It should come as absolutely no surprise that I love reviews. I love to write them (as evidenced by this blog); and I love to read them. Some people spend hours surfing Youtube; I could spend that same time, trawling through reviews on Goodreads . I find it fascinating when people get passionate about something they've read. That an author they've never met can elicit emotions, and a response, is awesome. Regardless of whether it is positive, negative, or neutral; it can be really fun to read.

Lesley Anne Neale Hi Readers, qualifying some years’ ago to practise aromatherapy massage and Indian Head massage, I am a great believer in complementary therapies to overcome health problems, so I decided to write a self help guide for stress relief with the intention of helping others understand the effects of stress and how to deal with stressful situations on a daily basis. Having suffered stress myself for some years, which affected most aspects of my life, I attended self help groups for meditation and mindfulness; had immense support from friends and family and, by using my own expertise, managed to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life. My passion is to use my own experiences to help others combat stress and encourage others to follow the tips and guidelines that I have suggested in my book.
