About Journey to Joy and the stories in this book. Every woman’s journey is unique. Our journeys are sometimes ordinary to the naked eye, but to the critical observer and the woman who lived it, her journey is one of magnificent courage and perhaps a leap of faith into uncharted waters. This uplifting book invites an array of stories including those of women who have found true joy and freedom through the living of everyday life or those who are still finding their way on this path. A Journey to Joy is sometimes accompanied by stepping out of one’s comfort zone and always accompanied by life lessons. The newly acquired wisdom is sometimes hard-won and yet they often become the sweetest to savor. These stories will reveal the depth of the lives of women – the bitter and sweet, the fruitful and lost, the hard-fought battles and the ease of allowing. Is your story a fit? Most likely, yes. Stories may be of spiritual transformation – a revelation of personal gifts or an acceptance of self or God; the joy of creation – love relationships, a new business or career, a family; or the joy of growth through adversity or unexpected circumstances.  There are as many stories as there are women. The question for you is… which Journey of Joy will you choose to share?

We’re gathering a select group of amazing women from all walks of life
to share their stories in this anthology book, and
YOU are invited to participate!

And we have more exciting news for you…

The release date for the Journey to Joy is scheduled for May 2013

The stories will not only be a great read, they will provide tips and tools for the reader to enhance her personal journey and fill it with power, ease and joy.  Being a part of this life-changing anthology book is a great way for you to be an author this year!  So, why should you participate in this book with other authors instead of writing your own?

Collaboration is the quickest and best method to success.

• Your audience will grow exponentially as your partners (the co-authors) discuss and sell your book to their aligned and warm clients, network and friends. 
• Your book and your story will be read by people you wouldn’t otherwise have access to and they will have your contact information to reach out to you directly.
• Sharing your story in this book with the stories of 39 other women will add power and ‘oomph’ to your message. 
• All chapters in the book will provide compelling and inspirational stories and lessons, so the benefit to the readers is exponentially multiplied.

** Collaborating with others brings better results than going it alone!  It’s the new paradigm for our shifting society and as a conscious woman; you are on the leading edge of this highest form of meaningful collaboration.

Testimonials From Our Anthology Book Authors Women Living Consciously

“Working with Powerful You Publishing was the perfect step that I needed to become an author. Having a team of professionals to offer training and support gave me the confidence I needed to move forward with my dream. Thank you Sue and Kathy for putting together a very reasonably priced package and a clear system of support! “ Pat Jones ~ Healing Adventures www.healingadventures.com "Working with Kathy, Sue, Sheri and our fantastic trainers on this project was absolutely one of the most professional, inspiring and fun projects I’ve ever undertaken! I had listened in on the informational call and gotten information on becoming a published author for the project several times and each time – I felt a tug on my heart to jump on board. I’m SO happy I finally decided to sign on! It is truly one of the best things I’ve ever done! You have all made this entire process so smooth, so seamless and so easy for all of us! I can’t thank you all enough! Your words of encouragement and cheering us on along the way made it feel like we were all part of a “family” of women who have a deep desire to help others on our journey! Holding our book in my hands the first time and really seeing my own story in print was indescribable! You helped me do it and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You’ve thought of everything we needed and gave it all to us and then some! I feel truly blessed to be one of the co-authors and part of this inspiring group of women! I saw doors opening for me almost instantaneously! I simply can’t thank you enough!” Christine Suva ~ THRIVE Coach Services, Inc. www.thrivecoachservices.com "What an amazing experience! Sue and Kathy are wonderful women to work with. They are sensitive, gentle and encouraging. Several times I found myself blocked and dragging my feet, yet both Sue and Kathy worked closely and personally with me to make it all work smoothly and harmoniously. I am delighted to know them and hope to work with them again in the future!" Lynda Flowers ~ MomMeRX, Inc. www.MomMeRx.com " Participating in this project has been an incredible experience… it makes you dig deep down in your soul. You go through a feeling of total exposure, and then when it’s finally done… you think ~WOW~ what an amazing accomplishment!!! And such a therapeutic release of good endorphin’s!!!” Suzanne Toepperwein ~ Alamo City Golf Trail www.alamocitygolftrail.com “Since expressing my story “How I Healed From the Disease to Please,” I have experienced a catharsis that has deepened the relationship with myself as well enriched it with my parents. Writing my story clearly provoked an energetic release of emotions, and my physical body has become more aligned and tuned in to higher vibrations, from which I feel a sense of freedom physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Furthermore, I know it has touched people; I have received letters from women who relate to my story and would like assistance in navigating their journey. If you have a story to share and know it may help even one person and even if you have never written a story (as was the case with me) or do not know how to begin, I highly recommend working with Powerful You! Publishing. Sue and Kathy are very professional and offer a publishing process that will put you at ease and give you peace of mind. The step by step process, coupled with professional editing and training is far more valuable than the cost to participate in such a life affirming project for women around the world.Your story will effect someone somewhere, and if you are someone who desires to make a meaningful difference in the world, Powerful You! Publishing can assist you to make you do just that! “ Jennifer Connell ~ Conscious Leadership Development www.jenniferconnell.com "This was a fantastic experience, much more than I ever imagined. The training helped me tremendously in terms of writing and communicating. The marketing of the book was excellent, the cover is beautiful, the editing terrific. I’m so glad I took the leap of faith and entered into this project. It is the perfect example of collaboration and the power of network marketing (with a heart!). I will definitely do it again!” Madeline Ebelini ~ Integrative Mindfulness www.IntegrativeMindfulness.net "If I had to use just one word to sum up my experience with being a contributing author to the #1 Amazon best seller, Women Living Consciously, it would be – phenomenal! Here’s why: 1) Sue and Kathy are simply fantastic! These two talented women really know their stuff and deliver it so professionally and authentically. 2) Training: Wow! The speaker’s knowledge and deliverables were well worth the cost of the program alone. I learned so much practical info on how to market and promote myself as well as grow professionally. 3) Editor: Double Wow! Sheri Horn Hasan is an incredible editor. Her insight gives her the ability to pull your story out of you. Then she so brilliantly edits it to perfection. 4) Powerful You!: My experience with PY has been amazing. In the short time that I have been a member, I have met so many incredible women and have already developed friendships that I know may last a lifetime. My overall rating for being a contributing author is AAA+. Just the act of putting my story on paper was a healing experience. But, it was the positive ripple effect that I saw occur once the book was released that was beyond my wildest dreams. I cannot tell you how much joy that brings to me. I am most grateful to Sue and Kathy and highly recommend participating in any future projects sponsored by these amazing women. " Lorraine Smith ~ www.http://lorrainemsmith.com "The Powerful You Network is made up of the most supportive and interesting people in the world. They respect you for who and what you are, not for what they want you to be. They have allowed me to begin a new path in my life. They are a legacy of love and support.” Gilda Farias Healy ~ Gilda Healy Consultants www.linkedin.com/in/gildahealy "By writing my testimonal “The Fire,” it helped me to heal and hopefully help others who have been in a similar situation to know, they are not alone and it will get better.” Tonya S. Coy ~ Empowering Your Success, LLC www.empoweringyoursuccessllc.com "I spoke at a Powerful You! event and had the pleasure to meet Kathy and Sue. They are delightful women and savvy business entrepreneurs. Even though I had self published all my prior books, I was excited to participate in this transformational anthology. The Powerful You! team knows the ropes of publishing and printing, and really will hold your hand through the entire process. They keep their deadlines and help you meet yours. You will learn, grow and definitely get great results as a result of publishing with Powerful You!

