 1.      How did you get into this collection of inspiration with folks like Jack Canfield?

Actually, my Angels had a lot to do with my inclusion in the book. I began receiving emails about upcoming workshops with Randy Davila, the CEO of the book’s publishing company. I had no idea how or why I was receiving this information. There wasn’t any list I had signed up for that I remembered. Each time I received an email from the publishing company, I felt a pull to read it. I noticed there was a special quality of light around Randy’s photo. My Angels were trying to get my attention. At first I passed it off as nothing (really, and I teach this stuff!), by the second or third time, I started to pay attention. Then, clients of mine invited me to attend the Celebrate Your Life Conference in Chicago. Synchronistically, Randy was giving a daylong workshop there. At this point I knew I needed to attend the workshop and meet Randy. In addition to learning a tremendous amount while in Chicago, I received an invitation to submit a chapter for consideration in Pearls of Wisdom, not long after. As they say the rest is history. It is truly an honor to be part of the book. I am appreciative my Angels have orchestrated this wonderful experience.

 2.      What is your chapter about?

My chapter is called ‘Access Your Angels.’ It is about tuning into your Angels and Divine Guidance so you can access the most direct path to your success. It helps you identify so what creates static on the airwaves to your Angels. The chapter also gives simple steps to begin to connect to your Angels and Divine Team.

 3.      What do you think makes this book unique and who would want to read it?

Anyone who is or has felt challenged by circumstances in their life, or are committed to create positive change and would like a dose of hope and inspiration to keep them going would be drawn to read this book.

 4.       What kind of wisdom do you have to offer the reader?

When you listen to your Angels and Divine Guidance you gain reliable insight on where to invest your time and energy in alignment with your deepest held values. You learn how to shore up your internal resources for confidence. You have clarity to take inspired action in your work, relationships, health and life.

 5.      The publisher promises that the authors such as yourself are “up and coming” leaders in self-help.  How does the publisher know this and what is your expertise in “self-help”?

I am a facilitator of transformation and have touched thousands of lives. For more than seven years, I have worked with clients on their relationships, helping them discover their life purpose and launching and growing their heart-centered businesses. I’ve received countless messages from Angels, Archangels, Saints, Masters and God for myself and my clients. I’ve learned personally and through working with my clients the miracles that unfold when people commit to change and enlist Divine and earthly assistance. Because  I have learned how to walk in two worlds – business and self-help – I am best positioned to help other women to as well.

 6.      Most people know about Jack Canfield from the Chicken Soup books and Marci Shimoff from her Happy book … How would you like your readers to think of you?  What is your “signature niche”?

I am the Success Angel. I coach spiritually-oriented women how to tap into their Angels and Divine Guidance in all aspect of their lives. My specialty is helping entrepreneurial women bring their unique gifts to the world. I teach how to shore up their confidence, overcome overwhelm and align to their dreams.

7.      We often hear that the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” – how does that proverb apply to the 30 authors in this book?

The collective energy and insights in this book truly reach different areas of the readers’ heart and head, bringing in new wisdom, new paradigms and new understandings to truly change the world, one person at a time, thereby changing the entire world.

 8.      What is your most central and compelling “pearl of wisdom”?

You are never alone. Angelic Assistance is available 24/7. When you listen, trust and follow Divine Guidance struggle dissipates and miracles happen.

 1.      How did you get into this collection of inspiration with folks like Jack Canfield?

That’s a good question. It was actually very easy. I attended a class given by Randy Davila, President of Hampton Roads Publishing and he mentioned he was looking for authors to round out a book of inspirational ideas to change lives and that there were NY Times best-selling authors like Jack Canfield in it. I took a shot and submitted my chapter and I was one of the chosen. It was not as hard as you would think.

 2.      What is your chapter about?

My chapter is called: You are Already Enough.  It is my philosophy that we are worthy and enough simply because we are alive and that nothing we do or do not do in this life changes that. It is unconditional love. It is time for the negative motivation of improve and strive because you are not good enough to be replaced by the positive motivation that because you are already good enough, you can treat yourself well and follow your heart. 

