Every once in a while, Opportunity knocks and you know that not only do you need to open the door wide…you need to grab her, give her a welcoming hug, invite her to dinner and use your best china!
I was sitting at my desk at the end of March and, at the exact moment that I thought to myself, ”I must get my book written NOW”, I received an email from a friend that invited Authors and Aspiring Authors to take part in “The Next Top Spiritual Author” competition. Wow…another serendipitous moment that sent chill bumps all over my body!
Ever since I created Gratitude Boot Camp last year and started sharing it as a coaching program, I have been led to put it into book form so that millions can benefit from learning how to make gratitude a daily habit. During the first Gratitude Boot Camp session I watched, in awe, as people’s lives were transformed, personally and professionally. After speaking at a Law of Attraction Meetup, I was approached by a woman who told me that I had given her the strength to continue after losing her son 8 months before. My story had inspired her to be grateful for the time that she had him and to focus on her current blessings. That is when I decided to include some of my personal story, in my book, along with the steps needed to create a life filled with happiness, love, peace, success, and abundance.
The Next Top Author Competition started on March 29th. It is comprised of four rounds where Authors share their books with a panel of publishing experts and with the public. In the final round, the Grand Prize Winner will receive a publishing contract with Hampton Roads Publishing. I am excited to present my upcoming book, Gratitude Habit, as an entry. Please visit http://sn.im/TopAuthor to watch the video pitch of my book; read the book proposal and read Chapter 1. While you are there, be sure and vote!
There were 2800 Authors who competed in Round 1 and 271 advanced to Round 2. I am so honored to be one of them and am grateful for everyone’s support. I finished uploading my book proposal and Chapter 1 last night, just as the Season Finale’ of American Idol was ending. I thought to myself “How exciting! I feel like I am involved in ‘The American Idol for Authors’!!
Welcome Home, Opportunity! I’ve been waiting for you my entire life!!
