LIFE BETWEEN THE MOMENTS - ALONE ON THE ROAD
Moving on without holding on - letting go, inner calm and a personal new beginning.
Volume 1 of the series "Our Lifetime"
I was sitting at an outdoor table, reading one of my books. The morning was calm. Behind me, the sea. In front of me, nothing but that small car park on the edge of Auckland.
Then a Māori man sat down on the loading ramp of my motorhome.
His entire body was tattooed, and he was eating from a bag of crisps.
When our eyes met, he came over and started talking to me.
“You don’t sit with your backside where other people eat,” he said.
“All right, I didn’t know that,” I replied, climbed down and grabbed Rosie by the collar.
Suddenly, he kicked me in the thigh.
This book is about such moments.
A life on the road.
Without a fixed plan.
Without the constant need to arrive somewhere.
Life Between the Moments is not a traditional self-help book, but a thoughtful book about mindfulness, inner calm, stress relief and conscious living in a busy world. It explores how to let go of anxiety, quiet overthinking, regain mental clarity and begin again – without pressure, without self-optimisation and without rigid rules.
Blending themes such as mindfulness, self-discovery, minimalism, emotional healing and personal growth, this book offers genuine observations from a life on the road. It is about finding your own path, creating peace of mind, releasing what no longer serves you and reconnecting with yourself.
Whether you are facing burnout, life change, emotional exhaustion or simply the feeling that something is missing, these pages create space for reflection, calm and a different pace of living.
