My best day ever happens regularly at times when my values, projects, and strengths align. It’s about feeling valued and of value in ways that light me up inside. When you operate from a place of alignment and abundance, it’s easy to see the beauty and simplicity in life. If you shine a light everywhere you go, you tend to bring the best day ever with you.

I’ve had a lot of inspiration to bring this concept to the pages of a book. It started with comments like “you’re always smiling” and “I wish I could bottle your energy”. Later, when I started teaching at the post-secondary level, I’d find myself responding off-the-cuff to questions from students around career and life advice with rich stories from my own experiences. I jotted down these pivotal moments and they translated well in other non-academic trainings/webinars, retreats, and keynotes. So I started an inventory of stories and lessons and realized that there was a system that others could easily follow that was relevant across ages/stages. Voila! Shout out to my former students from #MKTG1204, #MKTG1301 & the rest :)

There is so much pressure to succeed in life. There’s an unfair amount of pressure to perform, especially for women. We burn out trying to reach societal ideals that don’t make us happy. We strive to please others and forget about ourselves along the way. Everyone is raised thinking we need external validation. We aren’t taught how to self-validate and we measure ourselves against impossible standards.

Regardless of what stage you are at this book is for you if you’re:

• An emerging leader at the start of your career looking to make the best choices and accelerate your journey;

• Mid-career and looking to find meaning and purpose in what you are doing;

• An entrepreneur, or budding entrepreneur, who wants to take stock and take control;

• At the top of your game and want to maintain the momentum;

• On your victory lap and looking to refocus.

I’m glad you asked. Short answer: it’s short, sweet, and fun to read, while being insightful and relevant to experiences at many points in life. It’s about 100 pages, so it can be read in a sitting (or two or three if you are a slow reader like me!). I believe in living the lesson so each chapter has an easy-to-follow format with a life changing question, quotes and exercises and/or reflection questions.

It’s an easy book to start your year off, and review on the anniversary as a reconnect with yourself.  Each chapter builds on the last, but also stands alone.

I was introduced to my cover designer by our kids, and our friendship grew over playdates, little league soccer, and post-game ice cream. It turns out “Owen & Avery’s dad” is a famous illustrator who’s designs have graced the covers of celebrities like Steve Martin and NY Times Best Selling Authors. Now Darren Booth gets to add the Best Day Ever Book to his portfolio too :) Check out his amazing work and uncover another hidden gem of world-famous Niagara creativity!
