About this ebook
IMAGINE A DAY WHERE YOU:
Remember your infinite worth, no matter what
Reconnect with your Divine Authentic Self and be inspired to move forward
Become confident in your ability to deal with your sufferings and experience peace
It can happen and the possibility starts here.
Do you want to move forward, but feel lost and stuck?
Do you wonder what your own purpose truly is on this earth?
I understand. Ive been there.
I know what its like to feel anxious and depressed wondering what the purpose of such pain is, and then to search for happiness in a world that has such suffering. After a dear friend of mine died tragically, I deepened my search for the meaning of my own life while grieving the loss of hers. Since then, I have been on a journey to peace that has taken me to great perspectives, a journey that has changed my life, and a journey that has the potential to change yours as well. Together, lets release your questions and fears and reconnect you with your divine birthrights of love, joy, and abundance for authenticity and happiness.

Preface
I unknowingly began writing this book in January 2010 when I decided to take a leap out of my comfort zone and create a Facebook Fan page for my integrative healing practice, Path To Growth, LLC. I began posting daily inspirations and at that time did not consciously create any common threads running through the posts; it was simply a mirror of lessons I was working on in my own life. From time to time, fans suggested that I compile the posts into a book and while I was flattered by the encouragement and belief in my material, the idea didn’t resonate with me for some time (translation: I was scared to death!).
Fast forward to January 2011 when I was on a three-hour drive back home from an evening with Dr. Wayne Dyer where he spoke of the art of manifestation. I found myself meditating on the idea of publishing a book.

Then on the third breath, I heard, You’ve already written the book. You’ve been writing it every day for the past year.
Whew! There she is…that was a close call. Thought I lost you there for a minute,
I said to myself. Feeling confused about what my inner wisdom was referring to, I sat for a moment and thought about what it could mean. My Facebook page and its
