A year ago, I set out to write a book that would inspire others. I chose a wide range of people to speak on important topics that affect all of us in our day to day life. I have woven my biography into interviews with a variety of actors, musicians and motivational speakers who I have had the good fortune of calling friends. We dive deep into the topics of mental health, addiction, LGBTQ equality, the loss of a parent, spirituality, activism, representation, family, the importance of mentors, the healing power of the arts and humor. All of the people in the book wanted to use their voices to raise awareness, and provide encouragement and support to those struggling with similar hardships. This book is about unity, hope and inspiration, which is so needed in today's world. My desire is for everyone reading this book to walk away feeling hopeful and optimistic, if they are struggling in any way. The following people contributed their stories via interviews: Kris Allen, Chance Perez, Adam Hurstfield, Chance Hurstfield, Abigail Hawk, Conor Michael Smith, DeVon Franklin, Marco James, Robert Palmer Watkins, Jordi Vilasuso, Wils, Davi Santos, James Byous, Liris Crosse, Aspen Kaye, David A. Gregory, Cory Jeacoma, Everett S. Weston, Damon Gillespie, Jonathan Coords, Malachi Coords, Justin Paul, Matthew Sauvé, Alan Trinca, Andy Senor Jr., CYCLE (Christien Morneweck), Virginia Coe, Derek Connors, Tania Connors, Justiin Davis, Jay Louie and Dominick LaRuffa Jr.

The classic guide for dealing with grief and loss. Daily reflections to find solace in our own lives, and comfort in the connection of sharing these meditations with countless others. After the focus on planning and outpouring of love from family and friends in the immediate aftermath following the loss of a loved one, we are left to enter a new version of our lives where someone important is missing. For days, months, years, the pain of the loss can crash in all at once. It is tempting to push that wave of grief back and soldier on with our new lives, but the loss will never lose its controlling power if we don’t find the courage and love to face it. Meditating on the loss, along with the rush of love that comes with it, gives us a chance to rejoice in the life that was shared, and to look forward in which memories of our loved ones continue to bless us. The short, poignant meditations given here follow the course of the year, but it is not a necessity to follow them chronologically. They will strengthen, inspire, and give comfort for as long as they are needed.

It's Time to Heal is for the young woman that secretly has enough of life and the constant battle of feeling insecure in herself; she is intentional about breaking out from her secret struggles, but still seeks to compare herself with others. Yes, she desires to be healed, but her past is battling with her future. She knows what it is like to feel left out and often ends up hidden in the corner broken. No one knows the real agony she faces, so she puts it on with a smile and a few laughs. But little did she know that something is missing: HEALING. This book is a guide that reminds her of the Father's love and His promise in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give YOU a future and a hope". She will be uplifted knowing that her future is bright and that healing is available when she makes the choice.
