I have been meaning to take the time out to explain why I call my book tour, The BreakThrough BookTour. The truth is that this book tour symbolizes so much more for me than just selling books.
A few years ago I reached a point of my life where I had a break down. Not necessarily a nervous breakdown, but a breakdown in communication between me and myself which resulted in my engaging in a host of destructive behaviors. Naturally I practiced very little genuine love for myself. Everything came to a head about two years ago when I realized that I could not go on living the way that I was.
That was just the begining of my breakthrough. I had to break free from depression, low self-esteem, negative self talk, and feelings of abandonment and rejection. As I moved further away from this negative lifestyle, I moved closer to God.
BUT, there wasn’t a happy ending just yet, there was still a lot of work to be done. I tried working a full time job, going to church every Sunday and living the cookie cutter life that people seemed to think is the key to true fulfillment. That was not the case.
It was not until I truly stepped out on faith, left my full time job, learned to say no, and started to put all of my energy into me and my dream that I finally began to see the light!
On this day next month it will be one year since I took that leap of faith and I have yet to be homeless, hungry, or unhappy. I feel like I am living my best life ever and no amount of money can bring me the joy that I feel when I wake up every morning knowing that all that I have to do is what I want to do and what I love.
I am…a writer, an author, a poet, and a motivational speaker. It is my mission to…entertain, inspire, educate, motivate, and add value to the lives of others. The BreakThrough BookTour is my time to shine, stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight sharing my testimony through words so that it may speak to and minister to the lives of others!
I WILL be coming to a city near you…just look for the Light!
