Once upon a time I was sat at the kitchen table at Grannyma’s writing stories on the back of Christmas cards with my sister, Libla. I thought to myself, I’m going to write a book.
Thirty years later and here we are…I’ve actually gone and done it!
It may not be a book about a donkey and all his friends (like my stories often were back then) but it’s a book that’s going to help you live your best life and figure out what you want YOUR story to be!
Just Be You (my first book of hopefully many) is a self-help book containing 366 unique prompts, one for each day of the year, as well as six additional prompts intended to be repeated daily for maximum self-love success. That’s 7 prompts, everyday!
Throughout my two years of journaling and self-reflection (as well as my ‘dear diary’ stint when I was a kid), I started noticing what was thought-provoking and what wasn’t working at all. That’s when I decided to put my own book of prompts together.
This book-writing journey has been exciting, overwhelming, intimidating, fun and soooo full of surprises! I’m a dreamer and an optimist and I don’t usually see hurdles until I’m right there and feeling the struggle. I’m grateful for that attitude though, because by the time I get there, I know I can’t give up and I find a way to keep going.
Asking for help hasn’t always been easy for me, but I have learnt that life is much easier if you do ask and accept the help. On this occasion, one of my clients, Kat Flannery, an author and book-writing mentor, came to my rescue. She is guiding me through all the book publishing stuff that I didn’t even know existed. I know I could have fumbled my way through the overwhelm myself, but Kat’s guidance has saved me so much time, effort and grey hairs!
I am excited to finally share my book with you all and celebrate its launch…but mostly, I’m excited to support and celebrate YOU as you discover who you are.
Let me know in the comments below…will you be joining me at the launch?
