You Are So Much More: Volume 2, you share with readers the trauma, your recovery, and the revelations resulting from your near-death experience. How did you decide what aspects of your experiences to include in Volume 2?

I believe in full transparency – sharing the nitty gritty of my experience was as important as the information, guidance, and healing that I received from the higher consciousnesses that communicated to and through me. Nothing was left out and although it is quite vulnerable for me, I knew that it was my duty to share all the details to allow the reader to gain as much personal clarity as possible by journeying along side me.

Is writing a form of spiritual practice or healing for you?

Absolutely!!! I didn’t realize it at the time but writing, whether it be in my journal, a blog post, or my books provides me with a way to find my way through the dramas and traumas of life. I find as I write, insights are provided that help me to navigate life’s challenges and by sharing those writings, it’s my hope to help others.

What advice do you have for anyone considering writing their own memoir? 

Ask yourself “Would i be willing to stand naked in front of strangers?” That’s what writing about your life causes you to do – bare it all. Initially, it was terrifying and kept me “in the closet” for well over a decade but my near death experience provided me a glimpse of what I would miss out on and truly regret if I didn’t write these books and the books that will follow. Another surprising thing I had to face was the reaction of my children – they did not want any aspects of their stories told, even if they impacted my life story. There were many rewrites that were demanded but I understood that it was their story to tell, not mine. I honor that request. 

What is one thing you hope readers take away from You Are So Much More?

First and foremost, that YOU are so much more than you can even imagine! That your life, your story is a valuable piece in the ever-evolving database in the Universe. You are unconditionally loved beyond all understanding by beings seen and unseen. And the most important tool in your human toolbox is the ability to pivot when life throws a wrench – “Dodge, duck, dip, dive and Dodge.”
