A Letter to My Son
“The Catharsis”

A few people have asked me, “Is this book an autobiography? It sure sounds like you.”

The answer to that question is: “Yes and no.”

A Letter to My Son is based on some of my life experiences; but, many of the characters inside are fictional, and some of the story ideas were sparked by nothing more than a telephone conversation.

In retrospect, this book is more a reflection of my mindset, at that time, than my whole reality. I saw myself as a victim in life, stemming from a family tragedy that occurred when I was a teenager; and, this is the vantage point from which I continued to view the world around me for many years to come.

The stories in A Letter to My Son are the snippets of my life experience that I chose to focus on back then. Evidently, the more I dwelled upon this notion that I was a casualty of unfair circumstance, the more I attracted people and situations that proved me right.

I believe we always prove ourselves right. We all receive what we expect to receive from life, and we attract the circumstances that match our personal vibrations at any given time. This is a natural, impartial law of our universe—just as gravity is—and I believe this book demonstrates it very clearly.

At the time I wrote A Letter to My Son, I had no idea why I was so compelled to purge these pessimistic thoughts from my system in such a public way. But, several years later, I know. It’s as though it was meant to be, all along, and my second and third books bring it all full circle. I was saying “good-bye” to that troubled phase in my life and opening myself up to something new. Two and a half years later, “something new” arrived—a more optimistic viewpoint that changed the path I was on and spawned the creation of my second book titled A Letter to My Daughter.

A Letter to My Daughter
“The Inspiration”

Where my first book, A Letter to My Son, took me ten years to complete (from initial conception to publication), this second book was written in only two months time. It seemed to flow out of my mind faster than my hands could type … a wonderful dilemma for a writer.

When I wrote A Letter to My Daughter, I was in a positive frame of mind, and I wanted to find the best way I could to express that. I also wanted to show how my mindset had evolved over the past three years—to really contrast this book with my first.

• So, where the first book dwells on dark topics like adversity and victimization, the second is focused on hope and personal accountability.

• Where the first book cover is a pale yellow and gray colour, the second is covered with all kinds of colours.

• My author picture on the first book is done in black and white, I appear sombre in it, and I’m standing alone with my back against a wall; my author picture on the second book is done in full colour, I appear cheerful in it, and I’m surrounded by people I love.

• Of course, the puzzle also symbolizes our interconnection regardless of our individual beliefs.

That was the purpose of this cover and book as a whole. It is me expressing a very joyful time in my life and sharing it with those I love. It is intended as an empowering message about being true to yourself while respecting other people’s choices. It’s about honouring all the different beliefs in our world and celebrating their similarities rather than belabouring their differences.

11:11
“The Revelation”

A friend of mine first introduced me to the natural Law of Attraction in early 2007, and I found myself caught up in this "New Age" sensation along with many others around me. Several of my coworkers had Buddha’s dictum “All that we are is the result of what we have thought” posted in their cubicles—each of them determined to improve their lives with the help of this daily reminder. I, too, was so inspired by this revelation that my second book came to me in record speed.

In 2007, I resolved to put this theory to the test—to determine, for myself, whether it is true that we attract what we focus on. I began meditating and making an honest effort to start every single morning with at least five grateful thoughts. After nearly three years of consciously and deliberately applying the principles of the Law of Attraction in my life, I present to you my third book titled 11:11.

For me, this is about so much more than taking responsibility for one’s own life. It’s about each of us somehow harmonizing ourselves with everyone else. I don’t think our goal, as individuals, is to follow the exact same course; rather, the key is to combine loyalty to one’s own beliefs with veneration for others’. That is the true path to harmony.

Ultimately, I think we’re all looking at the same thing. We’re just viewing it from different standpoints and using our own unique words to describe it. I hope the words I’ve chosen to describe my personal beliefs will warm your heart, and I hope you’re able to see some common ground between us. That is my intention.

    I've often contemplated writing a book with the same title you have there -- but instead wrote something much more different. I am self-published myself.

    How's it going for you?

    When you say, "I've often contemplated writing a book with the same title you have there..." which title are you referring to? A Letter to My Son? A Letter to My Daughter? Or 11:11?

    Things are going very well for me. Thank you for asking! I find that "the momentum is building," so to speak, now that I have more than one book published ... not only in the area of idea inspiration, but also in my motivation to write more, and the actual sales of the books. It's a nice feeling.

    I'm currently working on the fourth book right now, untitled as of yet. How about you? How many books have you written?
