All day every day, I am working on helping others by spreading the message of hope & inspiration from coast to coast. It is my purpose and I am extremely passionate about following it on a daily basis.

Stop Thinking Like That derived from my journal entries in the early days of recovery. One night I switched from typical journaling to writing a story about what the first 2 hours of my mornings while enthralled in a life of addiction were spent. That story brought to light an innate ability I didn't know I held and showed me there is more that needed to come out.
I started with the idea of having each chapter detail a characteristic / trait needed to overcome massive adversity. That idea, which I have all written down in one of my original notebooks, soon transformed into my part memoir / part self-help / part motivational & inspirational book.
Stop Thinking Like That is NOT a book about ME. I interview others who've overcome great hardship to living a life full of abundance, as well as reference nearly a dozen classic personal development books that helped me find myself in those early stages in recovery.
This book is for ALL because no one is exempt from life's adversities.

My writing began in a blank notebook I brought with me to rehab and used it as therapy during my early days of recovery from my addictions to alcohol and drugs. It helped me not only heal from events in my life that I suppressed deep within, but also my writings began to give hope and inspiration to others. How so? My words let others who are at rock bottom know they are not alone, and gave hope that people who have been in similar circumstances (myself) have made it out alive and are thriving in life; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
