The Hidden Writer In Us All

I believe there is an author inside all of us trapped by fear..... A fear of sharing your story. A fear of the blank white page staring back at you. A fear of writer's block a brain empty of ideas. A fear that your message will be lost in translation. A fear that I'm not good enough to be in print. A fear that no-one will ever read your words. Breaking through that fear is hard, but if I can do it you can too!
The Girl Who Dreamed
You see, there was once a little girl who loved reading books. She spent hours lost in the worlds created by different writers, hours learning something new, expanding her little mind. She loved the whole experience. Snuggling down somewhere comfy, the smell of the pages as she turned them, the feeling of the paper in her hands. She would always have a book with her. It was her favourite way to fill in time. She said to herself, ‘I would love to write a book one day… but I don’t think it will ever happen’.
See, she dreamed of becoming an author one day. Dreamed of seeing her words in print. She felt it would always be a dream. However, I’m pleased to say she was very wrong.
That little girl would be so proud of the woman she has become today. That little girl was me.
The Woman Who Wins
I still can’t quite believe the journey I have been on. From a life-long dream to the reality of becoming an international bestselling author, not just once but multiple times. I have proudly co-authored 4 books out now on Amazon - She Defies: Powerful Stories of Overcoming, She Wins: Nice Girls Finish First, Her Path to Entrepreneurship: A Journey of Courage Vision, and Success and When Hearts Heal. I have another book out later this month - Unleash Her: The next Chapter Begins.
I am signed for more co-authored projects out later this year and into next year. Even more exciting is that I have signed up to do my own book so watch this space…
I absolutely love reading and writing. The expression of ones-self through words is truly magical. There is so much healing to be found in giving your thoughts form on paper.
Stories For The Heart, From The Heart
All my chapters are raw, real, and straight from the heart. They are an expression of my soul. A testament to my journey. A dialogue of my struggles. I want to give you the tools I have learned along the way in blood, sweat and tears, so that you don’t ever feel as low as I did. Remember you are never alone. I aim to inspire you that no matter how hard it gets, no matter what you have been through, if you stay true to your values, believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams, you can make your dreams your reality too.
If I Can Do It, You can Too
We all start with a blank page. But your story does matter. Your words and dreams matter. I would love for you to pick up a pen and give it a go. Even if no-one else ever reads it. Give yourself the opportunity for growth. You see it’s all about mindset.... Turn your fear and nerves into excitement. Excitement for the opportunity ahead. Excitement for inspiring others through your words. Just let your words flow. Remember we all start with an empty page.
