As I wrapped presents this morning, I thought abou

As I wrapped presents this morning, I thought about Rubi and Erin’s families and how they have presents to wrap for them but no longer have them to give the presents to.

Then I thought about who is funding the NRA and started to Google. Yes, the majority are the NRA members but then I found that the top private donor also used to own an aviation company that I did a lot of work with. I set up their fuel supply and saved the company a ton of money on fuel for their aircraft
.
If you hear me share what the biggest driving force was for me to leave corporate aviation, it’s that I didn’t feel like I was making a positive change in the world for my children’s future.

This is the evidence right here that I made the right decision.

I feel very strongly about not supporting the businesses of those who support things I don’t believe in or treat people in ways that go against my belief. I don’t eat at Chick Fil A, avoid Walmart at all costs, speak out against PG&E and more. I’m saddened to know that for years I unknowingly supported a business owner who was shoveling the savings I made for him to fund an organization that has no problem with the safety of my children at school being threatened and innocent children being murdered at school.

Listen to your gut. Do your research. Take a stand.

Join organizations and causes that are advocating for what you believe in. @momsdemand @everytown are great examples.

I’m not perfect and I’m learning along the way but I know my gut hasn’t steered me wrong and I will do my best to ensure that the businesses and people I align with also value what I value. The safety of children in schools is a top priority for me.

TW: adoption, infertility⁠ ⁠ NOT YOURS TO KEEP

TW: adoption, infertility⁠
⁠
NOT YOURS TO KEEP is a thriller in which a woman who gives up her child for adoption goes searching for her decades later, while an adoption social worker struggles with infertility and meets a birth mother who she thinks might have the perfect baby for her...oh the twists and turns and drama!⁠
⁠
Zelly Ruskin truly hit it out of the park with her debut novel and my stomach still turns into knots thinking about what I read!⁠
⁠
Zelly joined me to share how she came up with the book and how her previous job of being an adoption social worker played a part in this book. She's also sharing how later on she struggled with fertility issues and wonders if she could have done her job had she known. ⁠
⁠
I love Zelly and we've been lucky enough to meet almost a year ago in NYC and spend the day together. This was a blast to get to talk all about her book and the stories behind it!⁠

I’m now releasing two podcast episodes a week on

I’m now releasing two podcast episodes a week on My Simplified Life and already this month, we’ve talked about all of these topics!

These books were not only fun and entertaining to read, but they also brought to light meaningful issues that most of us experience. They were woven into the characters and storylines in beautiful ways that definitely had me feeling it was realistic and familiar.

Ep 257 BLUEBIRD DAY with Meg Tady
Ep 258 PICK UP with Nora Dahlia
Ep 259 NEW HAPPY with Stephanie Harrison
Ep 260 THE CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN with Hannah Mary McKinnon (aka Holly Cassidy)
Ep 261 THE LAST SANDSTORM with Jasmin Faulk-Dickerson

My goal is to not only promote authors and books but to share life stories and talk about important topics and issues.

Oprah interviewed Claire Keegan last week and Claire shared how when we can’t feel sadness, we lack empathy. I want for each and every one of us to be able to feel when we hear the stories of others. If we can feel sad for what someone else has experienced, then we can empathize and start to understand.

Growing up in another country comes with very diff

Growing up in another country comes with very different cultural identities, influences and traditions that Americans aren't always familiar with. ⁠
⁠
Jasmin Faulk-Dickerson was born and raised in Saudi Arabia and lived there during the Gulf War. Although her parents were very progressive, she still lived with Saudi traditions outside of her house and to a certain extent, even within the walls of her home. ⁠
⁠
Jasmin details what it was like growing up in a country where women needed permission for most things, where mainstream media and shows weren't the norm and how war changed that. ⁠
⁠
Seeing friends whose ultimate goals were to all get married right away, Jasmin wanted more for herself. Ultimately, she left for America and has made an incredible life here with love and a family. As a social identity advocate she promotes gender equality, ethical equity, and social justice. ⁠
⁠
I'm so grateful to Matt Gilhooly of The Life Shift podcast for bringing Jasmin and I together and for Jasmin to share her story with all of us. Listening to the stories of others gives us a new insight into something we will never experience ourselves. This is why it's so important to read and listen to these stories...⁠

Want to know why I started “Books By The Fire”

Want to know why I started “Books By The Fire” to share books that publishers, authors and publicists send me?

As an author, I know what it means to have someone share your book. I also know what it feels like to send your book out to the masses and not have it be shared.

I always share books that I’m sent. I also read cover to cover every book of every author I interview (and those of my clients’!).

My next goal is to start sharing the advanced copies I’m receiving digitally because they also deserve to be shared.

I’m reading the books, reviewing them and sharing them and often times, inviting the authors to join me on my podcast. We are talking about life lessons and personal journeys. No topic is off limits!

Know that if you send me your book, I treasure it. I’m just like Oprah…our books are like our Tupperware…they don’t leave the house!

I am a big fan of romcoms, contemporary fiction, winter (as long as I'm by the fireplace) and Switzerland....so I LOVED reading THE CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN! ⁠
⁠
Hannah Mary McKinnon (aka Holly Cassidy as she's known in the romcom world) chatted with me about living in Switzerland, how she started writing and the elements of herself that are in this terrific book! ⁠
⁠
We have an Advent calendar in our house and I spend weeks planning out activities, buying tickets or getting slots for things, scheduling playdates, getting a new holiday book and more. THE CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN is not only the adult version of this but one that makes Callie explore and find who she was before her heart was broken. ⁠
⁠
Like me, Hannah Mary is also half Swiss, so of course her main character, Callie is also half Swiss which made the cookie references so much more sweeter! ⁠
⁠
Grab yourself a copy because you more than deserve to curl up with a read that will have you laughing...and maybe crying a bit too!⁠

The biggest commonality we have as human beings is

The biggest commonality we have as human beings is a desire to be happy. ⁠
⁠
People want to be happy and right now we see that many are striving so hard to be happy that it's at the expense of the happiness of others. ⁠
⁠
I read NEW HAPPY in October and found myself taking photos of pages of quotes, nodding my head in agreement with all Stephanie said and then wondering how we can all work towards being happy and making this world a place where not some or a few are happy, but everyone is.⁠
⁠
Stephanie Harrison is truly a gift to all of us. Getting the opportunity to talk to her and listen to her beautiful words left me feeling hopeful, calm and of course...happy. ⁠
⁠
If we all strive to build community, listen to one another, find empathy for each other, acknowledge that deep down, we all want the same thing, then we will start to find the common ground that's missing. ⁠
⁠
Give yourself the gift of NEW HAPPY. Make being happy your gift to yourself and to the world. I don't think we could ever regret such a thing. ⁠
⁠
A huge thank you to Stephanie for sharing her incredible gifts with all of us. I'm so grateful to know her! ⁠
