Where have I been? A letter to my readers.

Dear readers, I have missed you a lot. I’ve been absent  because my life had been in a complete emotional upheaval and I didn’t have the energy or focus to give you my best.

 

Since my last book was published,  I have gone through many changes in my life. In 2012, I dealt with marital upheaval and had to examine if my marriage was worth saving. In 2016, a long lost family member resurfaced and brought me face to face with a very, dark and painful memory that I thought I’d buried forever. In 2018, my husband passed away unexpectedly and showed me how alone a person can feel in this world. When the pandemic hit, my family and I were still grieving the loss of head of our family and as a result, we couldn’t seem to love each other the way that we needed to.  As 2022 came around, the clouds from my grieving lifted and I regained the strength to eliminate toxicity and distractions, putting me on the path where I am today. 

 

Everyone goes through changes, heartache and loss. I hope that the time I’ve spent away from you has made me a better writer, a more sensitive person, and a more loving human being. The years have taught me to appreciate all blessings big and small. 

 

From the outside, everything in may life may have appeared to be going swell. But I assure you, we cannot judge a book by its cover, especially when the person is an author. I wouldn’t wish my heartbreaks and loss on anyone. But, I would wish for you to have the strength to embrace your days with love and zest. For it isn’t over until it’s over. 

 

I hope you continue to believe in me as I believe in you. Thank you for being a part of my tribe. 

 

My latest book, Start Your Day with a Win: Available Now!

I’ve always been open about my issues with depression but I haven’t always said how it has caused me to procrastinate and lose sight –at times–of the larger goals at hand. 

 

For example, I wrote this book last year and it has taken me a while to get my head and everything together to finally share it with my tribe. 

The good news is I’m in life changing therapy which is allowing me to create better tools for dealing with depression and procrastination and I’m finally convinced it’s time to share them with you. 

 

I’m also proud to say that this book is available as part of a digital course. It’s my first digital course and I’m absolutely thrilled by what people are going to learn and how their lives will be impacted.
