My name is Thomas Winterman, and my life has been transformed in every way. I used to be fat (275 lbs.), alone, unhealthy, uneducated (kicked out of community college), lacking passion, lazy, and working a manual labor job I hated. Today I am lean (185 lbs.), in the best shape of my life, married to a beautiful woman, a therapist (a job I love), and I hold a masters degree in counseling psychology. How did I do it? This is the story I want to share with the world in my book, The Thrive Life.
The Thrive Life is my passion; it is my life's work thus far. This is the book I have written not only about my journey, but it is also a manual describing how others can transform their own lives. It is a blend of personal experience, therapeutic expertise, and psychological theory rolled into one. I believe my book can help people. This is why I have created this funding project - I need your help!
I need to raise $3,200 in order to make my dream a reality. I have already written the manuscript and have spent the last several months pitching my work to various publishers. I have decided to self-publish my work after months of research and evaluation of my options. The $3,200 will pay for professional copy editing, content editing, internal book design, a professionally designed book cover, and marketing. My wife is a teacher and I work as a therapist for underprivileged children at a non-profit agency. We just don't have the money to invest in my book right now.
The Thrive Life is a culmination of my experiences, my work, and my contribution to the world. I believe that my book can help people, but I cannot get it to the masses without your help. Please consider giving to my campaign. Whether you give one dollar or one thousand dollars, every contribution makes a difference. If you cannot contribute any money I completely understand; giving money is not the only way to help though. Please help spread the word about my campaign and my dream! Share my campaign on Facebook, Twitter, and any other way you can think of. With your help my dream can become a reality. I believe in my work - and I am asking you to believe in me. Thank you!
