Speech time again

I am speaking at the Far North Joyfest, to be held on March 3rd and so decided today, February 1st was the day I would work on my speech. I have already given three previous talks, and this one will be similar, with a bit of touching up to adapt to the title that I gave for last year’s cancelled event - how our pasts influence our current life and the importance of self-healing.

I pulled out the last talk I had given and realised that there was not too much work to do to make it fit for this talk. I did this before I started this blog. Now it is just a matter of learning the speech, so that I can talk without notes.

I do enjoy these occasions and especially if book sales follow. I have found nobody has bought my book after the speeches, but they have found me at my stall and bought them later.

I realise how far I have come in the last few years. I hid my first book, Who Is Me? fiercely away, only having the book launch in 2021, even though it was printed in 2016. I was so heavily influenced by all the deaths that had occurred through my writing in my past lives that, even though I knew I wouldn’t get burnt at the stake, I held that fear anyway. Now I feel, I have finally let that all go and I can be open about my beliefs and knowledge.

I wrote yesterday about the conversation I had with the annoying new publicist. At one point in the conversation, he told me that perhaps people weren’t buying my book because they didn’t like it. Apart from being insulting, he perhaps had a point but my question would be, why would he be interested in it if he thought people wouldn’t like it? …just as I thought, to get more money from me. Those people only do marketing if we pay, and I haven’t paid for a number of years. But knowing what I know energetically, and I have been told this by a psychic too, is that I have been my own worst enemy. By hiding my book away and wanting it hidden, I have blocked potential buyers. I feel I am open now and I am definitely comfortable about owning my truth publicly. And I do believe my book does have material that people want to read.

I saw the stark contrast with my friend who has just published her first book. She is proud of it, telling everyone about it and is having three book launches. Her enthusiasm is contagious making one want to buy her book. She tells me she has already had 34 sales. I can definitely see the difference being enthusiastic about one’s own work makes. Well done to her.

However, I have had my own journey, and overcoming my spiritual fears was a big part of this. I am pleased where I am now at and proud of myself for getting there. Kudos to me.
