1. What inspired you to write the book?
My work as a life coach is primarily
with women, and I know that women can be really tough on themselves. I wanted
to write a book that would inspire women and make them realize how powerful
they are. I wanted to give them ideas about happiness and joy that they may not
have thought about before.
2. When did you realise that you want to
write a book?
When I realized that I had knowledge,
wisdom and compassion to share. I knew that I had helped a lot of women over
the years, and I wanted to share what I had learned with other women.
3. Who helped you in writing the book
and please say about their contributions?
My editor, Gina Mazza, was incredible!
Her editing helped me say what I wanted to say in a clear, helpful fashion.
4. How is your book going to inspire the
readers?
Each day, I have written a message that
women can relate to about their health and self care, and all the daily tasks
we do as women. Then I include a Happy Action so that they will know how to use
the message to make their lives easier and happier
5. If you are given the chance to change
one thing in your book what would it be?
Actually, this is the 2nd edition,
(revised and expanded) of Happy on Purpose Daily Messages of Empowerment and
Joy for Women, so I have already made all the changes I wanted to make. I took
out unnecessary repetition and tightened up my messages. I also made the cover
happier
6. How do you find time to write and
which part of the day is best for writing for you?
I like to allow one full day a week for
writing, and that day is Monday. I find it easier to know when I can work. I
also,jot thoughts and ideas down any time I think of them. Morning is always
best for me to get anything done from exercising to writing.
7. Which books have inspired you the
most, in the journey of writing this book?
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, On Writing
by Stephen King, Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg, Women Who Run With
the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
8. What is the best advice, you would
give for writers who are trying to write a book?
Write as much as possible and as
consistently as possible, and read good writing. Also, get a professional editor.
9. What are your hobbies?
My hobbies are reading, writing, and
exercising. I do other activities but those are my top three.
10. What can we expect from you in the
future?
Hopefully more writing to help women,
and if I can settle down, a novel.
