 2012

The Competitor in Me is now available for ereaders on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and available on iBooks any moment. Thank you to all the readers who have supported me and given me feedback. I love hearing your success stories!


Last month, I wrote about surrendering to get what you really want. Publishing The Competitor in Me, my first nonfiction, had everything to do with surrender. I had this idea that being an indie author (that’s the fun way of saying an independent author) was the life for someone else. Someone with far more time than me, more money than me, and more resources than me. I had this false hope that things would work out a different way. I can’t explain what way, but being an indie author was for other people.


Then a friend set me straight. Aside from some very inspirational encouragement, he showed me where to put my energy to make the greatest impact. More importantly, he showed me the flaws in my current way of doing things. That was my ah-ha moment! I became hopeless about my current plan and was then receptive to change. I was willing to hear his reasons why I could be an indie author, too.


This world is no longer just for someone else. It’s for me, too. My dream to inspire people is coming true. If I can do it, there is no doubt in my mind that you can do it, too! I challenge you to find new ways to grow. End something so you can make room for new growth.


I’ll stick to my roots but I’m going to do a ton of growing this year!
