Just Bee You / 342

Warning: this book contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children). There’s enough solidly inspirational and profoundly beautiful literature out there already for your reading pleasure, I won’t add to that. Instead I offer you this. I wrote it. I felt compelled to do so because I have a suspicion that, like me, we all worry about and over analyse the same things in life. We are all just anxious meatbags, trying to get along. We all want similar (ish) things. Happiness, family, love, safety, FAME and a metabolism that helpfully speeds up annually on the event of our passing birthdays. I found this quote a few years ago, it came up as I was scrolling on the internet. It’s so beautiful it actually hurts. “You’re a ghost driving a meat coated skeleton, made from stardust. What do you have to be scared of?” It’s deep isn’t it? It’s basically the theme of this book. It’s aim and my intention is to alleviate worries and reassure the reader that we are all the same inside. We ALL relate to the same s*** that keeps us awake at night. I’ll be honest… I swear like a trucker, but I sure can write and I have good intentions. And, as the front cover states- it’s a guide to surviving the best bits of life and holding our middle fingers up to the rest! – BindReviews “Bindy has a knack of taking my breath away with her work. It’s like she knows exactly what makes us tick! My favourite piece is B is for beautiful and one particular sentence has stuck with me: You have an invisible layer of protection, you know this because you make it, every night, when you sleep. Powerful words, powerful mind, beautiful person.” - Clare Johns, Furniture Finisher. “Bindy Hall writes pieces that are not only honest, they are relatable. When you read them you smile along, cry at parts, and share the experiences that she is voicing or been of witness too. They enable you to sit back and reflect, think and realise you are not alone and that is why I am a huge fan of her work. Her ability to create witty pieces of writing with a serious undertone is not only clever, it’s inspiring. I am always desperately waiting for the next and I forever will for as long as she graces us with her writing!” - Lauren Honebon, Head of Performing Arts- Manchester Enterprise Academy ISBN: 9781912243877
