I just joined Goodreads Author Program and was asked what inspired me to write my book which had me looking back at the summer of 2016 when I got ill, recalling how awful I felt physically and emotionally. The only good thing about it is how it made me put pen to paper. I felt an acute calling to express myself,…
What is the deepest driving force in your life? Have you ever asked yourself this existential question? Done some soul searching to find the perhaps not so obvious reasons behind what drives you.
