The Story Behind Harper Forgot He Was Brave

My regular meditations took a different turn, revealing a deeper layer of inner connection not experienced before. This continued for some time, finally leading me to a space in which I could start healing the child within.

One morning, I felt inspired to sit down and write. It was a way for me to work through feeling lost and like I had given my power away. I also felt I had lost my courage. I simply wanted to hide.

As I let the writing flow, the main character, a lion, let me know his name was Harper. The title of my book ‘Harper Forgot He Was Brave’ also came through to me.

Initially, I was convinced it was a children’s book and then I read the story out aloud to a dear friend and burst into tears. It was clear, writing this had been a healing therapy for me.

I was now sure that the inner child in others would also greatly benefit from reading my words. I recognised that this story needed to become a book. Its purpose is to support the rediscovery of ones courage and power, and to encourage greater inner awareness and reflection.

Before I knew it, I was sitting down with a very talented illustrator, Abi Jayakumaran, talking about the characters, working through page flow and sharing my visions with her. Abi helped me bring my story to life!.

Today, I’m so proud to share Harper Forgot He Was Brave with you. I hope you enjoy my first book and I hope to write many more.

A Companion for Your Journey

Free Guide: A Guide to Rediscovering Inner Awareness

After writing Harper Forgot He Was Brave, I felt readers might need something more, a companion to support their own journey of healing and self-discovery. So I shared a meditation technique, inspired by the same process that led me to write the book and reconnect with my own inner child.

My hope is that this guide offers gentle guidance for anyone ready to pause, reflect, and begin exploring their inner world. Just as the book opened a pathway of healing for me, I hope it helps others find what they need most. Whether that’s peace, clarity, courage, or a sense of coming home to themselves.

Both the book and the guide are meant to be more than tools. They’re invitations, gentle reminders that the answers we search for aren’t out there in the world, but quietly waiting within us. When we set an intention to look inward, we begin to rediscover the strength and light that have been within us all along.
