One year, best-selling author and publishing coach, Joylynn M. Ross, decided to take the first 25 days of December to share personal things about herself with her private online group - things members wouldn't find in her bio or resumé. Because her posts touched and altered so many lives, she's decided to share them publicly. The enclosed intimate and personal details about Joylynn are not only her gift to you, but hopefully inspiration for you to do the same with your tribe, circle, community, and loved ones.

Like the author, you might spend an unmeasurable amount of time each year tweaking and updating your personal pitches, business pitches, personal narrative, bio, pitch decks, business brand story, artist statement, elevator pitch, unique proposition statement, resume', vison script, business plan and the likes. But do you know what's probably missing from them all? YOU! The real, unscripted, vulnerable you.

Not only will this mini memoir fill your heart, body, mind and soul with love, joy and gratitude, but it's a reminder that the best gift you can ever give someone is you. And not just at Christmas, but all year round.
