I am thrilled to announce that this book is finished and available for purchase on Amazon. It is available now in print form, and will soon be available in Kindle Edition (3 days). Thank you to all who encouraged me in this endeavor! I have learned so much.
It's a modern day miracle to have this book in my hands. This has been a journey of faith every step of the way. When I conceived the idea of writing a book to help others set boundaries with food, I knew I would need some kind of coaching. God led me to a seminar from a mental health professional that gave me confidence to write, and informed me of a writing course I could take that very month. The Spirit was with me when I decided to purchase the course. God inspired me as I found my population, problem, promise, and program. He was with me as I outlined. God helped me create a title and a website. He helped me find people that gave me feedback about writing and encouraged me in my cause. I realized I needed more help than I could get from my writing course.

God led me to hire a professional editor who helped me a lot, and inspired me to keep going. He sent me material and resources. I rewrote, corrected, and edited again and again, until I had changed so much I felt ashamed for even trying to write! I have felt ashamed of many of the words on this blog that have come across as harsh or judgmental, that have many errors and show a lack of patience to make sure are written well. I can't believe how much I have improved in my writing, which means I was not very good at it before.
God comforted me to keep going. The scripture in Hebrews 12:11 spoke to me. God inspired my husband to help me find connections in my community that led me to ways of formatting book. He led me to a writers group that helped me find a way to publish. God inspired my brother to create an amazing cover. I often wondered why I was doing this and where I was going, but faith pushed me onward. When I got the book proof in the mail I was devastated to discover several more errors, and a not good enough sales pitch on the back cover. It was almost too much! But I kept at it, and today I approved the final perfected copy to be published and set up on Amazon for distribution. What a glorious day!
This is my gift to the world this Christmas.
