?????????????????????????? I am absolutely thrilled! February 20th is just around the corner, and that’s the day “Our Forgotten Children” book finally makes its way into the world. It’s an exhilarating time as I’m in the final stretch, meticulously finalizing all the details. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about seeing a dream transform into reality, especially when it blossoms into something even grander than I had initially imagined. This journey, from the first spark of an idea to a tangible book that others can experience, has been nothing short of amazing. It’s a testament to the power of persistence, creativity, passion and collaborations. As I prepare for the launch, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement, and appreciation of all the authors and publisher who have shared their wisdom. I can’t wait to share this labor of love with everyone. The countdown to February 20th is on!

Podcasts, Pod-Books, my book and more, how to keep up.
I have just had my Authors summit for the Our Forgotten Children book series. I was illuminating, the authors shared their chapter and the organizations they are supporting, and truly it was so enlightening and fulfilling.
This book will be out LATE February along with the summit, and following that will be Ask the Authors platform, where you can ask the authors about their chapter and expertise.
I have the Mentors Directory,?which soon will include being on ROKU TV+ and also?offering Ask the Mentors platform.
Our next book is on Coaches and what they offer, and I am personally in 4 books by June.
So as I juggle all these balls, and hope not to drop any, I will also keep bring you fabulous people of illumination on the podcasts. So hold tight, so much more to come.

Well here we are, 2024, so far it has been filled with a nasty RSV virus which went through the whole family, but that is not going to hold me back, I have things to accomplish in 2024.
It was not a great start to a new year; the RSV virus rapid, my nose blocked, my chest coughing, I was tired, etc., but I have things to do, so virus, you have had your day, and it is time for me to get going.
I published my own book last year, just an e-book for now, paperback and audio coming. I have had a really nice feedback on it, and that is a nice feeling. Now time for the next book Our Forgotten Children series. I have a Authors summit to do this week, create all their authors page, and finalize the book to go to the publisher. If all goes well and no more delays, the book will be out by the end of February.
I am in two more anthology books, coming out soon, plus starting the Ask the Authors platform. So there is no time for sickness, but production. Although I know, that if I do not allow for healing, it will prolong the illness and slow me down even more.
So when we get these rude interruptions, how do we manage them? First, allow the first 24 hours of illness or chaos to reveal its self, then access what the best action is.
Step one: If ill, rest, water, sleep. If you are sick, you are not good to anyone, so look after yourself. I know it is hard when you have obligations, but delegate, postpone, and allow yourself through the?first 48 hours at least to get over the hump.
Step Two: If it is a delay, interruption or flat out crisis in your business, do not react until you have taken a breath, walked away to recalibrate, and calmed down so you can access the issue without panic. You can not think straight while in a crisis mode, so go do what you need to do so you an come back calm and clear and then you will see a solution to the problem.
Step Three: Delegate; passing something on that you cannot deal with now is ok. If there is no one to pass on to, then postpone; if people need help understanding, do you want them as clients anyway? Do not compromise yourself to please someone else.
Step Four: If it can’t be done today, there is always tomorrow. I know this all too well. Things pile up even though you thought you had paced them well, haha; a traffic jam is now on your plate, and you feel panicked about it. Could you put off what is not urgent and address what needs to be addressed right now? Then, with the next item, you will get it all done without panic and with more clarity.
These are my new year tips. it is where I am right now. A head full of cold, but projects to deal with. So I do what I can bit by bit, and allow my self to rest, recoup and renew my energy to get fully back in the game.
It is ok to say NO, To Postpone, To delegate, to redirect. If you push yourself too hard, you will accomplish nothing.
So happy New Year to everyone, may 2024 be kind to us and may we fulfill the dreams we have for this year with some ease.

