You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

My book 'The Spirituality of Incarceration'

The Spirituality of Incarceration is written with a vision to create a new perspective and insight into the prison system. The aim is to provide those incarcerated with positive tools and practical guidance to consciously walk along their spiritual paths and to find peace within themselves through awareness of the bigger, universal picture surrounding our human existence. Through the personal perspectives and experiences of both those in prison and those on the outside who have friends in prison, the book provides an awareness and understanding of the introspection and ensuing positive transformations prison can bring to a person. Also acknowledging that the present prison system is detrimental to all concerned, The Spirituality of Incarceration serves as a means of offering a more unified and balanced way forward for mankind as a whole, as we enter times of huge spiritual growth and awareness.

“Set Me Free” is the unique true story of Jerry Hamilton, a prisoner in the United States of America. Having been declared the ringleader of a serious prison riot in 1985, Jerry is eventually banished from his home state of Oklahoma to the tortuous solitary lockups of the Texas penal system. A chance request to a magazine for a free subscription leads to his befriending via correspondence dozens of “free world” people. Many become interested in his plight, but when one woman in particular promises to move mountains for him she couldn’t have imagined the extent to which she would be drawn into his world. Sharon, a British citizen sets out on a roller coaster journey to understand Jerry’s Situation. Armed with her growing knowledge, the couple face discrimination and retaliation by “professionals” within the Oklahoma Department of Corrections as she tries to help Jerry move forward in positive ways. Not just a love story, “Set Me Free” takes the reader on a journey spanning three decades climaxing in the breath taking truth behind his transfer out of state. If you would like a deeper insight into the real world behind bars, we recommend that you read this book.To download this inspirational human story please click on this link:www.bindy.id.au/set_me_free.pdf
