In terms of my life and experiences writing is fairly new. Recently I was talking to a friend and remembering how I loved to write when I was in primary school, what a great imagination I had. I remember handing in my work and being so excited, getting the paper back and often it would have at the top of the page 100/100 then I would see the bloody red pen - spelling, grammar blah blah blah and then then newly corrected mark 54/100 - my heart would sink, no I would never be a writer.
But not so many years ago I started writing bits and pieces about my life, gained some feedback which changed my thoughts on writing and so the journey began. I still wasn't confident in my abilities until my darling friend ("I call her Mountain Fairy") said "Just write, what do you think editors are for". Of course, how dare I do people out of work, now I was free to write, the story, the emotions, everything, not worrying about the spelling, the grammar as that would be done later. Oh happy days :)

Life Through the Lens of a Sumptuous Goddess
Life through the lens of a sumptuous goddess is a humorous look at one woman’s view of life. Lynne takes us from early relationships, child birth, raising children, friends, relationships and pets. This book is a discovery that life is about the journey and not about the destination. That life is also about balance, if you decide to stay on the fence, the grey area that’s okay but you will miss out on the wonderful highs, those life changing moments. The balance to that are the lows, and they are low but unless we experience them there is no measure for the highs. Lynne takes everyday situations and draws out the humour, everything from having a pap smear to trying to impress a group of professional women. At times this book is brutally honest, full of raw true emotions but throughout it all is that common theme that there is adventure in just about everything we do, it is whether we choose to see it or not. This book will put a smile on your face and hopefully give you a couple of light bulb moments.
The cost is $22 excluding postage (slightly more for overseas). Please email me on lynned@iprimus.com.au to let me know your postal address or if your require direct deposit details.

Review by Linda Bradshaw.
“Life through the Lens of a Sumptuous Goddess”
Author: Lynne Dalrymple.
The most appealing person in the world, to me, is someone who is willing to take a light-hearted view of them-selves and then boldly share that. Because let’s face it, there is nothing quite so healing as a laugh, especially at ourselves.
Lynne Dalrymple does this in her hilarious book “Life through the Lens of a Sumptous Goddess” I have laughed with her and related to her as will beautiful girls everywhere. We have all had need of advice on subjects such as, looking our best, G. Strings, looking inside…not an inward look at self here, something quite different and so girly, camping trips, and much more. Blokes willing to read it will laugh for hours. I know they will relate to the humour and the heart- felt.
I have already sent one to a girlfriend as a present, and I can hear her laughing already.

Depression, you can still live love and laugh
Reading this now you are probably thinking there are so many books on depression and you are right. But the majority of books are written by counsellors and Doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists. Don’t get us wrong these books have vital information but we wanted something real something to share from people who live with this on a day to day basis. We wanted people to have ‘lightbulb’ moments when they would read something and think “that’s me” We would never profess to have all the answers but we wanted strategies that we and others have used, we wanted hope for people who just feel they can’t do it any more and we wanted you to know that you can still live, love and laugh.

PERSEPHONE
Marna slowly opened her eyes, for a moment not knowing where she was or when it was. Her neck was stiff and she was having trouble focussing. Her glasses had fallen to her lap. “God I am not in Kansas anymore” she giggled like a schoolgirl to herself. Marna unfolded the piece of paper she had clutched tightly in her hand. She had read and re-read this certificate over a hundred times. “Congratulations, The United Allied States for Peace and Goodwill have much pleasure in announcing that Marna Cummings has been chosen as one of the two hundred selected to colonise Pacifini. You will be contacted within the next two weeks for all the information and answers you will be seeking. Again Congratulations.
