WE’LL START ON THE FUTURE AND WORK OURSELVES BACKWARDS IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND YOUR BEGINNING – HEALTHTODAY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE?
Well, at this very point in my life, my plans are to promote my book. I wish to promote the book to as many people as possible. I want to do more book tours locally, and overseas, and I would love to meet Oprah or Ellen, pass them my book and let the Universe take it from there.
WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO WRITING THIS BOOK?
Generally, I have always wanted to do a lot of things, but through all my to-do list, and new year resolutions, I have realised that it is best to focus on doing one thing at a time and doing what you love as well as loving what you do. I’ve done the rest so now, I’ve decided to embark on something new – getting published.
For the last 10 years, I have been giving talks and enrichment classes which were scaled out trainings, and signature programmes that ideally help people to discover the pathway to purpose – knowing one’s inner self – the body, mind and soul. But on the other hand, I love writing and I love creating content for videos, photography, and for the shows, I hosted on television and radio. Being a published author was calling my name out loud!
