    Acknowledgments

    My family has played a large role in shaping my foundation. I appreciate their wisdom, guidance, and their support. I thank them for everything they have done for me.

    I extend a huge, heartfelt thank-you to seven magnificent women in my life. Their help, love, and support have meant so much to me on this journey. I am honored that they are in my life! Leslie, Linda, Beth, Harriet, Jacqui, Megan, and Karen, thank you all for stepping up and being on this journey with me. I could not have done it without you!

    To my Solopentur group (Marc, Janice, Chris, and Coriander): thank you for pushing me and for being encouraging and supportive. Thank you for your guidance and your patience during several rounds of taking imperfect action. Thank you also for holding the space when I needed that as well!

    I have been very fortunate to have friends and mentors throughout my life who have encouraged me when I needed it the most. Just because we may have lost touch, do not see each other regularly, or someone is no longer physically present does not mean that I have forgotten that individual. They have touched my life and I remain appreciative for whatever lessons were taught to me. I am grateful to have had them and their willingness to influence my life. Thank you.

    To everyone at Balboa that has helped me on this journey, thank you. I have learned so much from everyone. I knew nothing about publishing or editing when I started this project. Whenever I had a question, Balboa staff made sure, I understood and was comfortable with the answer. Thank you for helping me with this publishing process.

    Introduction

    At this time in history, more and more people seek deeper meaning in their lives. A common illusion, however, is that there is an overabundance of fundamentally different reference material out there on a variety of religions, self-help methods, and different daily practices. As such, people often become paralyzed with fear in selecting the right type of information.

    The good news is that most of the material out there has similar ideas at the core of their messages; the messages are just packaged in different ways. For example, if on your birthday, you receive twelve different sized boxes, and each box contains one pair of socks, the packaging becomes insignificant. The socks function in the same manner despite the box in which they arrived.

    Several different types of information discuss the Law of Attraction or ideas of manifestation. These ideas are similar; you have the ability to draw into your life what you want or need. For ease of understanding, I will refer to manifestation throughout this book.

    Another area of perceived differences is related to concepts of the Creator. Whether you believe in God, Goddess, the Universe, the Source, or something else entirely, all of them speak to divine, unconditional love. In this book, I will refer to the Universe but you, the reader, should feel free to substitute whatever resonates with you.

    My intention with this book is for you to take one step and then another until you reach the place where you aspire to be. For some individuals becoming their authentic self might be a few steps more than for others.

    You will need to create your own definition of authenticity. For some people it will be about speaking their truth. For others it will mean living in harmony with those around them. Still others may find their authentic selves by creating what they desire in life. Your authentic self may be a mix of all three of these examples. It could also be something completely different. However you define your personal authenticity, you will have more happiness in life, more ability to forgive yourself and others, and more ability to create transformational experiences.

    In this book, I try to provide a broad overview of different ways to cultivate a more authentic life. How you utilize this book, what you gain from it, and what you do with the knowledge are entirely up to you. There will probably be parts of this book with which you do not agree or to which you are indifferent. You are the only one who can discern whether you agree with what I have written. Only absorb what you are comfortable with—leave the rest for later.

    I have spent several years learning how to become more of my authentic self and how I can be the most inspirational to others. I have gained certification in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, and in energy work (Reiki and Hands on Healing). I remain curious and open to other educational opportunities and I enjoy the excitement of learning something new.

    In my continued quest for knowledge and authenticity, I keep the information that aligns with me as an individual and release the rest. The information that resonates with me may be different from what resonates with you. Only absorb what you feel comfortable with; allow the rest to flow past.

    Think for a moment about when you have reached the end of your life. Ask yourself, what becomes important to you about how you lived your life? Will you wish you had done something(s) differently or created more of an impact in your community? That you had created a legacy filled with integrity? Do you wish you had been unafraid to live your life how you really wanted to live your life instead of what society deemed a successful way to live? Will you wish you had relationships that were more meaningful? You can create that new reality now.

    You are the only one
