About the Book

On the day after my 13th birthday, my mother died. The day my mother died everything changed. And I mean everything. Within the space of four weeks, the home we'd lived in was packed up and sold, and after flying 2,000 kilometres south from the wide, open countryside to the complexities of city suburbia, my little sister and I were sent to live with different parts of the family. Oh, and I started high school. All in all, it was an abrupt, tearing, tearful parting. It felt like a door slammed on that chapter of my life... Hermetically sealed, never fully integrated into the following chapters. I pined for the lands of my childhood for years, but I never went back. It was on my 'to-do' list all right, but what scars would going back re-open? Would stifled grief, all black and ugly, come pouring out? Would going back liberate my ghosts, or unveil new ones? I wanted the answers to these questions... But, honestly, I was scared... Then, when I was 26, my estranged father died unexpectedly. Death changed everything again. But this time I was an adult, this time I was the conscious leader of my own adventures. Opening the potential Pandora's Box of my past became really, really important. Being loudly reminded of the fact you will be dead one day has a tendency to shake your priorities up a tad! It was time to go where the pain was and heal it, once and for all. This is the day-by-day story of the summer of 2012/2013, my 'Sacred Summer'. I went back, I finally went back... And it was one of the most intense journeys of my life... ***The sequel to my first book '100 Days of Morning' (Which chronicled the 100 days of 'radical, loving change' directly following my father's unexpected death in mid 2012.), this second book Living Book 'A Sacred Summer' is both a continuation of the first and a stand alone story in its own right. My style is a mash-up of Bridget-Jones'-Diary-meets-Eckhart-Tolle-meets-Rumi. It's 'everyday life' flavoured liberally with irreverent spirituality, sprinkled with kernels of deep truth and knowing, and spread decadently with lashings of love! Given that I'm a passionate foodie and can't seem to avoid the food metaphors, let me say this - These words, these stories, will feed you well. Yes, my friend, they will feed you well!
About the Author: Born in sunny Queensland, Australia, I've spent my life on a series of fascinating adventures... (Sometimes hanging the washing out is a fascinating adventure if you use your imagination a little bit!) Amongst other things, I've... - Studied business and theatre. (Business twice, theatre once. Dropped out two and a half times.) - Spent a season or three as a full-performer in a physical percussion ensemble. - Run workshops on a variety of topics (percussion, vocal and physical expression, creative writing, and personal development) here, there and everywhere. - Lived and worked (and driven!) in Bali. - Officially became an orphan at 26. (My mum died when I was 13 and my (practically absent) father in 2012) - Said a massive 'YES' to life and the living of my deepest desires, and the subsequent constant evolution of myself and my story. I excel in exploring my depths and moving towards my ideal- even when it's uncomfortable and means constant (occasionally exhausting) change. I'm really good at supporting you in yours - I strive to support you and challenge you in equal measure. I'm still practicing though; I'll be practicing until the day I die. I'm not so good at small talk anymore. I like, and am committed to, the juicy, inspired, conscious experiences of life. Cheap drama bores me - my own and other people's. The real, honest, ever evolving stories of you though, they fascinate me. I am a passionate advocate of asking better, deeper, more loving and more expansive questions about everything! Thanks for reading this far. If you like what you know, keep exploring my site and my work!: ) See you somewhere in the playground! Love, Gabriella
