Absolutely. I’d frame this as an exciting publishing announcement, not simply an update to the old media post. The big story is that the January 2027 date has moved to January 2028, and what began as one memoir has grown into a three-volume series with a several interesting possible publishers behind it. I’d also keep the surprise element playful rather than revealing too much.

The Many Lives She Has Lived Is Growing—And Apparently, So Is the Dream

A new publication date. A three-volume series. A potential publisher. More music. More writing. More surprises. And somehow, this journey keeps becoming bigger than I imagined.

There are moments in life when you start something with one idea in mind—and then the journey looks at you, smiles, and says:

“Oh, you thought that was the whole plan?”

Apparently not.

When I first began writing The Many Lives She Has Lived, I thought I was writing a book.

One book.

A story.

A way of gathering together the many seasons, identities, lessons, losses, transformations, dreams, questions, struggles, and moments of awakening that have shaped my life.

I knew the story was layered. I knew there were chapters within chapters. I knew that some experiences had taken years to understand and that others were still unfolding.

What I did not necessarily expect was for the project itself to evolve.

And evolve.

And then evolve again.

Well…

It has.

And I have some wonderful news to share.

The Book Is Becoming a Series

The Many Lives She Has Lived was originally envisioned as a single book.

It is now becoming something much bigger:

Three Volumes.

Yes.

Three.

Apparently, there was more story here than even I realized.

The publisher believes that this work has the potential to become a successful series, and I have to admit—there is something wonderfully surreal about seeing an idea that once lived mostly inside my own head begin to take on a life of its own.

When you spend so much time writing about your life, you can forget that eventually the words leave you.

They become pages.

Then chapters.

Then a manuscript.

Then, if you’re very fortunate, they become something that another person can hold in their hands and recognize a piece of their own life within.

That is what I hope these books will become.

Not simply a record of where I have been.

But an invitation to look at where we have been.

Where we are going.

And perhaps most importantly, who we are becoming along the way.

And Yes… The Publication Date Has Changed

There has also been an important change to the publishing timeline.

The publication date that was previously announced for January 2027 has now moved to:

January 2028

And honestly?

I am okay with that.

More than okay.

There is something beautiful about allowing a story to become what it needs to become rather than forcing it to fit an arbitrary finish line.

A book—especially a deeply personal one—is not simply a product assembled on a schedule.

Sometimes the story needs more room.

Sometimes the author needs more room.

Sometimes the publishing process needs more room.

And sometimes, apparently, what you thought was one book needs room to become three.

So January 2028 it is.

And I am excited.

Very excited.

Maybe slightly overwhelmed.

Definitely grateful.

And, because I am still me…

I am dreaming big.

From One Book to Three Volumes

There is something almost poetic about the idea that The Many Lives She Has Lived is becoming a three-part series.

Because the title itself has always been about multiplicity.

The many versions of ourselves.

The many seasons.

The identities we inherit.

The identities we create.

The people we become.

The people we leave behind.

The lessons we carry.

The lessons we finally release.

Life rarely happens in one neat, uninterrupted narrative.

It comes in seasons.

There are beginnings that don’t feel like beginnings.

Endings that turn out to be doorways.

Detours that become essential parts of the journey.

Losses that reshape us.

Victories that quietly change us.

Dreams that refuse to die.

And versions of ourselves that we thought were gone forever—only to discover that they were waiting for us somewhere further down the road.

That is part of what The Many Lives She Has Lived explores.

It is a memoir about becoming.

And becoming again.

And again.

And again.

A Story About More Than Survival

At its heart, The Many Lives She Has Lived explores transformation, resilience, identity, personal authority, faith, responsibility, and the complicated process of learning how to live intentionally.

It moves through the layered seasons of my life—from ancestral memory and spiritual inheritance to discipline, service, motherhood, love, heartbreak, adversity, awakening, and the search for meaning.

It is about the woman I was.

