Today’s the day! 🎉 Happy Publication Day to DEFICIENT! I’m floored by the support I’ve received from family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers who are interested in Deficient. Since 2008, I have written twelve books, and I have received countless rejection letters. (1/4)

ICYMI: I had a blast on one of my favorite podcasts, Graymalkin Lane. I was in great company with the host, Chad Anderson, as well as the talented Marvel Stormbreaker and the hilarious Scotty White. These guys made me laugh out loud! Check it out. https://t.co/OClkpdN5hv

"The act of spinning the [prayer] wheels signifies an offering of compassion to the world and shifting away from self-centered desires and attachments. It’s about what we give, not what we take."
