Times when things are changing, sometimes in a good way, but often in a manner that shakes things up, creates tension, and leads to a different future. But let me say, I had absolutely zero plans to write this book, [*Pivotal Moments*](https://www.amazon.com/Pivotal-Moments-Springboard-New-Possibilities/dp/196283462X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0). Instead, about a year ago, I was deeply immersed in writing a fiction book. I was really having fun figuring out the plot, the characters, and the challenges they faced. That is, until one evening, several months into this project. I was awakened in the middle of the night by a strong voice that said quite loudly, “**I come first**.” Now that wasn’t my husband talking. He was sound asleep. I lay there, unsure what to do or what it was all about. And then the voice said very firmly, “**Pivotal Moments**.” I gasped. Intuitively, I knew it was an assignment from above. I was being given a project—one that I was uniquely qualified for. Over the years, I’ve experienced many pivotal moments and learned a great deal along the way. So, I accepted that assignment. And, in 2025, I dedicated myself to writing and publishing my newest book, “*Pivotal Moments: The Springboard to New Possibilities*.” I’m pretty sure you’ll find it helpful as you navigate your career and life. Why? Because how you respond to all those pivotal moments makes all the difference in the world.
