Words alone cannot express my deep gratitude for a good life on this side of heaven.
But…the one word that does come to mind is “Thankful.”
Looking forward to many more years of serving others globally.

The national book tour is winding down but continues this month through my final tour stop/city number 26 in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard followed by a return trip to The Bahamas (Nassau) at the U.S. Embassy and All Seasons Book & Gift Store.
“Everything rises and falls on leadership,” says John C. Maxwell. This year-long tour has been carefully orchestrated to a myriad of conversations about leadership with business, community, academic, and faith leaders across the country (26 total cities). It’s a 2-hour interactive and engaging event at bookstores, libraries, conferences, , and churches, that concludes with a book signing.
I am extremely grateful for the unwavering support from SO many book lovers, friends, family, independent bookstores, social media platforms, podcast hosts, publishing insiders, book reviewers, and Barnes & Noble Booksellers as a strategic partner. The next book release will be in 2028. Standby…