The woman I became.

The women I might have been.

And the woman I am still becoming.

The story doesn’t pretend that growth is always beautiful.

Sometimes growth is messy.

Sometimes it is inconvenient.

Sometimes it hurts.

Sometimes awakening doesn’t feel like enlightenment at all.

Sometimes it feels like realizing that something you believed for years no longer fits.

Sometimes personal authority means learning to trust your conscience.

Sometimes it means admitting you were wrong.

Sometimes it means setting boundaries.

Sometimes it means beginning again.

And sometimes it simply means getting up the next morning and deciding that your story isn’t over.

This Journey Started Much Earlier Than the Book

Long before there was a publishing announcement, there was a website.

And before the website became what it is today, it began as something much more personal.

A place to think.

A place to process.

A place to write.

A place to explore dreams, lived experience, spiritual questions, personal growth, healing, sovereignty, responsibility, and the strange and fascinating process of being human.

Over time, that private process of reflection became something public.

Writing became a way of understanding.

Sharing became a way of connecting.

And eventually, the written word began reaching beyond the pages of a blog.

That journey is part of why I am so grateful for everyone who has followed along.

If you have been reading the blog, watching the videos, listening to the music, sharing posts, commenting, encouraging me, or simply quietly checking in from time to time:

Thank you.

Seriously.

Thank you.

You have been part of this.

From the Written Word to Video

The story has also continued to expand through video.

I have been sharing reflections, conversations, teachings, creative projects, and explorations through my YouTube presence, including the growing world surrounding The Many Lives She Has Lived.

You can visit The Many Lives She Has Lived by Rheena Velia and explore the story, themes, and creative direction behind the book.

You can also visit the The Many Lives She Has Lived YouTube channel, where this larger creative journey continues to unfold.

The beautiful thing about these platforms is that the story doesn’t have to exist in only one form.

Some ideas belong on a page.

Some belong in conversation.

Some belong in music.

Some arrive as a video.

Some are better left mysterious for a little while.

And speaking of mysterious…

Wait… Did I Mention There Are More Surprises?

Oh yes.

There are.

And I am going to be very careful here because there is a reason we call some things surprises.

Let’s just say that the road to January 2028 is not going to be quiet.

There are more blog posts coming.

More reflections.

More creative work.

More music.

And a few things that I am absolutely not ready to reveal yet.

Because where would the fun be in that?

If you have followed this journey for a while, you already know that I occasionally have a tendency to say:

“I have an idea.”

And then that idea becomes a project.

And then the project becomes another project.

And suddenly I’m standing there looking at the whole thing thinking:

“Well… this got bigger.”

That appears to be happening again.

And I couldn’t be happier about it.

Yes… There Is Music Too

One of the most unexpected developments in this journey has been music.

At some point, the idea emerged that The Many Lives She Has Lived shouldn’t exist only as a written story.

What if the emotional world surrounding the story could have a sound?

What if certain moments, themes, memories, and feelings could be translated into music?

And then came the inevitable question:

Wait… did I just make a soundtrack?

Well…

Apparently I did.

You can read 🎶 Wait… Did I Just Make a Soundtrack? and follow along with how that unexpected creative experiment began.

And then came the announcement that made the whole thing even more real:

🎶✨ It’s Official — We’re Creating a Soundtrack

Because apparently writing three books wasn’t enough.

Apparently we needed a soundtrack too.

Why not?

Life is short.

Dream big.

Make the art.

Tell the story.

See where it goes.

The Many Lives She Has Lived

The title has never been accidental.

There have been many lives.

Many identities.

Many chapters.

Many versions of me.

There was the woman learning.

The woman surviving.

The woman serving.

The woman loving.

The woman becoming a mother.

The woman questioning.

The woman grieving.

The woman dreaming.

The woman rebuilding.

The woman searching for answers.

The woman discovering that some answers cannot be handed to you by anyone else.

