I want to thank you again for supporting my book campaign. For the past three days, I have found myself holding my hand to my heart and whispering thank you every time I see new pre-orders from all of you. 

Honestly, I almost gave up on this book. Rewind about two years ago: I drafted an outline for a book that was about self care and creativity. I was writing down my stories and wisdom that I was learning on my journey.  I ended up having some major doubts about why I was writing this. I doubted if I had anything to share that would be helpful. I was comparing myself to other more established wellness/self care thought leaders and of course, feeling deflated. So, I  abandoned the project and let the file sit in my Google drive unattended.

 During the pandemic, I renewed my commitment to doing wellness work again. I started to offer micro-retreats, which are specially curated workshops that make space or people to practice self care and cultivate creativity. I felt the spark again. I realized that I had a unique voice and story to share that could serve others. I shifted my focus on being of service and things began to flow different. I became less wary of making mistakes. I became more receptive to opportunities. 

Imagine my surprise when an agent from Publishizer reached out to me about finishing the manuscript of my book about self care is wellness!  I knew this was time to renew my interest in writing this book. This was a sign that I was moving in the right direction. 

And your support of my book is yet another signpost on this journey that I find myself taking right now. 

Thank you for being the village that is helping me raise this book and grow it into something that is going to be pretty special.
