This book was originally written beginning two months before my husband and I were married and completed as a gift for him on our 1st Anniversary. Since then a 20-Year Follow-up, 25-Year Follow-up with Travel and Adventure including photos, Poetry, and Pearls of Wisdom sections have been added. The book is written in a fun, flow of consciousness "diary-type" style format and was meant as a 25th Anniversary Gift. It contains effective actions that make a loving relationship work in real-time. It is written from experience and from the heart, combining love and romance with spirituality, travel, and adventure! With all the discord in the world lately, the invisible warrior Covid-19 of 2020, nightly protesting, shootings, and rioting, I decided to share it with the public. This was done in the hope that it may inspire, give ideas, or help someone to have an incentive to believe in true love and create a reality for their own dreams to come true. Perhaps then, they too can pass it on to help the world become a brighter place.
Matthew Dennison's elegant and magisterial biography of Her late Majesty, updated following the death of Elizabeth II and the accession of King Charles III. 'A worthy and balanced overview of the Queen's life. Dennison is especially good on her childhood... quietly, tactfully, tastefully reverent.'The Times The death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022 was more than just a moment of profound sadness; her passing marked the end of an era in our national life – and the final closing of the Elizabethan Age. For millions of people, both in Britain and across the world, Elizabeth II was the embodiment of monarchy. Her long life spanned nearly a century of national and global history, from a time before the Great Depression to the era of Covid-19. Her reign embraced all but seven years of Britain's postwar history up to the accession of her son King Charles III; she was served by fifteen UK prime ministers from Churchill to Truss, and witnessed the administrations of fourteen US presidents from Truman to Biden. In this brand-new biography of the longest-reigning sovereign in British history, Matthew Dennison traces her life and reign across an era of unprecedented and often seismic social change. Stylish in its writing and nuanced in its judgements, The Queen charts the joys and triumphs as well as the disappointments and vicissitudes of a remarkable royal life; it also assesses the achievement of a woman regarded as the champion of a handful of 'British' values endorsed – if no longer practised – by the bulk of the nation: service, duty, steadfastness, charity and stoicism.
