🌱 The Book’s Almost Fully Grown!

🌱 The Book’s Almost Fully Grown!

Thank you mum — err — I meant thank you everyone (especially you) — who’s been asking when THE SOUL ACTS will be ready. 🙏
The answer is: very soon.

It’s fully written. I've pruned it to below 500 pages!

I’m in the final polishing stages—reviewing every word before formatting (which can be fiddly, especially to make sure it works beautifully on every device and book size).

I’ve decided to first publish it independently via Amazon.
That means full creative control—which feels essential for this type of book.

I deeply respect publishing houses, agents, and editors. But this message is unique. It can’t be reshaped yet. It needs to come into the world exactly as it is—raw, unfiltered, whole. Yep — things could get interesting!

If the right PR or literary agent comes along after launch and truly understands what I’ve made, I’ll stay open. But for now—this is my life’s work. It’s how I live. And how I’ll always live.

So the message can’t be diluted with someone else’s opinion. (Heck—I might be wrong. Maybe one day there will be a reason to go traditional. But not yet.)

Going it alone means I’m doing everything myself.
Control freak? 😈

Nope. 🤣
I just love the process.

I love sculpting creations with no interruptions.
Imagine finishing a sculpture—only for someone to run in and knock off a few edges. If you've had kids you'll know how that feels!
Or imagine painting something bold in red... and someone brushes grey over it.

I love being fully responsible for the final unveil.

But it’s been hard work. I’m not exaggerating when I say this book has literally injured me—physically. From over-typing and lack of sleep.
Some days, I can’t even type at all.
I’ve never experienced that before.

Still—every pain has been worth it.
Every ache is part of the gain.
And I hope it becomes part of your gain when you read it.

Right now I’m printing physical proofs—paperback, hardback, and digital—to make sure it feels exactly as planned.
From experience, this part can still take months 🫣
But it’s essential.

Only then will I give you a release date. And when I do—we’ll party like it's 2029 LOL 🥳
(Just note: that date depends on how smoothly everything goes.)

Let me also be honest with you—💚
This book is a big deal to me. Dad and bad jokes aside.

It’s my life... and your life... on the page.

I know in today’s world—even something created with love can get hate.
So before the critics speak, I’m savoring this quiet moment—
The calm before the storm.

Have you felt that before releasing your own work?

Worst-case? It’ll be out before Christmas. 🎁 ⛄ 🎄
(Yes, that C-word already!)

I’ll keep you posted. But until then:
Keep 🌱 growing.

Thank you again for all your interest.

This book will change your life—
because it’s not about giving you answers,
but reminding you of the ones already inside you.

And if you start practicing your own soul acts,
your life will grow in ways that surprise even you.

Oh—and my blog’s not officially launched yet either. Yep, I built that alone too!
But it’s already in shape for subscribing.
Feel free to explore the self-help + creative seeds I’ve sewn over the last year.

Take care of yourself today.
Life is lining up little surprises for you—soul happiness in unexpected places.
Maybe this is one of them.
Maybe just noticing your breath right now is the reminder you needed...
to stay awake to all the others.

💚 With love,
CJB
(ironically all 'this' is never about me)
