Annie's Gift

ANNIES'S GIFT is the life of this Patterjack Terrier, recounted by Annie herself and through the eyes of some whose lives are affected by Annie's birthright.

The Gift touches many.

Ronald Tiptree was tragically widowed with three children and no clue what to do.

Tiffany Tisdale is a film extra approaching that age when false eye lashes and 38D cups no longer cut it.

Duncan MacLeod used to be a monk until it seemed his inattentive God was on Overload .

Debo MacLeod, Duncan's mother, lives in Chelsea with a thoughtful terrier.

Nick is the Clyde of Clyde and Tilley, the advertising agency.

Guy Stringer, Nick's creative director struggles under the influence of his three amigos Jim (Beam) Jack (Daniels) and Johnny (Walker).

Theo Castletown is the CEO of the Castletown Inns International Hotels.

Sarah Greenall has beautiful grey eyes, a smile that says everything in the world is fine, and a father who owns supermarkets.

Hekkie MacLeod has his finger on the pulse of his family, and some of the murkier areas of National Government.

Cops and Croatians, villains and vets, bullies and victims, druggies and Debo's Darling Mrs D - Annie's Gift touches many of THEM, the Wayward Human Race.

Hello, my name is David Ferrers. During the twenty five or more years that I have been a self-realisation coach (someone who assists people to become what they can become) I have helped thousands of people. They have come from many different walks of life. My task has been to enable them to discover their own sense of purpose and meaning so that they can release all the happiness, courage, confidence and power that has lain dormant within their beings.

Once you breech the dam that is holding you back all these good feelings just burst out from within you.

Can you imagine how good your life will be when you overcome your fears with courage, when you face intimidating people and situations with confidence, when you find within yourself the power to overcome any challenge, when you feel liberated, when you pass your days in a haze of happiness?

You were born to be happy, courageous, confident and powerful - so, what happened? Did you somehow manage to lose these important feelings somewhere along the road of life? No, it's not your fault. The feelings got submerged beneath a welter of instructions given to you during the early years of your life by people upon whom you depended and whom you trusted - your parents and teachers. They did not mean you any harm; they were doing what they thought was best for you. The way to understand what happened is like this: you are by nature curious, you like to explore, but when you explored as a smal...
