Book: Mind Your Garden
Q1. Hello Sir, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Hello! I am a certified Gallup Strengths Coach and has a Master’s in Business Administration. I have spent years studying Psychology, Clinical Counseling, Ontology, Spirituality. I am married to the most amazing person on the planet and we have 3 Bernedoodle dogs! I also care for my 77 year young mom that resides with us! I own several small businesses and I am committed to making a difference in the lives of others. I believe that transformation is available to anyone that is willing to put in the work.
Q2. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Mind Your Garden’?
My goal with “Mind Your Garden” is to take an advanced concepts and break them down to easy to incorporate pieces. Everyone can relate to how a garden works and the mind is very similar. If you don’t want squash to grow you don’t plant squash. Likewise with our mind – if we don’t want to be jealous or envious we replace those thoughts with something we DO want to be – like LOVING. The entire book is meant to be read and re-read several times over. Just like a garden – the mind garden takes time to grow! This is the first book in a 5 book series – next one is “The Stew of Your Why.”
Q3. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I am so passionate about people and people getting what they want in life that it isn’t very hard for me to keep things fresh for myself. As far as readers, I listen to their feedback and try to create things that they need and want in their life!
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
I love the mountains, specifically, Summitt County in Colorado. My husband and I try to make it out there a few times a year. There is something about the mountains that refuels me. Seeing the crisp blue sky contrast with the bright white mountain tops is one of my favorite sights! The star gazing at night is amazing as well!
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
Honestly, this is my first book and I wrote it as a response to COVID. The world become so disconnected and fear based I wanted to create something worth focusing on. This book from start to finish was on Amazon in less than 6 months. I had great people assisting me throughout the entire project – which I am extremely grateful for!
Q6. How long did it take you to write this book?
Less than 6 months to actually write/illustrate/and publish. With that being said, this book is the information I have accumulated over the past 25+ years
Q7. What does success means to you?
For me to be successful is to know that I made an impact on people and their lives. I want to be part of co-creating a world that really works – together – for everyone!
Q8. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Mind Your Garden’ book?
The key challenges were all of the technical things that my team helped me with – all of the details in working with Amazon, the illustrations, the layout etc – I had some very talented people with me on this project!
Q9. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
Oh wow – there are so many! Eckhart Tolle (A New Earth), Deepak Chopra (Meta Human), Peter Shankman (Faster Than Normal), Augusten Burroughs (Running with Scissors), Charles Fillmore (Prosperity) – just to name a few!
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
Well – IF you REALLY take on the coaching in this book and practice aligning your thoughts with what you want to create with aligned actions – you will have a life that is unrecognizable! You get out of life what you put into life and it really is that simple! Anything you want in life IS possible if you are WILLING to put in the work to get it!
