Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

Ok, folks! Here’s the news some of you have been waiting for!

The Kindle edition of my book which regularly sells for $9.99 will be totally free — for one day only — on Wednesday, April 17th!

Set an alarm (or reminder) on your phone right now for April 17th. And then tell anyone you care about that my book will be free.

This is a $10 gift from me to you — or from you to anyone you care about. I want people who wouldn’t ordinarily be able to afford my book — or who wouldn’t otherwise know it exists — to have a chance to read it. Because that’s what authors want — READERS! And I poured my heart into this book with the hope it would provide value to people.

If you’re thinking, “I don’t own a Kindle device.”, you don’t have to! The Kindle app can be installed on any phone, tablet, or computer, too.

You might also be wondering how I’ll make any money if I give my book away for free? The truth is, I don’t. I don’t make a cent.

But one potential benefit I do get is more great reviews to help solidify the solid rating my book already has and more positive word of mouth that will hopefully lead to more book sales later.

And one final thing to observe is that the paperback edition is truly the ideal version of my book because it’s intended to be “dipped into”, but the ebook is a great introduction and has all the same information.

I’m hoping that those who love the ebook may actually want to help support my work by upgrading to the print edition. And that would be awesome.

One last thing, if you already own my book — and you enjoyed it — please take a moment to leave a review. I’d really, really, really appreciate it.

In summary:

My book will be free on Wednesday April 17th. Set a reminder or an alarm and tell everyone you care about (please). Text your friends. Call your family. Share this news on social media. Just help me let people know about this news. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

I will actually have more cool news soon! If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel. If you like my book, you’re going to enjoy my youtube videos.

May the love you put into what you do always find its way back to you,

Stand behind your work

If people want to appreciate you for something you’ve created – even if you see flaws in it – let them. It is entirely OK to be appreciated & recognized for the things you create even if you’re better now than you were when you created them.

Don’t disparage your work just because you can see flaws in it. If it’s obvious to you what you could have done better, that’s proof you’ve grown. And that’s something to be proud of. And if you created something that people admire, that’s something to be proud of, too.

Don’t deny yourself the recognition for previous accomplishments just because you’ve improved in the time since you accomplished them.
