THE POSSIBILITY BOOK

The Possibility Book will reveal the adventures of writing and publishing this book, which might come in handy if you want to share your story or launch a creative quest. 

It started when I quit my career and followed my curiosity, which led me to begin jotting down wisdom and writing a book for my kids.

And then I got the crazy idea that the Universe might be conspiring to help me. Sometimes it seemed like inspirational quotations were appearing, encouraging songs playing, and meaningful coincidences happening, precisely when I needed them.

The Possibility Book will dish entertaining tales about serendipity, friends, family and “signs from the Universe”… some funny, others profound, one or two that seem downright impossible. They’re like routine life, suddenly sprinkled with pixie dust, a reminder that everything and everyone is connected.

The Possibility Book will explore the self-doubts, fears, struggles and rejections that first-time authors and creators often must tackle to turn possibilities into realities.

An aspiring author on a quest to become a published one meets Silicon Valley, spirituality, serendipity, the literary world and Hollywood.

For more than five years, I have been writing most of this story privately, but I’m summoning the courage to share more of the material, with the hope that maybe my story could help encourage and inspire you to realize your creative possibilities. 

The mystery is how The Possibility Book will become reality.