And then there is the woman sitting here now, looking at a project that began as one book and realizing that it has somehow become three volumes, a growing creative platform, a developing musical project, a body of written work, and a journey shared with readers and viewers around the world.

Sometimes I think the title isn’t just about the past.

Maybe it is also about the future.

Because none of us really knows how many lives we still have left to live.

The Publishers Changed the Conversation

Having several potential publishers involved has also changed the way I look at this project.

There is something very different about saying:

“I’m writing a book.”

and saying:

“I could work with a publisher on a three-volume series.”

Those words still feel a little surreal.

I started this journey because I had a story I needed to tell.

Now I am being given the opportunity to develop that story on a much larger scale.

And I don’t take that lightly.

There is responsibility in being entrusted with a story.

Especially when the story is your own.

You have to decide what to reveal.

What to explain.

What to leave for the reader to discover.

What belongs on the page.

What belongs between the lines.

And how to transform personal experience into something that can become meaningful to someone who has never lived your particular life.

That is the challenge.

And that is also the gift.

To Everyone Who Has Been Here Along the Way…

This is where I want to pause for a moment.

Because no creative journey happens completely alone.

Even when the writing happens in solitude, the journey itself doesn’t.

There are people who encourage you.

People who read your work.

People who share it.

People who send a message at exactly the right moment.

People who believe in an idea before you completely believe in it yourself.

People who say, “Keep going.”

People who remind you that your voice matters.

And people who simply show up.

So to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey:

Thank you.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for encouraging me.

Thank you for being curious.

Thank you for allowing me to share pieces of this journey with you.

And thank you for continuing to come along for the ride.

I truly could not have imagined where this would lead when I first started writing.

January 2028 Is the New Destination

So here we are.

The publication date is now:

January 2028.

The project is no longer one book.

It is now:

Three Volumes.

There is a publisher.

There is a growing creative world surrounding the books.

There is music.

There are videos.

There are more blog posts coming.

There are more ideas developing.

And yes…

There are surprises.

Some of them I can tell you about.

Some of them I can’t.

Yet.

And honestly, that is part of the fun.

The Story Is Still Being Written

One of the greatest lessons this entire experience has taught me is that we should be careful about deciding that we already know what our story is going to become.

We don’t.

Not really.

We know where we have been.

We can make choices about where we want to go.

But life has a way of introducing chapters we never planned.

Sometimes those chapters frighten us.

Sometimes they break us open.

Sometimes they lead us somewhere we never would have found on our own.

And sometimes they turn one book into three.

So I am going to embrace this next chapter.

I am going to keep writing.

Keep creating.

Keep questioning.

Keep dreaming.

Keep learning.

Keep listening to that inner voice that says:

“There is more.”

Because apparently…

there is.

What Comes Next?

Between now and January 2028, I plan to keep sharing pieces of the journey here.

Expect more writing.

More reflections.

More music.

More conversations.

More behind-the-scenes moments.

More exploration of the themes that live inside The Many Lives She Has Lived.

And perhaps a few things that you won’t see coming.

After all…

it’s called a surprise for a reason.

For now, I simply want to say this:

The story isn’t finished.

The book isn’t finished.

The series isn’t finished.

The music isn’t finished.

And apparently, neither is the dream.

Maybe that is the real meaning behind The Many Lives She Has Lived.

We don’t become one person and stay there forever.

We grow.

We change.

We lose things.

We find things.

We discover new strengths.

We question old beliefs.

We step into new seasons.

And sometimes we discover that the life we thought we were writing is only the first volume.

So here’s to the next chapter.

And the one after that.

And the one after that.

Three volumes.

January 2028.

A soundtrack.

More stories.

More surprises.

And one very grateful dreamer who is still amazed by where this journey is taking her.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for believing.

And thank you for coming along for the ride.

The many lives I’ve lived brought me here.

The many lives still ahead are waiting to be written.

— Rheena Velia
