I’m excited to announce the release of my new book, Life Lessons: How I’ve Learned to Embrace Gratitude, Positivity, Resilience, and Joy.
This book is a collection of insights, reflections, and personal stories. It recounts experiences that have shaped the way I approach life, cope with difficulties, and embrace opportunities. My hope is that Life Lessons will inspire readers to find strength in their own challenges and uncover opportunities for growth, healing, and joy.
My inspiration to write this memoir came in part from this blog as well as a life-changing event: a sudden cardiac arrest in 2022. For nearly 10 minutes I was clinically deceased, before being restored to life by a team of medical professionals.
That experience served as a stark reminder of how precious—and fleeting—life can be. I have felt a strong calling to share my journey in a more meaningful and in-depth way.
And although recent events might have sparked the urgency to write an inspirational memoir, the concept of this book has been forming in my heart and mind for decades. In my many years as a technology and business writer, I have authored hundreds of articles, white papers, eBooks, and blog posts—always about business or technology trends, and always about other people.
Life Lessons is something else entirely. It’s personal. It’s about my own story and the truths I’ve uncovered along the way.
Often, our most difficult moments teach us the most profound lessons. I’ve learned that it’s possible to turn hardship into purpose, to find joy in small moments, and to embrace gratitude and resilience—even when life feels overwhelming.
It is my sincere hope that each chapter in Life Lessons offers a meaningful takeaway, grounded in my real-life experiences—both extraordinary and everyday. Here are just a few of the lessons I explore:
- Embracing gratitude and positivity as a way of life
- Being present in the moment
- Breaking free from negative thought patterns
- Finding joy in the ordinary
- Building resilience to meet life’s challenges
- Refusing to let setbacks define your story
- Appreciating the beauty of a good book, movie, or song
- Creating a ripple effect of positivity
- Harnessing the power of intentional goal-setting
To welcome the lessons of life means to embrace all experiences, both the positive ones and the negative ones, as opportunities to grow. I’m indebted to those who have helped me to grasp the many lessons life has to offer. This includes family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and complete strangers.
If you’re looking for inspiration, perspective, or simply a heartfelt story, I invite you to order a copy of Life Lessons. And please feel free to write a review! This will help other readers discover the book and support my work as an author.
Thanks for reading and be well!
