Inspiration for writing the book

I decided to write “An Invitation to Change Through Energy Healing” after attending a Hay House “I Can Do It! IGNITE” conference several years ago. Throughout those three inspiring days, I watched as one presenter after the other spoke about their work and introduced their books. To be perfectly honest, I found myself fantasizing being on that stage and introducing my own work and book. (It didn’t occur to me that I hadn’t yet written a book. I just knew in my heart that I wanted to talk about my work in a bigger arena.)

The renowned author and speaker, Wayne Dyer, was to open as their keynote speaker and I was thrilled. Driving to San Jose the morning of the conference, a crazy thought crossed my mind—I wanted to meet him. During his presentation that morning, Wayne mentioned his birthday—May 10th, 1940. My birthday is on May 10th, 1950 and at that moment, we met. I felt the divine connection.

On the last day of the conference, an additional significant moment occurred. I hadn’t taken note of the Balboa Press table during the conference, even as I walked by, to and from the conference hall. On that third day, I finally noticed the table and stopped. The representative asked if I was a writer and to my utter amazement I said ‘yes’. She then asked if I had a manuscript and again I said ‘yes’. She also asked if I was ready to publish and again I said ‘yes’!!! I hadn’t thought of myself as an author and yet I took a courageous plunge when I answered ‘yes’ to writing a book!

When I was asked if I had a manuscript, I did have 20 pages but it wasn’t “An Invitation to Change Through Energy Healing”. The original manuscript was about my life as a domestic violence survivor. While writing about the experience for an entire year, I discovered I wasn’t interested in re-writing that story. I was in the midst of developing skills and witnessing powerful results from energy work. I felt, and still feel, that my blogs were more useful to individuals than my personal story. In fact, when I made the decision to change the subject matter of the book, I realized that the information was not coming from a place of ego—my story—the information was from a place of divine guidance—an invitation.
