Let’s make this simple today. Finish this sentence: “My book is for the person who…” Example: “My book is for the person who has carried a story for years but keeps waiting until they feel ready.” Don’t polish it. Don’t make it perfect. Just let the real answer come through. Share it in the comments and reflect on it.

✨ It’s time to shine! ✨ If you’ve written and published a book, share it in this community post! That way we can learn about one another’s books and give that loving support to one another! 🙌 Share: 🙌 I’d like for you to give a short summary of the books, the genre, a link to where it can be purchased, and a photo of it! Let’s celebrate the wins of publishing your book! 📕

I haven’t done a weekly check in for a bit. So, let’s hear how you all are doing. Where are you in your book creation? Has it been smooth, tough, or in between? Share the wins, the lessons learned and what you feel up for sharing! This is a great time for us to help one another because if you stay stagnant, there’s no growth. Meaning, no book will create itself without the help of a human. So what steps do you need to take in order to finish it?

This is an excerpt from the book I'm working on publishing, it's also a story I share with everyone in my Release the Weight that Holds you Back Masterclass. It's a longer post, but full of gems IMO :). If you have any feedback, lemme know! "You may have heard of the story about the Sun and the North Wind arguing about which one is stronger. It’s one of Aesop’s fables. The Sun and the North Wind are engaged in a heated argument about which one of them is stronger, with each of them claiming to be more powerful. As they’re having this argument, a man wearing a thick, heavy cloak walks down a path nearby. The Sun and the North Wind decide to have a competition to settle the matter once and for all. Whichever one of them succeeds in getting the man to take off his cloak will be the winner of the strength challenge. The North Wind says, “Ha, this will be easy! I can easily make this man take off his cloak. Just watch me!” He proceeds to blow as hard as he can in the direction of the man, lifting up leaves and dust in the process. The man wraps his cloak around him even more. The North Wind angrily grabs a corner of the cloak, tugging with all his might. The man responds by holding on tighter and tighter. The Sun now has her turn. She gently shines her rays down on the road the man is walking on. The man takes a deep breath in and out, grateful for the shift in weather as he loosens his grip on the cloak. The sun continues to shine without much effort, with much kindness and joy. The man starts to feel drops of sweat on his neck and on his brow. As he gets warmer and warmer, he takes the cloak off and releases it to the ground as he plops himself down in the shade of a nearby tree. This story reminds us that, in time, gentleness can often be more powerful than force and aggression. In this book, I share with you the steps I took to be able to release the cloak of excess weight that I was holding tightly onto. As long as I allowed the North Wind of my life to toss me around this way and that, as long as I tried to aggressively force myself into better habits, I could not let this cloak go. As soon as I let the Sun of kindness, compassion, and joy shine on me, both from within and from without, only then could I feel comfortable enough to release the chains that kept me stuck in self sabotage.
