“Joy – Recipes for Abundance” book is a project led by Sabine Mataru (Reach for Greatness Ltd) – who is on a mission to publish a series of 4 books, each containing 25 stories written by inspiring women. This is a second book in the series and I was absolutely delighted when I was selected to take part of this project. This project is an incredible virtual collaboration of women across 16 different countries, all with very different backgrounds and stories but the same vision for a happy and peaceful world.
I am very passionate about making this world a happier place through the power of positive images and gratitude, so it was an amazing opportunity for me to share my story and hopefully help those who are facing difficulties in their lives at present moment.
What is this book about?
In this fruitful collection of stories, 25 inspiring, entrepreneurial women share their recipes for joy and abundance through tales of overcoming, determination and gratitude. From nutrition, travel and community to spiritual practise, compassion and self-realisation, they each reveal their unique recipes towards creating a joyful and abundant life, available to each of us.

My Story
Here is a brief synopsis of my story in the book:
“It can sometimes take one small realisation to pull us back from the brink. For Asya Barskaya-Lebed, that was a camera and her two-year-old son. Determined to capture the joyful moments of her son growing up, she began taking photographs and unknowingly stumbled across a passion which turned her despair into determination. Wanting to give her son the best possible life she could give, her story sees her finding her joy behind the lense and a life transformed.”
