Official Book Trailer
It was an amazing event on September 10th Celebration Party for Release of “Beyond Messy Relationships.”
I’m thankful for our launch team of volunteers and helpers.
Katelyn & Robinson, the brave couple (I’ve never counseled before) who helped show the dialogue technique I use in counseling often as I work with clients in my office.
Professional Dancers, Kyle Barels and Emilie Cole from Dance Tonight moved us all with their “relationship dances” I wrote about in the book.
My wise friend, Stefanie Crowe (Stone Bridge Asset Management, LLC) hosted our event as the Emcee who connected us with her dialogue questions and comments!
One of my business mentors, Linda Murray Bullard, MBA, PMP energized the crowd and connected our on-site and global live-steaming audience.
More photos and video clips to come thanks to Morgan Smith with
Creative Moon Productions.
Over 80 people pre-registered and the first 50 at the event received their author-signed copy of Beyond Messy Relationships: Divine Invitations To Your Authentic Self, Thanks to my dance friends, Linda Hong and Patricia McKenzie who helped give away the books! Thanks to my colleagues & supporters, Ginger Terrell and Melissa Mead for covering book sales. And a big thanks to fellow therapist, Sheaba Cherian, LPC-MHSP who helped people vote to as Beyond Messy Relationships is top 10 Finalist for Author Academy Awards.
And thanks to my church friends and Camphouse staff who provided exactly what we needed for this event: Rita Rubino and Daniel Nelson.
Of course I want to thank each of you who came out to the Camphouse and those who watched the live-stream.
Last, but not least, I thank my husband, Joe Herman who produced the amazing book trailer. I appreciate his creativity with timing of images, music, and my voice over.
This was truly The Beyond Messy Experience for us all.
In celebration of the book’s print release on September 10th, Judy and volunteers presented a local and global live stream event. This wasn’t just a book launch party. It’s was an experience honoring human dignity, value, and worthiness.
