Did You Know That Books Make Book Babies?

How One Book Inspires Another—and Changes Lives in the Process

I believe this is how we change the world.

By doing the hard things. The creative things. The scary things.

Even when it feels uncertain. Even when it feels like no one is watching.

I know this because I’ve lived it.

There were times when leaning into my gift—writing, storytelling, guiding others—felt terrifying. There were times when I questioned if it was worth it. But I kept going.

And then, something beautiful happened.

By embracing my own gift, I was able to support others in embracing theirs. Last year, I helped Andrew publish two gratitude journals and a memoir—his words, his story, his mission. And now, his work is touching lives in ways neither of us could have imagined.

Just this week, he shared a message from a reader whose life has been changed because of his book. And in that message was a powerful reminder:

"Thank you for using your gift to help me use my gift."

This is the ripple effect.

When we step fully into who we are, we create space for others to do the same. When we dare to put our creativity, our voice, and our vision into the world, it doesn’t just impact us—it reaches farther than we can ever know.

So if you’re sitting with a dream, an idea, a passion that scares you a little… take the step. Do the thing. Say yes.

Because your gift might just be the spark that someone else needs.
