There are several reasons I wrote the book Your Compass: Find Your Path Mission #1. One was for my own kids to learn from some of my hard life lessons. Another was for the youth we feel called to serve in Mexico. I also know there are many, like me, who have struggled hearing their inner voice, setting boundaries, healing wounds that keep us stuck in hurtful patterns, and who don't know how to honor themselves as they honor others.

I shared a short video yesterday and wanted to invite you to watch it.

In it, I’m unboxingYour Compassfor the first time and sharing why this is a book I couldn’t not write — how it grew out of pain and learning to hear my own voice, set boundaries, and live with more clarity and trust.

I hope it resonates with you. And if it does, I’d love for you to read the book and share it with someone you love.

The Spanish version will be used in our partnership program with local orphanages!

Your Compass: Find Your Path — Mission #1is a guided daily journey designed to help you quiet the noise, reconnect with your inner knowing, and live in a way that actually fits who you are.

P.S. If the video resonates, I’d love it if you would leave a review after you read the book. Reviews help more than almost anything in helping the right people find it.
