoming a daily ache.
Not to mention the stress of mixing home with work, and unhealthy snacks always being on hand! WFH may also make us couch potatoes, as the stroll to and from the station gets taken out of the equation. As if all that wasn’t enough, rolling from the bedroom to the boardroom – only to work into the evening – is a recipe for burn-out.
Healthy Habits While Working from Home provides practical, expert-led advice on how to stay physically and mentally well in a remote office while we adapt to the ‘new normal.’

How to BE the Change We Need
Why doesn’t our politics ‘do what it says on the tin’? What on earth happened to ‘Truth’, ‘Responsibility’, ‘Honesty’ and ‘Trust’? The words and concepts have long been familiar. They are all ‘on the tin’, so to speak. But not much sign, anywhere, of putting them into practice!
So what actually needs to change? Not just our values or our ideas but, surely, our behaviour, our habits. We don’t just need a description of the changes we want to see, but an understanding of how we can BE those changes. And this is where meditation comes in.
Meditation not just as thinking, but as actions that we practise until they become habits. To enable us not only to think differently about politics but to develop forms of awareness that enable us to respond more effectively – with greater self-knowledge, imagination and sensitivity.
So this is a book for us to practise with, and the final section is a practical guide to meditation methods.
The details of the meditation practices are derived largely from the philosophical and psychological teachings of Buddhism, but the book is intended for those of any faith (or none) or of any political persuasion.
So enjoy: perhaps this book will make all the difference!

I Dreamt I Was Flying
I Dreamt I was Flying is an authentic, timeless and transformational book about a true and magical journey of healing, guided and supported by dreams, symbols, and synchronicities.
In the time of chaos, insecurity and lack of leadership, we need to be our own authority. Gro Elisabeth Walle is reminding us that we need to trust our inner knowing and let our heart lead.
When her life collapsed, Gro Elisabeth Walle finally had to choose between letting go – or giving up. When she chose to let go of everything that she owned and was known to, she discovered a never-ending supportive and magical universe. She learned to trust, she was surrounded by “road-signs” and supported by “unseen help”. She discovered the universe was just waiting to help her when her life forced her out of her comfort zone. She heard the words “read the signs” whispered again and again, continuously through her magical journey. That showed to be her rescue. She saw her life in perspective, and it all made sense: both her perceived pain-stories and her journey. It all became magical when she discovered every experience had been an attempt from her Higher Self to awake her from an unconscious life.£8.99£6.29 -
Impact the Air That You Breathe
Everything that lives on this planet of ours has one thing in common: It’s not wealth or lack of it; It’s not belief’s ability or happiness; It’s the air that we breathe. It’s owned by every single one of us and no one has a bigger share than anyone else. That is what makes it special, and the most precious item in the world.
Without it we don’t exist. Breathing air is the first thing we do at the beginning of our life and when we stop breathing it, we stop. So in between these two important milestones in our lives what do we do with this gift. Do you get value from the air that you breathe? In the past you may have had glimpses or experiences of who you want to be. But for whatever reason it could not be maintained, and you slipped back into old habits and responsibilities.
When you impact the air that you breathe, you are going to make a huge impact on your world. You are going to move your world to a different dimension of success and well-being. I believe that your best results are just waiting there to be discovered, if you are willing to do the work. If you keep taking action and follow the steps, it’s only a matter of time until you impact the air that you breathe. It’s up to you: your results will happen as quickly as you want them to happen. Results don’t lie: you will always be where you are because of your results.

It Must Be True... I Made It up Myself...!
Do you feel that life is propelling you along like a twig in a strong river current? Or that it is taking you far too close to dangerous hazards, risking your very existence and causing you immense anxiety?
That river current lives within you; it’s your ego, and it is not wise, kind or benevolent. Left to its own devices it’s a tyrant, and it will always be the same.
It’s invariably your ego that creates and maintains the threats to your happiness, your peace, and your very survival; and it’s an ever-present powerful threat.
In this book, Kevin Staffa identifies and examines three key manifestations of your ego: your “Proto” ego (that is, your source or ancestral ego), that’s not only paranoid about survival but can be the greatest threat to your survival; your intellectual ego and your spiritual ego. They’re unmasked and revealed for what they are: untruthful, devious and out of control. In this exposé, the author closely examines David Hawkins’ map of consciousness and reveals its dangerous flaws.
If you want to take back your life, this book is for you. It decodes and dismantles your ego; and shows you how to transform this inner despot into a calm and useful ally.

Life Is Like Climbing a Mountain
Have you ever thought in your life how magnificent it is to reach the top of a mountain? What are essential skills for a mountain climber? These are the same questions we always ask. Important words to remind us to keep moving:
P = Prayer, through them we communicate with God, and “nothing will be impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37). Believe in Him, and you will get there!
P = Plan to win.
D = Determination to reach where you want to be in life is crucial.
S = Working hard with consistency will help you to build your stamina to get on top.
P = Patience to wait to receive what you have prayed for. “Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:22)
On top of the mountain is our destination. It is difficult to climb, but once you get there, the atmosphere is wonderful. If you want to be successful you should not stop climbing and seeking your dreams until you achieve your goals; no matter what difficulty you face on the way, you should not give up.
In Life Is Like Climbing a Mountain, Newstar Mwombeki reaffirms her belief that we should climb the mountain with a vision and a mission to pursue our goals in the highest perspective. But we need courage and determination to get through the ceiling. Through her examples in this book, you will learn how wonderful it is to reach the top of life’s mountain.
