From the Back Cover:
We live in difficult times, for sure. But in this wise, inspiring book based in his personal experience, 80-year-old author and blogger Christopher Foster has an encouraging message to share.
With passion and an open heart he declares that aging can be a time of remarkable happiness as we learn to see this familiar rite of passage in a new light. He reminds us that while our body ages, our unconquerable spirit is ageless. He writes of the magic of little moments and the power of synchronicity. And he shows how challenges can help you grow and expand your borders, and discover the timeless wisdom and joy of your true nature.
About the Author:
Christopher Foster was born in London in 1932, son of a veteran British journalist. He wrote his first story at the age of 7 while bombs were falling all around the London apartment where he and his mother lived in the early days of WW11 while his Dad was overseas as a war correspondent.
Christopher is the author of five books including an inspirational fable, The Raven Who Spoke with God, self-published on 9/11 and later translated into 11 foreign language editions. "It soars, this is no ordinary bird, and no ordinary book," said the Sunday Oklahoman.
An only child, Christopher told his parents firmly at lunch one day that his goal in life was to find the true meaning of existence. It led to a fierce argument with his Dad who slapped the young dreamer across the face. Christopher followed in his father's footsteps as a reporter, working on newspapers in London, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), New Zealand, and Canada. His passion for meaning and truth took him to British Columbia, where he worked as a reporter on the Daily Colonist in Victoria and later met a British nobleman who changed his life.
Lord Martin Cecil -- a descendant of Lord Burghley, chief adviser to Queen Elizabeth I -- had resigned his commission in the Royal Navy to manage his father's cattle ranch in British Columbia. For 36 years, Christopher was a member of a spiritual community Lord Martin had established in the interior of BC. He thought it would be his home forever, but the community collapsed after the death of its leader and with virtually no material resources, he returned to the world he had abandoned in his youth. It was a brutal transition but it opened a door to a new, increasingly happy life.
Christopher lives with his wife JoAnn in Denver. He has a son, Durwin, in Vancouver. Christopher founded The Happy Seeker blog in 2009.
