“In a way, you’ve already won in this world. Because you’re the only one who can be you.” –Fred Rogers.
As I am writing my fourth book, “I Don’t Want to Be Like You,” which holds as strong anti-bullying message, I’m realizing that the best thing we can do for anyone is to let them be themselves. It’s been such a blessing this past month working with people I truly like—because they are unique! This month I’m helping a man write his memoir, doing some writing for R&S Landscaping (newsletters and updating their FaceBook page) (https://www.rscape.com/), and continuing with bookings for my presentations (see below).
So many great things happened last month. I got to speak on behalf of the Coalition for the Human Condition (https://www.facebook.com/Coalition-For-The-Human-Condition-209170233169424/) about anti-bullying at Montville High School.
I debuted my Meet Your Soulmate workshop at Soulshine (https://www.soulshinecrystals.com/)
And, I was honored to be a guest on Maryann Castello’s “Health & Wellness Show.” Maryann was an awesome host. We spoke about my career, my three books (and upcoming book), music, health, and so much more! You can watch the whole episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS3w8p-4nIk&feature=youtu.be
