Welcome to my upcoming book’s Crowdfunding Page!
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to share that I’m in the process of writing my second book! This book is a continuation of the journey we began with Live Your Happy in 2017, and I can’t wait to bring you along on this new adventure.
The Story
My first book, Live Your Happy, published in 2017, had a significant impact on people worldwide—not just ACIM students and teachers, but people from all walks of life. I’ve received countless emails and messages from readers who shared how the book transformed their lives. Honestly, I had been holding off on writing a second book because it’s a lot of work, and self-publishing can be costly. But, I feel that I’m ready! So much has happened since the first book, especially key lessons I’ve learned over the past few years that add a whole new dimension to happiness.
This second book, will be a 2.0 version of Live Your Happy, offering even more insights and tools to help you live your happiest, most suffering-free life! I’ve already started the writing process and have hired the amazing D. Patrick Miller as my coach and mentor to make sure this gets done pronto!

Excerpts from the Introduction
- “Happiness is our inheritance, and happiness is our function. This powerful realization is what’s driven the writing of this book eight years after the release of my first book, Live Your Happy!”
- “In 2017, the very month Live Your Happy was published, I met my husband Christian at a Happy Dream Retreat. Within a mere six months, we were engaged, married, and expecting our son, Ari. Despite having only one fallopian tube—a challenge I shared in the story of my ectopic pregnancy—I gave birth to Ari at the age of 41. Talk about a miracle!”
- “Now with this book, we’ll be taking a deeper plunge into all the mucho helpful insights I’ve gathered since our last adventure. This book really dives into the heart of A Course in Miracles, and we’ll be unpacking some life-changing tweaks and transformations.”
- We’re stepping up our game, going beyond the basics to explore collective forgiveness and the nitty-gritty of personal reconciliations. I want to help boost your skills of deep emotional healing to keep the love alive and kicking.”
- “We’re stepping out of the victim zone and into our power zone, shaping our experiences with every new choice we make. It’s going to be epic.”
- “I invite you to give over the experience of this book to the Holy Spirit, to be guided at your natural pace and learn how you can apply these lessons in the most effective way. If you apply the tools provided and remain uncompromising, you have a big, fat miracle waiting for you.”
- “So, let’s start this journey together. Prepare for a ride filled with love, laughter, and profound transformation. ¡Vamonos!”
