~Will you share a client success story?
One of my early reviewers told me that multiple points in my book have caused her to reevaluate her outlook in a positive way and change the way she does some things. She told me that in the last few weeks she has quoted lines from my book to her daughters as lessons to them on how to deal with some of their own challenges in their lives – and has done the same with her husband too!

Give back, or better yet pay it forward, in positive ways even when you are going through tough times – especially then. It is amazing how
showing kindness or being helpful to others can raise your own spirits! Accept that things are not perfect, focus on the positives, and contribute in every way you can.

Don’t let fear of failure hold you back. I feared this book might fail in multiple ways, and even worse I was terrified at times to reveal intimate details of my life. I felt I was exposing myself to ridicule and might embarrass myself irreparably. However, my experience already has been almost totally opposite. Writing this book, despite all my fears, has already opened up new dialogs and extended relationships with family and friends in wonderful ways. I have connected in meaningful and uplifting ways with reviewers who have never met me. It may be cliché, but the truth will set you free.
