Magnetic Me!

Hi, I'm Carine, the author of Magnetic Me!

I have written this book to help you to understand that the only major obstacles or greatest allies in your life are your thoughts. And, depending on the nature of your thoughts, you will attract into your life things and or circumstances that reflect those thoughts.

Many will find this idea difficult to accept, particularly if their current situation is not to their liking. However, a concept that may be easier to accept is that you can decide how you react to your situation or circumstance even if you do not feel you created it for yourself. You can decide that although you do not like it, you are going to take positive action to change it or yourself. Alternatively you could decide to take the 'poor me' approach and see the situation as impossible to overcome. Either way it is YOUR choice based on YOUR thoughts about the situation.

I have experienced many situations and circumstances that have not been to my liking both as a child and as an adult. However, I have also learned that in every situation good or bad there is a lesson and by looking for those lessons I have been able to cope with the situation and move on. I have also realised that those circumstances were the results of the thoughts I carried as a child and young adult and I am now very careful not to entertain thoughts that will make me a miserable old woman!

My first thought about being an author came about only 3 years ago (so things can happen quickly!) I knew I wanted to write a self-help book based on the 18 years of self-study I have undertaken in personal development and, for some reason, I became stuck on the idea of magnetism. Then, one morning in January 2009, I woke up, grabbed the nearest notebook and began to write Magnetic Me! It was finished within 3 days. On reflection, I did it all a bit back to front because I didn't know who I was writing it for or what I was going to do with it once I had finished and I must admit entertaining for a very short while the thought that my writing skills would not be good enough - I quickly snapped out of that!

I think the Magnetic Me! books have something for everyone, but as my passion and purpose is to ensure my children are given every opportunity to reach their fullest potential, it has been designed to appeal to all young people aged 6 upwards. My greatest desire is to help them avoid the pitfalls so many suffer in ignorance by simply entertaining thoughts that do not create health, peace and joy. Parents have protested to me that it is important that children learn from their failures and that is true. They should learn from THEIR OWN failures, unfortunately, many of our children are being subjected to the failures of parents, teachers and others in positions of authority, such that instead of progressing in great leaps and bounds, mistakes are repeated generation after generation as history repeats itself.

This is a time for us all to take a look in the mirror and take responsibility for our own creations, to make better choices, to choose better thoughts for ourselves and to create a better future for our children. It is also time to put away judgements about children who appear to be 'troublesome' and to recognise that they may be the innocent products of their environment and their experiences to date.

Well, that's what I think, what about you?
