CRACK YOUR LIFE - THE BOOK  Here's a way to learn about the power of reflection. Write about your life. Do it now. For you're like an egg - bland on the outside but bursting with richness inside the shell. I've written a book, CRACK YOUR LIFE, about how to write your story. Everyone's story deserves to be recorded because while we may think we are just ordinary, it's not true.

There is no such thing as an ordinary life.

Your unique experiences, whether tragic or tender - or even apparently ordinary - have forged the person you are today.

We write for different reasons. Some want to reflect on memories for purely personal satisfaction and to get events sorted in their heads. Others are keen to begin a history that can become a family heirloom.

And it doesn't need to take forever! CRACK YOUR LIFE contains heaps of ideas on how to get going - writing for as little as 10 minutes at a time - and plenty of tips on where to find inspiration and how to make your words shine.

We thought you may also be interested  to see that Lindsey is also running a workshop based on the teaching contained in the book.

CRACK YOUR LIFE - THE WORKSHOP Lindsey is running in August which encapsulates all the lessons from the book set out in two easy sessions

Join author and TV host Lindsey Dawson as she guides you in how write down lively, vivid slices of your far-from-ordinary life. This is designed for mid-life women who've hit that wise and magical age when they start to think about history, heritage and legacy.  This is, actually, when life starts to make sense! 
  
A two-part event:

    A one-dayer in which you can free up your pen and produce writing that's fresh and real, based on the best raw material of all - the stuff of your memory. Use it to write a personal history or to record and realise how much you've learnt from the peak times of your journey so far.
    A follow-up half day in which to take stock of your style and skills, and look forward with positive intention to the next stage of your life. 

WHEN - 9.30am-4pm Sunday, August 21

PLUS ANOTHER AFTERNOON - 12.30pm-3.30pm, Sunday, August 28
WHERE - Eden Garden, Mt Eden, where on August 28 you can also enjoy its annual Tulip Festival.  

At the first session, you'll learn to write and share your stories. The second session is for evaluation. You can bring a piece of writing from the first day - one that, with Lindsey's help, you've had time to edit or re-do -  so you can see how you've progressed. It'll be a great way to build confidence in continuing your writing journey, and your life's journey.

The price includes a free copy of Lindsey's new book, Crack Your Life:  How to Tell Your Unique Story - a Writing Guide, worth $25, plus welcome coffee/tea on both days. The excellent Eden Garden Cafe is right on-site for you to purchase lunch.

PRICE  $185 inc gst - or come with a friend and save $15 each.
