Serendipity

 

A Moment In Time

 James stands toes buried in the sand, ankles brushed by the cool waves of his beach.

                              Why should he leave?
                          Why should he have to go ?
                            …It’s their choice not his.

                              ‘It’s not fair!’ he mutters.

James is faced with a difficult choice…he doesn’t want to leave his special place, but his family is moving and there is no way for him to stay.

Serendipity – a moment in time – intervenes and a surprise encounter helps him to stand up and be counted.

PAPERBACK

Highway To Well

This is a story about my personal journey through mental illness. I suffered from severe depression from 2012 until 2015. At one stage my illness became so acute that I became psychotic. Due to my illness, I lost three years of my life. I am sharing my story in the hope that it will not only give encouragement to others who are suffering from the same debilitating illness, but I also hope to touch the lives of the carers, friends, and families of those afflicted with such an insidious, indiscriminate disease.
