Slightly later this week, because I used all my time yesterday working on today’s Sunday Inspiration. It’s a special edition because it’s a project I have been involved in. As always, some music to listen to whilst you read on – click here to listen to the marvellous Fitzcarraldo by the Frames – a song about the mountains of effort you put in for love – Fitzcarraldo was man who pulled a ship over a mountain to follow the thing he loved.
Now – this weeks inspiration – I am proud to have been involved with a book that has just been released by my Mum – all the details are over here.
A Power Within – Poems of Love is a book of poetry take from the blog of the same name. My Mum has been writing poetry to record her life as she cares for my stepfather, who is suffering from Multiple Myeloma. I was involved in formatting and editing the book – and laying out ready for the publisher.
The book is completely inspirational for me as it shows how love conquers everything – shining through even the darkest days. I’ll leave the poetic writing to my mum, but please consider visiting her site, reading the poetry and leaving some comments – and maybe purchasing a copy of her first self published book. Each sale will include a donation to the International Myeloma Foundation, and the Church in the Village where Mum lives.