 3.      What do you think makes this book unique and who would want to read it?

I love that this book offers 30 different ideas, philosophies and voices to uplift and inspire. That almost guarantees that any reader will connect and take away something of use, maybe even life changing.  I consider inspiration to be part of my necessary daily diet. What I feed my mind is just as important as what I feed my body. Here is a choice of 30 entrees to sample. Who wouldn’t want to read it?

 4.       What kind of wisdom do you have to offer the reader?

I have my experience and what has worked for me and my clients. I also have lots of hard won love and acceptance to share. I believe we all have the belief that we are not enough or worthy somewhere in our psyche. How can we not? We grow up experiencing that we need to look a certain way, act a certain way and accomplish certain things in order to be accepted and loved. Therefore, we cannot just be enough! I believe it is our sacred contract to overcome our family and cultural training and realize that we are who we are supposed to be and that is enough. From that place of enough, we can thrive and shine.

 5.      The publisher promises that the authors such as yourself are “up and coming” leaders in self-help.  How does the publisher know this and what is your expertise in “self-help”?

It rings true to me…LOL. I can’t know what the publisher thinks. I can speculate that since they liked our offering and looked at who we are, what we do and how we get our message out, they feel safe that we are up and coming. These authors are passionate about making a difference.  That is good enough for me. My expertise in self-help is my own experience and my successful coaching business.  I coach individuals and groups, write and give workshops and presentations, all of which are geared to connect people to what works for them and help them drop what doesn’t. My clients move forward and make shifts that work for them.

 6.      Most people know about Jack Canfield from the Chicken Soup books and Marci Shimoff from her Happy book … How would you like your readers to think of you?  What is your “signature niche”?

At this time I think it is that You are Already Enough.  Whether I am talking about loving the body you have today or pointing out the story you are telling that is holding you back, it always comes back to you being perfectly, authentically and gloriously you.  I believe that is the key to happiness, liberation from the tyranny of our inner and outer critics, and to unconditional love.  The unconditional part creates miracles, changes lives and saves the world.

 7.      We often hear that the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” – how does that proverb apply to the 30 authors in this book?

This book offers 30 ideas, 30 choices and 30 voices. Certain voices and styles of connecting resonate with us at different times in our lives. I believe the benevolent universe is always working on our behalf and is always offering what we need to know next.  30 voices means that there are 30 more chances that you will get the message you need right now from this book.

 8.      What is your most central and compelling “pearl of wisdom”?

You have everything you need within to be your greatest self because…you know what’s coming…you are already enough.

 9.      If you had a whole book of pearls to share, what would be a few others you might write about?  

I might write about Truth being what’s in your heart and the rest being stories. I might write about love being more powerful than fear, or that we learn more easily from love than pain. I would write about changing the world by changing yourself and about our sacred contracts with the people in our lives and how they serve us by showing us the stuff we need to heal. Mostly I would write about how powerful each one of us is to create a better, kinder world. I do write about all of this in my newsletters and daily thoughts on Facebook and Twitter.

10.  What do you think about 2012 and the hype or concern surrounding this year?

 I think it is a great year to pull together and raise the collective consciousness. Do I think the world will end this December? No. I think the old way of viewing our world is ending and that’s probably a good thing.  I think the world is changing at a tremendous pace and that is causing much upheaval and the way we respond is of paramount importance.  It no longer works to act separate when we are a global community. It no longer works to make money more important than people, animals, nature and community. War doesn’t work and neither does infringement on freedoms.  What does work is connection and love. What does work is trust in each other and what feels right in our hearts. What does work is a world based on love rather than fear.

 11.  How can our readers find you?

I work with people all over the U.S, Canada and Europe. My website is www.themandalacoach.com . You can subscribe to a free newsletter and download helpful information there. I also offer daily empowering thoughts on Facebook and Twitter which can also be accessed from my website. Mandalas are designs that symbolize the wholeness and perfection of the universe.  We are mandalas.
