I am honored to share that my story will be included in this anthology. Living implies coping with changes, those famous curves that life throws at us. Not everyone hits those curves the same way, but every single author in this book refused to dodge them. Meaningful experiences that change the trajectory of our lives are a part of everyone's journey. Changes we never see coming alter the way we see ourselves and undeniably reshape our way of being in this world. Whether it was a near-fatal accident, an addiction, a loss of one's voice, or unexpected motherhood, the authors of The Journey is the Gift: The Moment that Changed My Story not only survived life-changing challenges, but embody vibrant transformations as miraculous as the stories they tell. This book is not only an anthology but proof that our will to keep living and to thrive beyond just coping is itself the miracle.AuthorsRoberto AlfaroSusan EileenNatalie FriedlCrista SalvatoreCammie SmithSabrina VanDine SmithLisa Michelle UminaNatalie WintleScarlett Green-Wright

In an age of social distancing and the isolation of the cyber age, we have learned to communicate in short acronyms and one-word responses. What emotions are masked by the word "fine"? How often does it turn out that "fine" really doesn't mean fine? This book offers a unique, innovative, and clever approach to emotional growth and the vocabulary that comes with it. More importantly, it fosters the confidence that comes with self-acceptance. No matter how we are feeling, good or bad, we are indeed fine. It's all right to acknowledge our emotions, ride them out, and move on, continuing to interact with those we love.

Taking a break for the first time in my career to recharge, finish writing my children's book I started 20 years ago, write a screenplay I have an idea for, pick up geocaching again, maybe write a food allergy cookbook, find the perfect Lakehouse, binge-watch Yellowstone, finish re-watching LOST, and smell the flowers.
