Dreams, Mysteries & Magic; a True StoryA beautiful spiritual journey, of adventure and romance.Often compared to Eat, Pray, Love, this is a true story of an Australian woman of 53, who has the courage to embrace change in every area of her life. Storing her old belongings in bubble wrap, Johnson ventures off into the unknown, to create her dream life; living in idyllic locations in England and travelling solo around Europe during many of her holidays. Dreams, Mysteries & Magic is full of synchronicities and surprises. It shows what can happen if you escape from your familiar, and often boring, (comfort) zone, following your heart and your intuition. True life really can be stranger and more wonderful than fiction.Readers will find travel tips, ideas on finding new jobs overseas, and how to be receptive to what the universe offers them.This book was written to encourage other mature single women to live their dreams. It has also proven popular with readers of all ages, male and female. Dreams, Mysteries & Magic is an uplifting memoir, told through the eyes of an artist and keen photographer.Reviews;"If Eat Pray Love's Elizabeth Gilbert was a bit more spiritually aware, she might have written a book like Dreams, Mysteries and Magic. Aussie author Wendy Johnson is 53 years old when she decides to up stumps and travel around England, Europe and the Middle East. Johnson who is also an artist and photographer, is a seeker who isn't afraid to try everything from auras to meditation to mediums. Romance is also high on the list. Filled with Johnson's paintings and travel snaps, Dreams, Mysteries and Magic charts a fascinating personal journey that will appeal to open minded readers."Verdict: magical mystery tourColin Vickery, Herald Sun Weekend, Oct 8 2011'An inspirational, thought provoking, motivational book.

Love the action packed short chapters, just a few pages in bed at night, perfect. Cheers for now,' Janet.'Dearest Wendy, I got your book through Steven whom you met in Sydney at Quantum Change.After a few pages, reading it had become an addiction and I was sorry when I got to the end, even though it was a beautiful end, (and I hope it is still a beautiful present).I want to thank you deeply for the journey that you have offered me with your pages.It has been really amazing to see Great Britain through your eyes, through your love for the beauty, passion for life and the openness to experience each face of it.I hope one day to go back (I was in GB 40 years ago), and to have"your eyes and .........." to appreciate each corner of the green fairy country. For sure your book will be for me the "Lonely Planet Great Britain." Thank you again and much love,' Lucia
