When we dream of writing a book, we hope that it will be meaningful/helpful to someone some day. Most of us will never meet or hear from our readers... but the rare occasions are treasures. This week I got 2 messages from a reader... it is easily the highlight of my month. He was asking if my book, DATE YOURSELF (obviously written by a woman and primarily for women) could be useful to a him, as a man... 📥 "Can your book help me?" he wrote. 📥 "I bought your book...The intro hits the nail on the head for me." 📥 "So cool to hear back from an author of a book, one I want to read at that." Until you write your book, you will never know who needs it... and they will continue to stay stuck without your act of courage and love. I often say, "Writing a book is the greatest act of faith and love I have ever known." FAITH because we create something with the hope it will find its intended audience (that the people who need it will some how find it in the wide world) LOVE because we have to face our own demons to get there... and we do so for the possibility of helping a total stranger we will never meet. WHO NEEDS YOUR BOOK? Will you write it fore them? (even if you never know what it meant to them?)...

In the quiet season... a new baby is brewing... We have another book coming out soon from epic poet @Stacy Dyson

Across these stories, the writers look directly at pain, loss, and the complicated paths toward freedom. Instead of treating divorce or separation as a collapse, the book reframes each ending as a turning point where women choose themselves, rebuild their lives, and honor the truth that wholeness can follow even the hardest breaks. By the final pages, the collection stitches together a message that is steady and hopeful. These women are not broken, and they are becoming something stronger. Reading their words, I felt an ache in my chest more than once. The writing is striking in its honesty, and the stories breathe with real life. @Brandee Melcher ’s chapter opens with the raw confusion of childhood and grows into a powerful reclaiming of self, and her voice shook me because of how clear and grounded it becomes. Her journey from chaos to confidence made me root for her, and it reminded me how childhood patterns can shadow adulthood until we finally name them. I also found myself lingering on @Sierra Melcher s reflections on choosing peace over performance. Her reminder that children do not need perfect homes, they need healthy adults, resonated with me personally. The stories impact in different ways, but all of them bring a unique emotional punch.
