What’s love got to do with it? It’s a second-hand emotion…(Apologies to Tina Turner)

I beg to differ – it’s the ONLY EMOTION that matters in life.

From Love comes kindness, empathy, happiness, joy and connection, just to name a few of our most precious human qualities.

Don’t you agree?

And that’s what has compelled me to start my own little boutique online bookstore – Facts With Flair Books…

As I get nearer to end of my life than the beginning of it, I wanted to help the generations behind me, to share the knowledge I’ve gained (through serious blood, sweat and tears), so that you can have a running start, an advantage, a leg up onto this fast, galloping stallion we call the 21^st Century.

And on my, isn’t this journey a doozy, with the internet, artificial intelligence, cameras everywhere, non-existent privacy and opinions shooting at us from every corner? 

At 62 I wanted to jump off this whirly-gig of a ride and just take a breath.  Navigate my declining years in a quieter fashion, but still leave a legacy of hope, usefulness and love.

So, that is the reason I’m starting this series of articles, which refer to my curated offerings to you in my little shop, so that you can be spared (most) of the trials and tribulations that I’ve endured.

If you’ve been looking for a helping hand, please let me know in the comments what your biggest challenges are at the moment, and I’ll do my best to source, or create a solution that will help.

Talk to you soon.

Helen.
