PRESALE IS OFFISH HAPPENING

A life long dream is currently in the works...

🌵PRESALE FOR ‘SYMPATHY FOR THE STRONG ONES’ IS OFFICIALLY OPEN. EVERY BOOK PURCHASED DURING PRESALE WILL COME SIGNED WITH BLESSINS FROM ME, A SPECIAL TYPED POEM JUST FOR YOU, SUPPORT THE PHYSICAL PUBLISHING OF THE BOOK, AND HELP PAY FOR MY KIDS FUTURE THERAPY AND PUP’S WELL BEING.

There’s been many moments over the past few months where I’ve actually questioned my sanity. Moving cross country (again), trying to literally rescue a stray dog off the stress of Texas, buying a home in the burbs, birthing a book, birthing a kid — all blessings in their own way, but none the less, A FUCKING LOT for one human to emotionally process (hence all the crying).

I’ve also changed the name of my website, updated my IG account (which are both really big deals for small biz owners), started a new morning writing practice, picked up a few freelancing gigs, and took multiple floor naps on Frank and Nola’s beds this week because we still don’t have a couch.

But when I find myself getting overwhelmed at ALL. THE. THINGS, I remind myself of two things…

1. I have no control over the Divine plan that’s laid out for me.

2. PUBLISHING A BOOK IS MY LITERAL DREAM COME TRUE

Since I can remember being able to remember memories (LOLOLOL), a distinct, visceral, non-negotiable one has been to publish a book — and here I am.

Living out my little Vanessa dreams.

So yeah, life’s been nutty, but when isn’t it? When does it not all come at you at once?Whether you have a single immensely intense occurrence happening or 18 at once, life happens everywhere, all at once.

I want you to know when you support the book, you’re not just buying another piece for your bookshelf.

You’re supporting a woman who has been told she would never be a writer.

You’re supporting a small, one woman show.

You’re supporting a grass-roots efforts.

You’re supporting someone who will be keeping someone else alive in the very near future.

You’re supporting 35 years worth of scribble, passion, and a bit of stubborness.

You’re supporting a dream.

So thanks for being here — and thanks for being a new piece of my DNA.
