Not only is this a perfect start to my morning —
it feels like the perfect beginning to the final month of the year.
December 1st, 2025.

This morning, I checked my publishing dashboard, expecting nothing more than a minor update. Instead, I found something that stopped me in my tracks:

My book now has its ISBNs —
Paperback, Hardcover, and Ebook.

My title, my author bio, my book description, and even the Heart & Healing Series designation were all officially listed. In that moment, everything became real.
My manuscript is no longer just a file on my computer—it is now part of the publishing system, preparing to enter the world.

What made this moment even more meaningful was seeing that Tellwell accepted the layout I submitted and the cover design Merlin and I created together. No revisions. No changes. Just a simple, “Approved.”
For a first-time author, that kind of validation is rare—and I am deeply grateful.

Spring 2026 still feels far away, yet suddenly I can imagine holding the printed book in my hands. I can imagine someone reading these stories and feeling comforted, understood, or a little less alone.

This book came from real experiences—from hospice bedsides, whispered prayers, gentle goodbyes, and the sacred work of walking souls home.
To see it taking shape like this… it fills me with pride, gratitude, and a quiet sense of awe.

Thank you for walking this journey with me.
More updates to come—but today, I’m simply letting this beautiful milestone sink in.

With love,
Gabriele
