    About this ebook

    NOW! The Art of Being Truly Present is a collection of 85 original reflections on everyday experience, each paired with "mindful reminders" or meditative invocations, on the subjects that we all deal with on a daily basis and throughout our lives: Work, Aging, Gossip, Sex, and Friendship - just to name a few. This gift-sized book illustrates how spiritual transformation begins when we embrace the present moment and focus on the blessings we have in our daily lives rather than on what we have lost or perhaps never had. People seeking solace in reflection, prayer, and meditation will find this book an inviting and convenient source of inspiration that they will want to keep close at hand. NOW! is an ideal companion to turn to when settling down to sleep at the end of a busy day, or when centering oneself to begin each new one.

    I attended St Marys High School in Downpatrick that is where my interest for writing grew; I was thirteen when I entered a writing competition for a play I was lucky to win and my mum Maureen Mageean went with me to recording studio in England and it was screened on television in 1965, I worked in the catering trade which I loved and later on met my husband and we had a lovely son named Gary who married Michelle and they have given me three lovely grand children Rayan Shannon and Amy; I have continued writing through out the years and since retiring I now have the time to sit down and write.
