Giving Voice to the Power of the Written Word
"One day you will tell your story about how you overcame that battle
you went through and God will send you the exact people
who need to hear that story." -- The Master Shift
The inspiration for writing this book on the one hand just kind of followed me throughout my life over time giving me subtle nudges in that direction.
The seeds got planted.
Many times.
Signs and messages.
I smiled, laughed at the idea, the notion so preposterous to my mind and ignored it.
Basically, boils down to me, not trusting my own inner knowing and looking outside myself for validation. Clues. Tell me what I need to do. I was future focused, feeling lost, looking for purpose, direction and hoping for the answers. Most cases I went in with an expectation and the answer I sought was not even touched upon. I do, however, feel when looking back I did receive exactly what I needed to hear at those moments in time.
On the other hand, the process of writing this book is cathartic both for myself and I imagine hopefully for the reader as I revisit chapters of my life. Where I was living more on "auto pilot", unconscious, which gifts me hindsight and how far I had actually come to this point in the moment of now. Painting a picture using the power of words sharing my awakening journey through storytelling as puzzle pieces and realizations "come together".
"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle."
