I digress from my series of posts to bring you the news that
‘SEARCH FOR THE PEARL INSIDE YOURSELF’
has this fantastic new cover:
An Inspirational and Motivational little book for young people who are struggling to find their way at the moment.
This version is only available:
at Waterstones
at the Great British Bookshop
I have heard so many people say that their grandson, grand daughter, nephew or niece find it hard to move on after Covid and Brexit. Opportunities open a few years ago have challenges, drawbacks and hidden pressures.
Their education has been disrupted.
Their university days which should have been uplifting and full of social events has been curtailed or irreparably damaged.
Opportunities to travel or work abroad have narrowed.
A gap year of travels is weighed down with concern for the environment.
A 20 year old waiter in Greece remarked back in May just as restrictions were being lifted, ‘I’ve always wanted to see a bit of the world and maybe work in the UK for a while but I’m not sure it will ever be the same again.’
This is a theme close to my heart having taught struggling 16 to 19 year olds for over a decade in Luton Bedfordshire before moving to Fife.
There are still a few copies of the first edition which I am prepared to GIVEAWAY FREE in the UK, for just the cost of postage, if you get in touch with me before Christmas and outline briefly why you think it might help. Please don’t name the young person though.
