I can\u2019t even begin to explain how therapeutic the book was for me.<\/p>\n

The only way I can explain this is that I had anxiety around travel and after the book, most of my anxiety around travel faded. Now, I drive and fly everywhere with little anxiety. I can\u2019t explain it either.<\/p>\n

After writing the book, I did intense work on myself with an amazing mentor and counsellor.<\/p>\n

Just so you know, I didn\u2019t write the book for money. The money I made from the book I put back into the community. \u00a0<\/p>\n

My local books are now almost sold out and can\u2019t be purchased anymore on my website. When I say local, I mean in Canada.<\/p>\n

I wrote the book for everyone, not just for people who read. When I was ill, I could not read a fine print 200 page book. Everything I do, I do for a deeper reason.<\/p>\n

And yes, I will be writing a second book in the future.<\/p>\n

For my second book, I may do book tours and more events, as someone asked me how I sold so many copies of my book without really doing much, and I replied, my book launched right when I started the MBA, and I sold it through social media and word of mouth.<\/p>\n

She was impressed.<\/p>\n

Imagine if I had the time to put more effort into it\u2026<\/p>\n

In life, you typically have choices. When I was beginning to recover, I chose to speak openly, understanding I would be sacrificing a lot. I also chose to complete my first degree, though I knew it would be difficult.<\/p>\n

Then, I chose to complete my second degree so I could boost my grades and eventually do a master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n

I went off social media during my two degrees and while I built my career. It was the right decision.<\/p>\n

When everything shut down, I was still working full-time, however I chose to use my spare time to write the book and apply to the MBA program. I knew I couldn\u2019t go anywhere, so I tried to be productive during that time.<\/p>\n

Even though I didn\u2019t choose my illness, when I was able to make choices again, I tried to choose in the best way I knew how and use the power I was given for good. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll leave you with this, I don\u2019t know what the future holds for me, but just so you know, now that the MBA is done and I\u2019ve written my first book, I have started planning my next chapters (in life and business).<\/p>\n

I promise you, in everything I plan to do \u2013 large or small \u2013 I will always enjoy the ride and make each and every day count. I hope you do too!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
