Can you believe it has been two days since the release?! It's been a whirlwind and I feel so many emotions...

Gratitude. Relief. Inspired. Even baffled. 

You really love my story 🥹

Honestly, the love and support have me in a chokehold. I'm ready to tackle my next project, but most of all, I feel a deep clarity in my purpose. 

The tagline for By Hook or By Crook is: "Sometimes destiny demands more than we are willing to give."

Most of us follow the world's perception of what we are "supposed" to do. Go to college, start careers, start a family...but then sometimes the universe shows us something different. I don't know about you, but I'm immediately like, "Nah!" 

(That's my inner Black Horse voice)

Change is hard. 

However, on the other side of that is growth. Be uncomfortable. Sit in all the ugly, the tingly feelings, the itchiness, and even sometimes pain. Give it its due process... and then build on it. Heal from it. Be YOU! 

Anyway, let me stop getting all sappy on you. I gotta tell you a few things. 

Give Away

I announced at my release party on TikTok (thank you to all who came 😍) that I will do another giveaway for a signed copy of By Hook or By Crook. But I'm gonna do you one even better...

I'm also adding a signed copy of Ev'ry Goodbye Ain't Gone. So the winner will receive a signed copy of BOTH books. 🎉
