Why I Finally Wrote My Book

There comes a point in life when you realise that the experiences you’ve gathered, the lessons you’ve learned, and the people you’ve met have shaped not only who you are but also what you have to share with others.

After years of thinking about it, I finally sat down and wrote A Happy Medium – Awakening Through Life’s Challenges.

Many people assume the book is about mediumship, and while that forms part of my journey, the book is really about life.

Born in Inverness and raised in Fort William and Aberdeen, my life has taken me down many different paths. I’ve worked offshore in the North Sea, campaigned for workers’ rights, served as Chairman of Fort William Football Club, raised children, built businesses, faced personal challenges, and eventually found my calling helping others through life coaching, mediumship, healing and personal development.

Like everyone else, I’ve experienced setbacks, disappointments, successes and moments that changed the direction of my life forever. One thing I have learned is that life rarely follows the plan we create for it. Instead, it asks us to adapt, learn and grow.

The title A Happy Medium came long before my spiritual work. Friends and family often described me as someone who looked for balance and tried to find the happy medium in difficult situations. Over time, the name stuck and eventually became my business name.

The book shares stories from my life, but more importantly, it shares the lessons that came from those experiences. I believe we all have a story worth telling.

Every person we meet teaches us something. Every challenge carries a lesson. Every setback contains the seeds of growth if we are willing to look for them.

My hope is that readers will see a little of themselves in these pages and perhaps discover new ways of approaching the challenges they face.

If my story encourages even one person to keep going, ask for help, follow a dream or see a difficult situation differently, then writing the book has been worthwhile.

After all, we’re all just trying to find our own happy medium.
