Some of my favorite books are ones I’ve authored myself: Emotional Alchemy: Turning Wounds into Wisdom, The Journey Within, Healing the Wounded Self, and Rising Up and Starting Over. These are echo's of my personal story of losing everything I had two years ago, which became the catalyst for the new path I’m now walking. Another favorite book of mine is Open When: A Companion for Life’s Twists and Turns by Dr. Julie Smith, which offers valuable guidance through life’s challenges.
