Happy Father’s Day!

Today tends to be a bit of an emotional day for many, and I want to acknowledge that. Still, there are several men who have been proud fathers that I want to affirm and encourage today, including mine!

The last time I posted here, it was Mother’s Day, and I had just shared at an event: the “Fearless Women’s Summit” in the Charlotte area (Concord, NC).

For me, preparing for that event was a bit challenging, as it had been years since I stood on a stage to speak to an audience. I am so grateful that I was able to complete my assignment well.

The challenge to show up repeatedly, regardless of whether there is an immediate ROI or not, is to be acknowledged. Sometimes we would rather not – because we’ve already decided that it won’t help us much.

Pushing past negative thoughts to continue doing what you’ve been doing – and perfecting/amplifying/maximizing it – is a skill that many tend to push into the background, or even deny that it’s a thing.

In the same way that I pushed through to deliver my speech to an intimate group in Concord NC, I want to encourage you as a father. The daily task of nurturing and providing for a child may be daunting, boring, or rigorous – but if done with love, patience, and care, you will reap your rewards.

Keep going.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you want to work with me as you draft your book, get it edited and released to the world via the independent publishing space, I can help you with all of that! Visit bit.ly/authorconsults to schedule a consultation call with me at Embolden Media Group. The company has a lot of great packages to offer you, and I’d like to help you get started!

In the meantime, enjoy some of the photos from my event in May.

Speak to you soon!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Hello!

Happy Mother’s Day to you! Mother’s Day is not just reserved for those who’ve given birth to natural children. We are celebrating every woman who has nurtured another person, younger or older.

Thank you for your sacrifices and support! We honor your work and we understand your value in homes, in workplaces, in churches, and in other spaces. The world would not be HERE if it wasn’t for you!

I wanted to share a bit about yesterday at the Fearless Women’s Summit Tour in Charlotte NC. I was nervous, but I was also very prepared. I am grateful for Sharla Brown, founder of OneWoman.ca (based in Canada) for her amazing vision for this organization. Dr. Shade Adu, owner of Savvy Solutions (Business Consulting & Strategy) from the Raleigh NC area was the host, and she did an amazing job!

We had a great time, and a lot of meaningful connections were made! We spoke about different challenges that we’ve overcome, and we shared the innovative ways that we can help others overcome similar challenges to ours. (I sang for part of my speech! HA! I bet you didn’t know that I would do that!)

Thank you to my youngest sister Nicole and my friend Mia who came to support me. Official photos will be released once I get them.

For now, I wanted to share a selfie with you.

Fight Self-Doubt and Win!

Hello,

I just hosted our first mini writing retreat for 2025 yesterday, and so many things were swirling around in my mind before, during, and after our retreat.

One thing that came to me at full force was this message:

This may sound self-explanatory or simple, but we rarely think of self-doubt as being equivalent to unbelief.

If we are authors who feel that pull or nudge to write, and we doubt ourselves, we are saying that:

  • our message doesn’t matter.
  • we don’t write well enough to share it.
  • no-one can be helped by our message.
  • we’re not the right person to share this message.
  • our way of telling our story is unrelatable, so people just won’t get it.
  • Maybe we’ve even said, “They’ve talked about this already. Why should I bother?”

If you KNOW that you were nudged or pulled on to write, then that is your green light to move towards your goal. Don’t look around and compare; your story is unique to you and your circumstances.

I gave this example yesterday: even if you and your friend had the same home situation: two-parent home, two older brothers, went to the same schools and lived in the same neighborhood – your lives may look the same externally (say, in a statistics or data set), but each person is living a unique life. No two lives are the same. No experience is lived the same. Even if a lot of the external factors match, each person’s internal thought pattern or processing of events will still be different.

I’m saying all of this to say: GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! Look inward, look heavenward, and let’s get your book out!

So – you are invited to join us for The Writer’s Experience Book Challenge! We are challenging YOU to finish your book in just SIX weeks! I will prepare you and share vital information along the way. We will meet four times out of the six-week period (to give you time to write). We will have our kickoff on Feb 5, then we will meet on Feb 19, Mar 5 and wrap up on Mar 19. These sessions are all on Wednesdays at 7pm ET for ONE HOUR.

Your work will be reviewed by me in-between our sessions, so you must complete and email each assignment back to me for review to keep up.

I am EXCITED to see who will WIN this challenge! Let’s DO IT! I hosted my first book challenge in 2020 – it was so much fun, and several authors completed their books.

You can register now for $295; the price willincrease to $395 on February 1st.

I cannot wait to have you in class next week – Wednesday, February 5!

Register today; see you there! Space is reserved for TWELVE people.

Some spots are still left! https://bit.ly/mgcbookchallenge
