An anthology is a collection of literary pieces by various different authors. I am honored to be a part of this anthology that includes six other extraordinary women. Our stories are complimentary and I love that we are each echoing hope and encouragement to all who will read Dare To Dream Big.
In Dare To Dream Big I specifically wrote about "Becoming a NOISE-maker" because NOISE is my acronym for a Narrative Of Inspiration, Strength and Encouragement. This message was already on my heart due to a near death experience and other adversity I wrote about, but just prior to being invited into this Anthology I had been hospitalized with heart failure for a second time. I asked God, "how can I share this message when I'm sick again?" and I felt like He told me "Your message will be even stronger". I literally lived out being a NOISE-maker again while writing this book and my message IS stronger. NOISE is not just a word to me, it's a movement and I want others to know how they too can become a NOISE-maker! I wrote this book while my heart was only functioning at 18% and while having to wear a defibrillator LifeVest™️. I continued to dare to dream big and I continued to make NOISE. (picture is of me and my two children, December 22, 2023 when hospitalized with heart failure)
My hope is that readers will have just that - Hope. Adversity is bound to happen in life and I believe adversity is our greatest asset. If adversity is going to happen, no matter what, then let's know how to turn it into positive NOISE. I want the readers to know how not to lie down in defeat when it gets too hard and I don't want them to use toxic positivity. There is a better way. A way that works and it's real. If my vulnerability helps them understand this, then I feel like my adversity was worth it.
