Hector: At Ground Level by Gary Finnan

I'm delighted to be shining a spotlight on Hector: At Ground Level and Beyond by Gary Finnan as part of today's blog blitz with Love Books Tours. And I have to say I'm completely in love with the wee fella on the front cover which I think is Hector himself - so cute! 

The Blurb:

This little book is about being present to the wonders that exist around us 'At Ground Level', discovering all that we fail to see when we spend so much of our lives chasing bigger, better, faster, more, endeavouring to fly higher.

Everything else seems much more desirable around us than ourselves, or our lives and loves, after a long day at the slug farm.

When do we decide how to proceed with the life we have built thus far: Joy, passion, marriage, divorce, suicide, enlightenment? Choices we have made. What if you built from a place of strength rather than always feeling diminished and unfulfilled? A life built upon the life you have, rather than the elusive life you imagine, yet fear. Build a great life in balance with your best self and your nurtured relationships. Transformation is seeing the hidden gems that truly exist in plain sight.

We have all heard someone say, The grass is greener on the other side. Is it?

Most of us were 4 or 5 years old when the belief structure we made with life set in: I am stupid, I am weak, I don’t deserve, etc. We engaged believing that we should spend our lives proving that we are who we believe everyone else thinks we are. Breaking the cycle of doubt is essential. Loving self is the first love.

The grass is greenest where you are!

As I haven't had an opportunity to read Hector yet, I've borrowed a couple of review comments from the beginning of the book to give you a feel for it, and it sound's great! Do go and check it out.  

'A powerful, insightful, and very expressive story that made me stop to think about my own life; ultimately, we hold the power to make the choices and decisions that determine the course and satisfaction of our existence. Often the type of self-realization that the hedgehog found in his dream comes all too late.' Doreen Justice

'Hector's journey touched close to my heart. I have tried to wait patiently for my Hector to wake up. This little book paints a marvelous tale!' Allison Blakley
