I had always wanted to be a published author and this is my second story that I have had published in a book. The first story published was about my struggle to regain the use of my right hand after a fall in my classroom at the end of the school year which almost derailed my ability to ever play the piano again back in 2002. I wrote it at the request of my occupational therapist who was amazed at my determination to make a full recovery. It was accepted into a book called, Ordinary Miracles, True Stories About Overcoming Obstacles & Surviving Catastrophes. It was edited by Deborah Labovitz. I really didn’t tell anyone about my first story being published. That will not be the case from now on. To be able to inspire others, I learned that you need to share your story as your adversity could end up being someone else’s survival guide.
I am so happy to be included in the fourth book, Women Who Impact in Kate Butler’s #1 International Bestselling Inspired Impact Series. I then went on to write a story in Women Who Shine which also became a #1 International Bestselling Book on Amazon. In 2019, I wrote my first children’s book, Never Mind the Monkey Mind which was published on February 23, 2022 and became a #1 International Bestselling Book.
This upcoming fall, I will have another story in my publisher’s Inspired Impact Series, Leading With Legacy. I was so honored and humbled to be nominated by the co-authors in the series as one of the most inspirational authors.Thank you to my publisher Kate Butler who has helped me find the courage to be visible!
