I discovered that I like to read about 2 years ago. Weird, right? Until then, I maybe owned five books. Three were sales books and 2 were old books about stying my outfits. I almost feel sad confessing that.
When a little or a lot of the author’s story is woven into a self-help book, I can usually find some real pearls of wisdom and applications in my own life. If there is some good humor and a smattering of interesting author healthy challenges or life-changing experiences, I will often add it to the growing list of books I share with my clients, friends and family. I enjoy being a resource for others. This phenomenon called “helper's high” - helping others releases endorphins which, in turn, improves mood and boosts self-esteem. Win-Win!
As a way to continue facilitating my own healing and personal growth, I made the decision in March of 2023, to become an author. With sales of self-improvement books hitting 17.1 million in 2019, I figured most people didn’t need more self-help tools or trite suggestions. So, my goal with this book is to get people to feel emotionally connected and moved in a way that encourages them to reflect on, and enhance their lives, if the feel called to do so. Some people just like a fun and juicy story. I get that, too. For me, reading a well-written self-help memoir has become one of life’s greatest joys. Well, that and Yoga. And my dogs. And learning. And the ocean. Okay, I have quite an extensive "joy" list.
The release of my book is slated for early 2024.
