Sometimes, when you pause and look back, you see that you were moving toward your vision all along.

Hi There,

Sometimes, when you pause and look back on a series of events, you see that you were moving toward your vision all along.

For more than two decades, I’ve quietly held the vision of being a published author.

I didn’t know how I would get there, but looking back, I can see that many choices and projects led me here.

Here are just a few:

📘 Shortly after college, I followed the advice, “If you want to be a writer, you have to be a reader” which sparked an invitation to finally embrace reading wholeheartedly (something that never happened in school when I was assigned to read books).

📘 I wrote in my journal for years.

📘 I created a family blog in 2008 to document my transition to motherhood.

📘 I launched my business in 2013 and shared this newsletter to my community on professional and personal growth topics.

📘 I wrote drafts of a few children’s books.

📘 I acquired an old-school typewriter to sit on my bookshelf.
📘 I curated a cherished stack of books by authors I know personally, which inspires me daily.

📘 I joined writers’ circles, attended writers’ retreats, and carved “writers’ dates” out on my calendar.

📘 I met Michelle Savage, the woman who would become my first publisher, at a conference.

📘 And every vision board I’ve ever created has included my dream of becoming an author.

While the path to getting there wasn’t linear, I can now see how my choices, projects, and vision helped lead me to today, when I can finally say, “Yes, I am a bestselling author.”

In honor of achieving this personal and professional milestone, I want to share a little love with you!