Well, the time has come – my book is finally out, albeit currently just in e-book format. It’s an odd feeling, putting your life’s story down on paper. Reading it back feels like reliving my journey, with each page turning into a surprising exploration of my past.
Originally, my plan was to record everything and then transcribe it, but instead, I took a three-week break from work and just let my fingers do the talking. My story flowed out naturally. This seems to be a recurring theme in my life; I often start with one plan in mind, but then my soul takes over, steering me in a different, yet invariably a better, direction.
Now that my book is out there for anyone to read, it feels like it’s no longer just mine. It’s a liberating feeling, though. And soon, it won’t just be an e-book – I’m working on getting it published in paperback and as an audio version too.
I’ve reached a point where I’m at peace with not knowing how my book will be received. I’ve learned to let go of that concern. After all, we can only be true to ourselves, and it’s up to others whether they see us for who we are. How my book is interpreted and what readers take from it is beyond my control. My hope is that by sharing my own journey from self-discovery to living soulfully, I might inspire or help someone else on their path. If my experiences and reflections can open even one door for someone else on their soul journey, then sharing my story will have been worth it.
I have put together another anthology called Our Forgotten Children, filled with authors who have dedicated their lives to our children and know the changes needed for them to grow in life.

This is a senior community book where we come together to illuminate the path for others to walk on. I have openings for senior authors who wish to share their wisdom.

It’s that joyful time of year again—December has arrived, bringing with it a whirlwind of festive cheer and excitement! Everywhere you look, the spirit of Christmas is in full swing. The streets and shops are bustling with people eagerly engaged in their holiday shopping, each person hunting for the perfect gifts to surprise their loved ones. Kitchens are alive with the delightful aromas of baking, as families and friends come together to create delicious treats and share cherished recipes.
In the midst of all this, we’re also wrapping up important tasks. Businesses are busy closing out the year, finalizing projects, and setting the stage for a prosperous new year. Parents are proudly watching their children complete another successful school year, reflecting on the growth and achievements made.
And then, amidst all this delightful chaos, there’s the balancing act we all perform—juggling the demands of daily life with the added excitement and responsibilities of the holiday season. It’s a hectic time, but it’s filled with joy, warmth, and the priceless opportunity to create lasting memories with those we hold dear.
I am Celebrating two daughters’ birthdays around Christmas and it certainly adds an extra layer of excitement and joy to our December! It’s wonderful to embrace this bustling time with such a positive spirit. Balancing their special days with the Christmas festivities is indeed a unique challenge, but we can handle it with care and love.
Ensuring that each daughter feels special on her birthday is crucial, especially when it’s so close to Christmas. It’s important to separate their birthday gifts from Christmas presents, so each occasion feels distinct and equally celebrated. This thoughtful approach shows that the birthday their special days matters to us.
To manage the financial and emotional aspects of this busy season, it’s helpful to plan ahead. Budgeting for gifts and celebrations in advance can ease the financial strain. Maybe consider setting aside a separate budget for each daughter’s birthday and Christmas, so you can track expenses more effectively.
To avoid burnout, remember to take some time for yourself amidst the preparations. Self-care is vital during busy times like these. Delegate tasks where you can, and don’t hesitate to simplify plans if it helps maintain your well-being and enjoyment of the season. Think Pot-Luck dishes, they are so much fun.
I often speak of loneliness on my shows, especially during the holiday season. Loneliness can indeed have a profound impact on individuals, and your effort to bring awareness and support to those who might be feeling isolated or forgotten is commendable to any and all of you.
There are several ways you can reach out and make a difference:
Community Events: Organizing or participating in community events that are specifically designed to include those who might be alone during the holidays can be a great way to show you care. This could be a communal meal, a holiday concert, or a simple get-together.
Volunteering: Offering your time at shelters, soup kitchens, or senior centers can have a big impact. It’s not just about the physical help but also about showing those who are alone that they are valued and remembered.
Outreach Programs: Working with local charities and organizations to create outreach programs for the homeless or those living alone can help bring warmth and companionship to their lives. This could include delivering holiday meals, care packages, or personal notes.
Media Platform: Since you’ve mentioned doing shows on the subject, using your media platform to discuss the issue of loneliness during the holidays can raise awareness. You can share stories, provide resources, and encourage listeners to reach out in their communities.
Personal Gestures: Sometimes, a small personal gesture can make a big difference. This could be as simple as visiting a neighbor, sending a card, or making a phone call to someone who might be spending the holidays alone.
Remember, the key is to show genuine care and make a heartfelt connection. Even the smallest act of kindness can bring a great deal of comfort and joy to someone who is feeling isolated.
Let’s embrace this festive season with open arms, cherishing each moment, and spreading the joy and love that this time of year is all about. Happy December!
Here’s to a delightful and memorable December filled with birthday cakes, Christmas cheer, and lots of love!
