Jeff could you please
tell me about yourself? Do you have any children or wish to someday?
I wouldn’t know where to start, or end :) (b) I do not have
biological children, although I have been like a parent for most of my adult
life. I have many people close to me who I meet that need with. I do, though,
still imagine that I will one day adopt or have children, after the book
writing madness has let me go. The Divine Mother has her own ideas about my
creative output.
How did Soulshaping
come about?
It was birthed in a soulnami of inner dimensions. I always
knew I was going to write but I had much to do in the form of prep work first-
Divine Preparation at the School of Heart Knocks. When the moment was right, it
pushed through me like a torrent, demanding to be expressed.
What advice would you
give a parent who is choosing to walk a conscious parenting path?
Do your own inner work. And do it often. Clear your own
emotional debris. Learn your own projections and patterns. And continue to
prioritize your quest for your own unique purpose. The more aligned you are
with your own purpose, the more satisfied you will be when the kids demand your
attention.
You never know when your soul is going to call out and draw
you into choosing a more connected path. Walking your true path is not easy,
but it is more rewarding than stumbling along.
Any suggestions for teens who are venturing out into the world? Tips on how to listen to their inner guidance, connect with their soulular phone?
Don’t let anyone else tell them who they are. Even well
intentioned advice givers cannot know anyone else’s unique path. Also, create
space in your life for developing a relationship with your inner voice. The
deeper you go, the higher you will climb later in life.
What was the
publishing process like for you? Did you go the traditional or self-publishing
route?
I turned down Eckhart Tolle’s original Power of Now
publisher-Namaste- to self publish. I wanted the book produced on my terms. It
then went wild, and I accepted an offer from North Atlantic Books the following
spring.
How has social media
helped with the launch of your book?
Facebook has been wonderful to me, a beautiful soulpod of
support... Many there have helped to bring my voice to the world..
How important do you
think it is for authors to use social media in connecting with their readers
and promoting their material?
It is a beautiful way to connect, far easier than exhausting
book tours, and essential in a time when publishers cannot afford to support their
authors. Its social media, or bust.
I know I personally
enjoy reading your Tweets and Facebook status updates.
Thank you. I enjoy writing them.
Do you handle all
your social media activities or do you have a social media manager or
assistant?
I have a brilliant assistant- Tarini- who handles twitter
posts, and who does my videos and is helping with Soulshaping University. I
handle all my own emails, preferring to keep it real in my connections with
those who have been good enough to support me.
What's the best way
