about this book: Rise to The Rhythm-Awaken The Beat and Live Your Life's Highest Capabilities is my second book, and it's personal to me because I self-published it on my own. Unlike my first book produced by a vanity publishing company who cared nothing about the writing. Rise to The Rhythm is a book written for those who've been down for too long but are now ready to get back up & take control over their lives.

It took me four and a half years to write this book. It truly has been a labor of love and frustration. Here's what I mean. Labor of Love: I was, not dying but, living to do a book about how important it is for you to find your life's rhythm and get connected to living it on the beat. Because you'll find it to be the glue, you need to reassemble the broken and scattered pieces associated with the disconnect of living a stagnant life in which will get you nowhere.

Here's the thing: This book isn't necessarily about dance in which one might perceive from the title and or cover. It's about achievement through mental movement and "life in action" choreography designed by me for your mind, body, and soul.

Frustration: It was difficult to come up with solutions for problems we all deal with such as how to handle rejection, finding the motivation to get up & groove, procrastination, and overcoming your fears. My goal was to put a different spin or twist on these common setbacks and or challenges.

My inspiration for the book cover stemmed from wanting to do something different. Because what I didn't want was to be common and or generic. I felt the cover needed to reflect on me and the artistic work I do. I describe my book cover as a collage that shows movement, sex appeal, connection, freedom, and how you can use your life's rhythm and ability to obtain what you desire.

Yes, it was a complete challenge trying to create chapters I felt would not only appeal to readers but also provide them with an action plan that didn't feel so tedious but one with intrigue, excitement, and obtainability.
