The idea for my most recent book, Never Doubt Your Value: You Are More Than Enough, came from my early life experiences with doubting who I was due to the input of others. It was also inspired by the conversations I had with hundreds of people on the faith-based suicide prevention hotline I founded in regards to their negative assessment of themselves. I wanted to emphasize in this work that we are all more than enough and have all the tools we need on the inside of us to experience the life of our dreams!

One of the ways I deal with writer's block is to try not to focus on it or force myself to write the work in those moments. Focusing on what is not occurring has a way of producing more of it. Instead I allow myself to retreat to an inspiring environment such as sitting on a lakefront, gathering with other writers, or perhaps working on arts and crafts in order to not compound the writer's block resistance and to become revived and refreshed. It is after feeling revived and refreshed that I allow myself to continue writing the work.

The best thing about being a writer is the unlimited potential you have to tap into creative ideas and themes. It is also great to be able to translate your own experiences or the experiences of others into meaningful lessons that may prove beneficial to readers. Of course connecting with a community of other avid readers is another great benefit of being a writer!
