Thirteen.
For some, the number carries a shadow. A superstition. Something to avoid or explain away.
For me, it carries gratitude.
Thirteen books. Thirteen long journeys of words, questions, prayers, revisions, doubts, and hope. Thirteen reminders that the work was never about numbers, but about people.
This thirteenth book feels different.
Not louder. Not longer. Not more complicated.
Quieter.
Deeper.
More honest.
Its title is one word. A word I once misunderstood. A word I chased without knowing it. A word I resisted because I thought it meant settling.
I was wrong.
That one word has changed the way I live. The way I measure success. The way I face disappointment. The way I rest.
It names the very ingredient we all seem to be missing—even when we have more than we ever imagined we would. Even when life appears full.
We live surrounded by noise and options and hurry, yet many of us remain restless. Uneasy. Still searching.
This word speaks to that ache.
It does not promise escape from pain. It does not deny longing. But it offers something sturdier than circumstances—a peace that holds, a comfort that stays, a freedom not dependent on outcomes.
Book thirteen will be released on April 7, 2026.
It is an invitation. Not to acquire more. But to receive what we have been overlooking.
To discover that what we’ve been searching for may already be closer than we think.
As April approaches, I find myself grateful. Not for the number. But for the journey that led here.
And hopeful—that this one word might meet others the way it met me, and quietly change everything.
