How Many Books Have You Sold.

   Writing a book is a new experience for me, and channeling a book makes it even more special, not because it is is more difficult, but because it's easier. In fact writing the books that I have recently had published has been nothing but fun for me, except now I have some new hurdles to jump over and skills to learn. Why? What do I have to understand? Well, everybody is asking me how many books I've sold and well, it's driving me a bit bonkers!
   You see, when Ananda began channeling and telling me that I would be writing books for and with them I was certainly surprised, but willing and eager to engage in that process. But all along that journey I never had an agenda for the books, I was just getting them channeled, then transcribed and eventually published all of which took the better part of two years of my life. Quite a journey it was too.
Surrendering to energies that were not mine, doing things that weren't my idea (like giving up tea!), and even living somewhere I had chosen to leave. It all worked out however and there are two, beautiful books with my name on them at my local book store! What an amazing journey I am on!




  I haven't learned yet how to answer all the people asking me how my books are selling. It's only been three months since they went on the store shelves and became available onAmazon, but so many are asking, wanting to know numbers and  even dollars. Little did I know that I would get sucked into the western need for results to decide if something is a success, but I did.
   After receiving the totals for my quarterly sales I was very disappointed and wanted to cry. No, actually that's not true,. I wanted to want to cry. You see, with Ananda in my life as coach, guide and at times, personal trainer I can no longer dip down into depression or sadness, because I have the truth whispered in my ear at all time. " This is not your project Dear One", they said. "We are in charge of marketing, it is our job, not yours, to bring this teaching to as many people as we can". So after hearing the small numbers that had been sold, I sat myself down and gave myself a good talking to for a day or so.

  This isn't yours Tina, you had no plans to write these books, they truly are not your to worry about. Get on with your life, get painting, writing and teaching and allow the work to grow of its own accord, slowly and organically as I know it will. The books are amazing, not because I wrote them but because I didn't! They are both books I would pick up myself, books I'd love to read even if I hadn't written them, so I know word will spread and sales will increase. Not to buy me anything in particular, but to help buy books and fund events so that people like you can meet Ananda and the others I channel, and learn the truth about life, love and spirit.

   So take a look at the link below and consider, just consider picking up a copy of one of these books for Valentine's Day or an upcoming birthday. I guarantee you'll enjoy the contents. It will expand your mind and open your heart and that of whom ever you give it to.
