Today marks the beginning of a new chapter.
While *My Journey Home* wasn't selected in the Hay House publishing competition, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity, the encouragement, and everything the experience taught me.
One thing has become even clearer through this journey...
This book is meant to be shared.
So today, with excitement and a full heart, I'm moving forward with Balboa Press (a division of Hay House) to publish *My Journey Home*.
This memoir is more than a story of travel. It's a story of healing, courage, letting go, and discovering that the longest journey we ever take is the one back to ourselves.
To everyone who has cheered me on, read chapters, offered encouragement, shared kind words, or simply believed in meβthank you. Your support has meant more than you know.
The journey continues, and I can't wait to invite you along as this book comes to life.
Here's to new beginnings, unexpected paths, and trusting where life leads.
With gratitude,
Monica β€οΈ
