Andrea Hayes launches her new book, My Life Goals Journal, at Farrier & Draper

Last night’s snow falling was no impediment for the huge crowd who turned out to launch bestselling author Andrea Hayes’ second book, My Life Goals Journal, at Farrier & Draper in Powerscourt Townhouse Centre.

Andrea was supported by her husband David, a raft of family and friends, as well as her TV colleagues Pete Wedderburn (Pete the Vet), Jenny Buckley, Siobhan O’Connor and fellow authors Sinéad Moriarty and Claudia Carroll. Also in attendance were Mr. Pussy Alan Ambsby, Kym Smith (daughter to Jean Ann Kennedy Smith, a sister of President John F. Kennedy, she served as United States Ambassador to Ireland from 1993 to 1998) and, just in from New York, performance artist Penny Arcade, who’s now been performing for five decades and has worked with Andy Warhol, Jack Smith, and Quentin Crisp. She’s currently touring a show called Longing Lasts Longer at Edinburgh Fringe.

There was no evidence of a dry January as the prosecco flowed and Andrea wished the 200 strong crowd the very best for 2017. Launching the book Brendan Courtney described the ‘life-changing’ My Life Goals Journal as the perfect way to get the new year off to a good start with its beautifully designed pages for setting out your dreams for the year ahead and a strategy for making them happen.

My Life Goals Journal is a practical and inspirational month-by-month guide to achieving your intentions. It will help you to visualize and add structure to your goals, challenge yourself to positively influence your life and declutter your mind to find wellness. In it, Andrea Hayes sets out a step-by-step strategy to help you identify your true goals, find clarity and peace in a busy world and work towards achieving the life you want, one small step at a time.

Over twelve months this journal will take you through a series of stages from self-improvement and goal setting to a place where you can play an active part in controlling your life. At each step you can see how Andrea’s own story progressed in extracts from her own journal, helping you to shift your mindset and create the life you want over the course of a year.

Beautifully illustrated, with notes pages to record your thoughts, this journal is your indispensable companion to a more focused, positive life —starting today.