"I heard all my life how becoming a best selling author would enhance my career, give me recognition and credibility. I never thought it would be possible because I felt I did not process the necessary writing skills. Thanks to PY! Publishing, I become a best selling author in less than 6 weeks! They simplified the process and supplied all the tools and experts while I made the decision to step out of my comfort zone and take that leap of faith. It was the most self-fulfilling project I have ever completed. I was able to share my message to the world and be an inspiration to others.

The collaboration of all involved and the peace of knowing that I was working with a true expert in more ways than one was a refreshing experience! Your planned ‘before, during and after’ networking techniques were a nice component to the process as well. It is by no accident that we reached the top so quickly on Amazon but instead because of your foresight and hard working efforts and strong business techniques the book is a success.

Being an Author in this Book Exponentially Magnifies
Your Contribution to People and the Planet.

You are already making a unique and meaningful contribution through your work, your relationships and your actions – why not exponentially multiply your reach by being part of a team of women who are doing it too?  As you come together with other co-authors to share messages of empowerment and transformation, you will be contributing to raise the vibration of the planet.  That’s right; your chapter will enhance and inspire the lives of all women who read it and the people they share it with. 

“Being a published author has been my most satisfying professional accomplishment and credential. The written word heals broken hearts for writer and reader. Being an author has opened many doors for me as an expert on grief and given referrals to my private practice as well as interviews for newspapers and radio. My first person memoir has helped people who are suffering loss so much so that a foreign publisher, St. Pauls and Better Yourself Books in Mumbai, India picked it up in its first year and published it. It is now being distributed in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, The Philippines, India and Africa. One never knows what will happen when we trust our spiritual practices. Perhaps the greatest personal satisfaction comes from the letters I receive from people all over the world thanking me for understanding their experience of loss and for having the courage to write it. That would never have happened if I had not been a published author.”

Mary Jane Hurley Brant, M.S.,CGP "When Every Day Matters: A Mother’s Memoir on Love, Loss and Life" www.wheneverydaymatters.com

“Wow! Wow! Wow! Writing my book has sky rocketed my business to an entirely new level! I knew I was a leading expert in Public Speaking; however the world didn’t realize it until I finished my book. Finalizing my book gave me the expert credibility and international exposure I had always desired. As a result, I have received a constant influx of new speaking opportunities, continuous flow of new clients and substantially increased my business income. Some of the highlights include a National Speaking Tour and a Television Interview on FOX 4. Talk about results! I am absolutely thrilled. I am incredibly grateful that I finally shared my book with the world.”
