This is my first blog post on my new site! I am so excited to get back to blogging. It kind of feels like riding a bike, which I also haven’t done in a very long time, for fear of crashing into a tree…which is what happened the last time I rode a bike…

But, hey, I guess that’s what helmets are for right?!

So, I’m putting on my blogging helmet and taking this good ‘ole blog for ride around the block…

I thought, I’d start with what I’ve been up to lately…

So, here goes…

2019 has proven to be a life changing year. I say that every year, but this year, I mean it…

I started coaching at Self-Publishing School. Helping aspiring authors, write, publish, and market their books….AND create online courses!

And I just got back from Cancun, where I got to meet the entire SPS team in person! I’ve been working with this bunch of awesome peeps for the last 6 months, but we only met virtually…so being able to actually be in real life together was so crazy cool!

And did I mention we went to Cancun!!!! The land of tequila, tacos, and tons of FUN!

I also just celebrated my 38th birthday…and to think of all the ups and downs and all arounds that God’s walked me through this last 38 years…i am just so full of gratitude…

As I write this, I’m sitting on my patio of our new country home on the North Shore of Oahu. The winds blowing and the chickens are crowing…ahhhh, there’s no place like home!

It’s crazy how God works, when He’s in control…life seems to just take care of itself.

One of the biggest goals I’ve had this year is finishing my book.

After all, I work for the premiere online school in Self Publishing, it’s kind of a requirement, lol…

But seriously, writing book #2 has been on the BIG GOAL list for quite some time…

The last book I wrote was in 2014 and up until I started coaching at Self-Publishing School, I wasn’t sure when I’d finish my second book. The first time, I was alone, I didn’t know what I was doing, it was painful and scary…

And the truth is, although it hasn’t been a walk in the park…I’ve felt supported through it all! I finished my rough draft within 40 days, and I’ll launch by the end of October!

I started sharing the behind the scenes of writing my book on social media and the #1 thing I loved seeing was how many of my friends had dreams of writing a book too…but were scared and didn’t know what to do, just like me the first time…

So friend, if you feel called to write and you wanna join me in writing a book, but have no idea where to begin, here’s how I started, you’re gonna love this article on How To Write A Book! It’s the exact steps I’m taking each and everyday! Read it, let me know what you think, and I’d love to support you!

We also welcomed Maximus to the Ketcham Ohana. He’s a 2 year old shitzu-poodle that has stolen my heart. We re-homed him from a military family that was moving and the moment I met him, I knew he was ours!

That’s all for now! I’d love to know…how’s 2019 been for you? How are you doing with your 2019 goals? Wanna join me in writing your book? I’d love to hear from you!

All my love & aloha,

Sloane K.
