One of the great things about working in this industry - the world of metaphysics and self-improvement - is that you get to encounter, and make friends with, some fascinating individuals. I thought I would write a quick post to tell you about some of the people I value and what they are up to.

My wise, inspirational and loyal Leo friend, Annie Lionnet is celebrating the release of her second book in ‘The Brilliant’ series from Pearson Publishing (Can you see the link between Leo’s and the sunshine word
brilliant!). Last year Annie wrote
The Brilliant Guide to Life Coaching and this weekend saw the launch of
Brilliant Relationships - Your Ultimate Guide to Attracting and Keeping the Perfect Partner . Although these books don’t contain any astrology, Annie is a tutor with the Faculty of Astrological Studies and much of her understanding of the nature of love, desire and relating comes from her astrological work and coaching with clients and students. I would highly recommend this book even if I didn’t know her!
Louise Austin (Gemini) is a psychotherapist, a personal development workshop leader and conference speaker. I met Louise at a hospital ante natal class 11 years ago when we were both expecting our first child. Out of a class of about 30, Louise and I hit it off, we got chatting only to discover that we hail from the same small town some 100 miles north of London and had two good friends in common - synchronicity/fate? Whatever, I love the way the universe conspires to draw us towards like minded souls.
Louise works alongside Alison Hodge, and with Saturn currently opposing Uranus, Louise is breaking free (SA/UR) from concentrating solely on her workshops with companies such as Coca-Cola, GSK, The Daily Mail Group etc and giving public workshops with Alison. If you sign up to their mailing list by sending Alison an e-mail there will be forthcoming Vision to Reality workshops. Annie and I hope to join them in giving one with an astrological ‘bent’ soon too!
Linda and Cornelius Boertjens are founders of OrangePeel Vision Boards. A couple of years ago I was so impressed by this product - the only one of its kind on the market at the time - that I became an affiliate and ended up in regular communication with them. Although they are based in New Zealand (where my Moon IC ACG line is) we have become firm friends and I can tell you that with Mercury (in Scorpio) ruling my 11th, with Virgo on the cusp, I don’t give my ‘lurve’ and friendship indiscriminately!
They are totally dedicated to making people more aware of the power of the Law of Attraction and Visioning and their business decisions are made from a place of wanting to share, rather than ££$$$ signs in their eyes. They have integrity with a capital I and a great promotion on for Christmas! Click the banner for more info….

Ann-Marie Caffrey (Cancer) and Joe Vitale (Cappie) are two others who more than deserve a mention. AM (as we call her) introduced me to Joe who has recently reworked his book The Attractor Factor to include AM’s AFIQ ( Attractor Factor IQ ) quiz. You can buy the revamped version of the Attractor Factor and acquire a huge amount of freebies here. It makes a great Xmas present for others and ranks as one of my ‘Change your life‘ books for its inspirational content.
I’m working on a fabulous book project myself at the moment with another trusted friend, Jonathan Cainer (Saggie) - a venture which I will tell you more about as soon as possible. For now though I sincerely hope that if you have enjoyed my posts over the years, you will feel happy to trust and support my friends too.
Oh and don’t forget Martin Davis and
his books for anyone with an interest in AstroCartoGraphy. Other people who I admire or ‘hold close’ can be found amongst my links in the sidebar!
Many thanks indeed x
