You guys! It’s finally here! Today, we are over here celebrating two birthdays—that of my youngest son, who turns 3, AND that of my book baby, The Joy of Falling, which releases today!
I’m so excited to share this story with you for a number of reasons. It’s a book that was really difficult for me to write, because it’s largely about grief, and I wrote it during a time of grief (though when I originally started the book, I didn’t know I’d be experiencing the loss of my grandma!).
And now, it’s releasing during a time of immense upheaval, with so many of us experiencing grief over the loss of normalcy, the loss of jobs, the loss of vacations, the loss of dreams, and even the loss of people we love. ?
All I can say is … God knew. He knew this book would be coming out now, in a time when perhaps the world needs a message about healing and having joy in all circumstances. I pray that all of those who read it will find HOPE. If nothing else, I hope this book provides a bit of an escape from reality. After all, it takes place in the gorgeous country of New Zealand, so we can at least travel via the written word even though we are “safe at home.”
With the uncertain times going on right now and to celebrate this book baby’s release, I’m giving away a Choose Joy Survival Pack. I know I’m having trouble remembering to have joy and gratitude in the midst of all of this, so thought some reminders of joy might be just what you need as well!
The Choose Joy Survival Pack for one lucky winner includes:
- One copy of The Joy of Falling
- Joy Comes in the Morning mug
- Gratitude Journal
- 3-Minute Choose Joy Devotional
- $25 Amazon gift card (digital; not pictured)
This giveaway is U.S. only, 18+. Void where prohibited.

Thank you for thinking about your fans!
What a fabulous treat package!
I can’t wait to read your story featuring Eva and Angelina, as they rebuild their lives after a tragic accident. I also can’t wait to visit New Zealand through their eyes ,participate in a marathon via their training and hopefully fall in love again.
Gift cards are great to buy more books. I like the journal and devotional especially as we go through this emotionally stressful time. I have to start my day with a mug of coffee!
Congrats on the release of THE JOY OF FALLING!

I would really love to win this giveaway for friends.
I remember when I was faced with the reality that I will die and how scared that was for me. I remember trying to do everything to no be in that spot again. God taught me that I cannot avoid death . Most of us will die. The important thing is to enjoy life with God now so that we can continue it in eternity. I have learned the the difference between joy and happiness. I treasure the moments in my life more. If I start to get depresses about our current situation I remember God and all that He has down for me and other. I go outside and see the beauty of spring to remind me of the God’s glory and what heaven must look like.
So excited! Can’t wait to Read. Thanks so very much for this giveaway.
Thank you for the opportunity! ❤️
Thank You for the amazing giveaway! Congratulations on your New Release!
Your new book is highly recommended by so many. I can’t wait to read it. I know grief comes in many forms— death, loss of a dream, disappointment, despair, and betrayal to name a few. But faith, love, mercy, and hope can be our lifelines and our parachute.
Knowing that no matter what, we have many blessings to draw on. Those keep me going and have done for the 13 months that I have been housebound, due to living out in the sticks in a small town in Louisiana too far from any stores to walk. When I received my K1 visa and moved here 13 months ago, I wasn’t allowed to drive on my UK driving licence. I only got out occasionally when my husband was on his days off and that’s not often. Had to wait for my green card and SS number before being allowed to take driving test here. Those took 8 months. Finally got on a course which didn’t clash with my husband’s work shifts (he had to drive me there, as I wasn’t allowed to drive myself there) and got my licence at the end of February. Whew….I got my freedom back and then WHAM! The stay home order was issued. Lol. Gotta laugh…..I am still blessed in so many ways. Things could always be worse. So I do feel the joy in any situation. ❤️
