I am proud to introduce my newest book, Growing Up Is Hard To Do. This book contains thirteen inspirational stories that deal with various topics such as parents, peer pressure, coming of age, school issues, finding your purpose in life, and so much more. The topics in Growing Up Is Hard To Do are ones that children of all ages will encounter at some point in time in their lives. As a mother of two young children I decided to write this book to help children understand that they are not alone in facing these issues. This book helps children see these difficult topics in a positive way to help them deal with whatever life throws their way. Growing Up Is Hard To Do encourages strength, resilience, and positivity which are necessary tools to help us find our way whenever we feel lost or overwhelmed at times. In writing Growing Up Is Hard To Do my objective was to share my life experiences hoping that others can learn from my mistakes and hopefully avoid making the same mistakes that I did. I am still learning every day how to navigate through life's muddy waters. Life can be difficult, complicated, and messy at times, but it also can be amazing and beautiful. It is through life's challenges that we learn the most not only about life, but also about ourselves. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
