New Author's Collection of Thoughts Offers Path to Peace in Turbulent Times

Driving the back roads, Timothy Hedrick takes readers on an unexpected journey of reflection and discovery.

2011-11-25

CINNAMINSON, NJ, November 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) Author and CEO of Sunray Group, Timothy Hedrick returns with a new anthology of personal essays, A Collection of Thoughts (121 pp., Infinity Publishing, $10.95). The book builds on the success of Hedrick's 2009 release, A Fulfilled Life, with a series of personal essays that both entertain and inspire.
Hedrick's style is poetic, yet accessible, using everyday language and observations to explore the deeper questions of life in the 2000s. With a love of nature and a gift for unexpected twists, Hedrick offers no clear-cut answers to the questions he poses. Instead, Tim sets the stage for his readers and inspires them to think, imagine and grow.

"Today, more than at any time I can recall, we are surrounded by conflict, stress and even fear. We find it in our families, our communities, our country and the world at large, says Hedrick. With A Collection of Thoughts, I wanted to remind people of the beauty and wonder that surrounds us in our everyday thoughts, travels and experiences. My hope is that through my observations, readers will be inspired to rediscover the simple pleasures and surprises in their own lives.

The concept for the book came to Tim on a beautiful fall day during a drive through the scenic back roads of southeastern Pennsylvania. He began with a series of essays based on his own life experiences that were regularly posted on the Sunray Group web site. Soon he was receiving ideas from friends and fans that became the inspiration for many of the book's subsequent essays.
"In many ways, I consider A Collection of Thoughts to be a collaboration between myself and my audience, said Hedrick. I hope they enjoy what I have created with them... and for them." A Collection of Thoughts is currently available on Amazon.com.
ISBN 0-7414-6667-8
