It’s been raining almost non-stop in the Algarve where I live. Moody days are followed by chilly nights with the occasional thunderstorm and torrential rains. This is very unusual for the Algarve, known for its sunshine and mild winters.

The upside of this is that I choose to stay home. It allows me to work on my next book without the distractions that the ocean and cliffs create; my wanderings have been limited!

I wanted to share my next book which I self-published. It is now available here in Kindle and soon in paperback.

This book is geared for those who value personal development. Through its essays, I share new insights, shifts in perspective and very practical ways to manage challenges in your life and reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary occurrences of life. In these pages I share many of the techniques I teach to my coaching clients that help them transform from stressed to success (based on how they define success).

Here’s a blurb on what is to come:

In a world that celebrates grand achievements and dramatic transformations, the most profound insights often emerge quietly from our everyday experiences. Through thoughtful reflection and genuine presence, Everyday Epiphanies: Uncovering Wisdom in Ordinary Moments reveals how the ordinary moments we might overlook—a conversation that lingers in memory, the pause between reaction and response, the questions we've been avoiding—contain the wisdom we're seeking.

In this updated edition of her book, Everyday Epiphanies: Insights for Living with Purpose (2007), the author draws from years of coaching experience and personal exploration. Rodriguez offers a refreshing perspective on mindful living that avoids spiritual platitudes while honoring life's deeper dimensions. She invites readers to discover meaning not through acquiring more but through attending differently to what already fills their days.

These essays explore how we navigate transitions with authenticity, establish boundaries that deepen rather than diminish connection, and create meaning through intentional presence rather than endless seeking. With language that's both accessible and nuanced, the author provides practical approaches to recalibration in our acceleration-focused culture.

Everyday Epiphanies, Uncovering Wisdom in Ordinary Moments, speaks to anyone who senses possibilities beyond productivity metrics and achievement milestones—readers who are seeking not another self-improvement formula but a more authentic relationship with their own experience. It's an invitation to discover that the wisdom we've been searching for elsewhere has been waiting patiently in the ordinary moments of our extraordinary lives.

Stay tuned for updates and information on when the book will be ready for purchase.

Once again, thank you so much for your support.

P.S. Watch for my announcement about the audio book for my memoir, The Shaman’s Wife. I narrate the book. For those who prefer audio, you'll have a chance to listen to my story!
