Welcome to my upcoming book’s Crowdfunding Page!
Good News! My Second Book is in the Publishing Phase!
I’m thrilled to share that my second book, Live Your Happiest, is now in the publishing phase! This book is the next chapter 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, resonated with readers from all walks of life—not just ACIM students and teachers but individuals seeking a more joyful and peaceful existence. I’ve been honored to receive countless messages from readers who shared how the book transformed their lives. After much reflection and learning from the lessons of the past few years, I’m ready to share even more insights in Live Your Happiest.
While self-publishing is a big undertaking, I’m excited to be in the final stages of the publishing process with the support of my coach and mentor, D. Patrick Miller, to ensure that this book reaches you as soon as possible.
What’s This Book About?
Live Your Happiest is an inspiring guide that offers a clear, practical path to freedom from suffering. Rooted in the teachings of A Course in Miracles and my experience as a spiritual teacher, this book provides powerful tools to help you release fear, embrace love, and reclaim inner peace.
Through personal stories, relatable insights, and actionable exercises, Live Your Happiest empowers you to heal your inner wounds, transform limiting beliefs, and reconnect with your true nature—love. The book also includes my Live Your Happy Formula and The Work by Byron Katie, offering a step-by-step approach to living a life of purpose, fulfillment, and happiness.

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!”
