The diamond may adorn royalty, regardless of personal worth; but jewels of thought render even poverty illustrious and sublime – From Gems for the Fireside

Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human brain with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human heart with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is – Dalai Lama
Inspiration For Breakfast – Update
Inspiration For Breakfast is now available as a paperback and eBook on both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
I am proud and happy to announce that today sees the release of my latest literary project Inspiration For Breakfast. It is a compilation of beautifully uplifting quotes of a spiritual, inspirational and motivational nature. There is no story line, no characters and no danger of being disappointed with the ending; just pure unadulterated inspiration. It has been published as a paperback and eBook, but as I type the eBook is still going through the review process in Amazon Kindle and the paperback version is not showing up on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com yet. The reason for this is that newly published books can sometimes take a few days to become visible in online stores. Having said that it can be purchased in Amazon CreateSpace as a paperback for $9.99.
Apart from Inspiration For Breakfast I have just finished recording my latest CD Mantra For The Soul. However, the finished product requires a tiny amount of tweaking, so in the meantime I will be working on the artwork for the cover, label and inner booklet. Oh… and look out for another book of quotes just in time for Christmas!

Begin your day by feeling grateful. Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the refrigerator that keeps your food cold, the car that you drive, your job, your friends. Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities, services, and electrical appliances that make your life effortless. Be grateful for the magazines and the books that you read. Be grateful for the chair that you sit on, and the pavement that you walk on. Be grateful for the weather, the sun, the sky, the birds, the trees, the grass, the rain, and the flowers. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

There is a difference between feeling gratitude and appreciation for something, and feeling attachment to something. Appreciation and gratitude are states of pure love, while attachment contains fear – fear of losing or not having what you are attached to. When it comes to something you want in your life, appreciation and gratitude attracts, and attachment pushes away. If you are feeling afraid that you will not get what you want, or losing what you have, then you have attachment. To remove the attachment, keep shifting yourself into a state of appreciation and gratitude, until you can feel that the fear has gone.
