The Essence of Being Human

I’m so excited to be featured in the book, The Essence of Being Human: 8 Ordinary People Striving to Live Extraordinary Lives, written by eight people from around the world that became friends through the process. James Moffat, who initiated the idea to write the book, kicks things off with Chapter 1. I wrote the final chapter in the book about finding my family in Sicily, and was delighted to be featured alongside the other seven amazing individuals who have found their true passion and purpose in life. I love that description from James, as that’s what I feel so blessed to be able to say. I am definitely living the life I’m passionate about, while also living my purpose by helping brands tell the stories that make them come alive in the hearts and minds of their customers.

I met James when he asked me to be on his Featured Business Podcast in 2020, where he invites business owners, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to share their stories, bring inspiration, education, and much-needed hope to others. I thought that would be the extent of our connection, but conversations after the podcast turned into an invitation to be in his book, which, of course, I said yes to immediately! I’m always saying this, but I’ll say it again: you never know where a connection will take you. You never know where a “let’s have coffee” will take you. You never know where a mentorship opportunity will take you – for me, it took me to Nigeria in July! Stay open to the possibilities. Say yes more instead of no. Maybe nothing will come of it, but maybe more than you ever imagined will come from it!

The book is launching on Saturday, September 27, and I’d love it if you had a look and considered purchasing the book tomorrow to help us reach Amazon best seller status.

Have you ever thought about writing a book? Teaming up with others is a great way to start.
