Exciting Updates and an Invitation to Join My Journey!

Dear Friends,

What an incredible journey this has been, and it’s only just beginning! I’m thrilled to share that the revised edition of From the Piney Woods will officially launch on December 12th. The link to purchase will be available soon, and I can’t wait for you to experience the heart and hope woven into its pages.

Before I go further, I want to share an important update: the original version of From the Piney Woods—the one I self-published before hiring a professional editor who truly believed in my book—is being removed. However, it may still show up in searches for a while. To ensure you receive the professionally revised edition, please wait for the official link to order in the next newsletter. I promise it will be worth it!

Your support means the world to me, and I have a special request: Amazon requires at least 75 positive reviews for books to be considered for their best-sellers list. If you’ve read my book or plan to, taking just a moment to leave a review would mean everything. Think of it as the perfect gift, not just for me, but for anyone searching for a story that inspires resilience and healing.

As I prepare for this exciting new chapter, I’m also diving headfirst into public speaking to launch a new facet of my work in the new year. My talks will center on the message of my book: "Your Past Does Not Define You, It Prepares You" and “Journaling as a Path to Healing.”  If you know of any organizations, schools, or groups looking for a motivational speaker, please let me know!

This journey is an emotional rollercoaster. There are days I feel unstoppable, and others when I have to remind myself that I am worthy of this calling. Trauma has a way of silencing voices and limiting potential, but my mission is to show others that healing is possible and that hope is always within reach.

I’ve been reading The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, and it’s been such an eye-opener! It’s amazing how often we sabotage our own “genius” with what Hendricks calls “upper limit symptoms.” This realization has fueled my determination even more, because I know my book and my message can inspire that same clarity and courage in others.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your support keeps me grounded and inspired. Let’s continue to spread hope, healing, and the belief that our past is not a prison, it’s the preparation for something greater.

Be sure to share this newsletter!

With gratitude,
PJ Hamilton
