Val, tell us about your book?

My book has recently become an Amazon Bestseller in two Categories first Christian Living & Devotionals and second Best Seller in Worship & Devotions. “Everyday Uplifting You: Daily Encouragement for Your Soul 365 Days of Any Year” is filled with daily nuggets to jumpstart your day. The nuggets are short but very powerful.

How did you come up with idea for this book?

I was actually writing another book when this book came about. I have at least 17 aunts, who are all very dear to me, but as in most families there are some who stand out for different reasons, maybe they are the strong one, or the one who always has the ability to get things done. For me there are 3 aunts that have always been strong Christians who played a huge role in my life. One of them went on to be with the Lord. One of my aunts went through a series of challenges; she had several strokes, her husband went home to be with the Lord and she fell in the yard requiring emergency surgery. I’ve seen her sad, I’ve seen her cry, but on this particular visit, I saw her broken and it tore at me and I wanted to do something, anything to help her understand how much she was loved and valued. It was right there in her bedroom that I got the idea to write motivational quotes for everyday and it was there, that the design started to fall into place.

What was the most difficult aspect of writing this book?

With this particular book I honestly can’t say there was a difficult part with this writing. It was a labor of love for me.

Why do you write?

I have a genuine love for people. Writing helps me to send that love out to the masses. In my writing, I hope that readers will see and feel the genuine love and care that I seek to express. I use the avenue of writing to express what is in my heart to be a blessing to people all over the world. If I can help to inspire, uplift and motivate others with this gift that He has given me while pointing them to Christ then that is a blessing for me.

What valuable lessons do you want readers to learn from your book?

We can all use encouraging words sometimes and we are never alone even if it seems like it. A lot of the daily motivation is this book is designed to help us keep going. It’s written in a way that the reader will know that I am right there walking with them through each day. But most importantly, our heavenly Father is also there each step of the way with us, hence you will see the phrase, Together we can and we will.”
