1. Your new book is Joyful Living: 101 Ways to Transform Your Life and Revitalize Your Spirit. What inspired you to write the book?

I wrote Joyful Living because I believe the joy is the highest vibration in the known universe. I have been a medical intuitive for fifteen years, and in my practice I have seen that joy is the most powerful energy that we can access for healing. So, I consider it part of my life's work to share that information with the world.

2. Is it really possible for us to be happy—all the time?

That's a tall order for anyone. We will most likely experience life's ups and downs, but how we weather that storm is where the power of joy comes in. If we have consistently established a practice of joyful living, mindfulness, and self-care, then we are better prepared to deal with the complexities of modern life. Although we may not be ecstatically happy all of the time, we will be able to draw on our own inner wellspring of joy and tranquility and feel that at any moment. And all it really takes is practice. In the book I take you through 101 exercises or activities that can bring you joy on a daily basis. So by making happiness a habit, we can bring it into our lives on a consistent basis. And it's pretty easy; it really only takes a little bit of effort.

3. Joyful Living contains 101 ways to infuse your life with joy. Does the book need to be read in order?

The book is meant to be read in any order! You can open to any page and read the short inspirational chapter and do the activity and bring joy into your life immediately. If you want to read in order, you certainly can integrate progression to really make a commitment to joy on a regular basis. But, it's meant to be a fun book and there are no rules! Only joy!

4. You are also a medical intuitive. How do your intuitive abilities help in your life?

I feel extremely fortunate to have the intuitive abilities that I do because I have a very clear and close relationship with my own personal spirit guides; I feel supported and cared for by them all the time. If I have questions or challenges in my life I feel like not only do I have a support system in the physical world in the form of my friends and family, but I also have a non-physical support system in the form of all of my wonderful and benevolent guides (who are like friends and family). These guides help me make decisions, and I believe they infuse extra energy into my life based upon the intentions that I set for myself. I feel extremely blessed.

5. What do you hope your readers will take away from Joyful Living?

I hope that my readers will tap into their own inner wellspring of joy and use it to heal and enhance their lives. I hope my readers will enjoy greater well-being and happiness and also put the focus back on fun in their lives. So often in today's world we are rushing here and there and never really stopping to be mindful and notice how wonderful our lives are. So, I hope that my readers tap into that energy and information and whatever else is for their highest good that they can take away from this book. They also get the opportunity in this book to connect to their own spirit guides, which is such a joy and such support in one's life that I can't recommend it enough.
