Ready to Write Your First Book?

For the month of August 2017, I'm offering a limited number of FREE Write Your First Book 30-minute Laser Coaching calls. 😊

This is for you Lady Bosses and Mompreneurs struggling to make that jump from “wish-I-could-be-an-author” to actual Book Writer.📚

Maybe you've got an idea for a story, but you have spent way too many hours thinking about writing a book, hoping and praying for inspiration to strike, or for time to free up in your schedule.

Or maybe you know what you're meant to do, but you are struggling with how to turn that story into an actual book people are begging you to read.

Either way, you need some clarity, and fast.

If you're so ready to:

* Finally have a step-by-step action plan to get that story inside of you out to the world, instead of spending your time doing everything for everyone else in your life

* Get clarity on how to create a time to write in your schedule so quickly, the words start flying out of your head and onto the screen

* Be confident that you've GOT what it takes to become an author (and a good one at that!)

Then let's talk! 🙋🏾

“Hey, this summer, when you’re being inundated with this American bicentennial 4th of July brouhaha, don’t forget what you’re celebrating:

that’s the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn’t want to pay their taxes.”

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 🇻🇮

"My mother always said,"

"'Be careful what you wish for, because you'll get it. And then people will get jealous and try to take it away from you."

"I don't think that's how that goes."


(Apparently, I originally created this post in April of 2010, but I never clicked the Publish button. Even stranger, I watched every season of Mad Men, from series premiere to series finale. What a less #woke time for me. I know Mad Men wasn't as bad as Entourage, but still. It was a different ((not really)) time.)

This is not a story about how to find a husband.

I want to make that clear, because

1. Not everybody needs a husband. Most people don't.

2. This story is about much more than that.

3. I don't want to write a story telling you how to find a husband! There are already plenty of relationship coaches and matchmakers and weird old men out there telling women (and men) how to find a husband. That's not what this is about.

Steve Harvey, I'm looking at you.

Back to my story.

In January of 2010, I was broken up with. Okay, calling it a break up would be generous. I was swiftly rejected by someone whom I thought I was going to have a relationship with. I was devastated. And I still had to get through my final semester of business school, an experience that also did not live up to my expectations.
