What’s Next? Outreach Project

I’m constantly being asked, “What’s next?” The more I hear of other ladies’ stories of survival, the more I feel their voices need to be heard. This is what I’m thinking:

My plan is to interview some of these survivors of domestic violence and abuse and have their stories heard. I am desiring women (or men) who have healed and moved on to a better place in spite of what they’ve been through, from those who are not bitter but better. Stories that will inspire and help others who may be going through a difficult situation and feel hopeless.

I’d like to introduce you to my new gorgeous friend, Crystal Martin: She is a devoted wife and a fit mother of 4. A corporate woman. An entrepreneur. An advocate for domestic violence survivors. Last night, I had the privilege of interviewing her and was blown away by her incredible story of survival! I am happy to say she’s a total woman: healed, stronger, and quite successful today because of everything she has been through.

I am thrilled that she will be a part of my next writing project – a compilation of stories about women who have survived domestic violence in an abusive marriage. These stories need to be told, and their voices need to be heard. It is our desire that these testimonies, experiences, and life lessons will serve to truly help and inspire anyone who may still be in an abusive relationship. To let them know that they are not alone and hopefully see that they, too, can move forward, knowing that they can let go of a victim and limited mindset, and emerge as a better person despite what they’ve been through.

Should you be someone (male or female) who has a story of hope and survival to share, I just may include you in my next book! After our interview, if you prefer to remain anonymous, you may do so. Please contact me.

Remember: God loves you just the way you are. He loves you too much to leave you that way!

Publishing Update

Hi y’all! My community, or my “tribe” — as Michael Hyatt and Jeff Goins would say — is steadily growing, which is pretty exciting whenever I view my stats. I treasure each and every one of my followers, readers, and commenters. Rest assured, I appreciate you taking the time to stop by, and I do read each and every one of your comments, even though I may not respond to all of them right away. I’ve been touched, moved to tears, made to smile, encouraged, and blanketed by warm fuzziness from you (did that make sense?) throughout this blogging journey about my memoirs!

To give you an update, I am honored to announce that I have joined forces with Chart House Press, and my book will launch sometime in January 2015. Whoo-Hoo! We’re going over the book cover design. I will post the ideas as soon as I get them. I may need your help and will ask you to cast your vote.

I’ve received such wonderful and positive feedback, realizing I haven’t been alone during this entire process. You have encouraged me time and again, and I just wanted you to know that I am forever grateful. Together, we shall continue this journey.
