The who, what, when and why of my book

For years prior to writing this book, my hubs David, clients and friends urged me to share the who, what, when and why of where I was and where I am today.

Oddly it was a quote that framed things in a way that made sense to share my healing and spiritual path from the "there to my healthy, happy here. The essence of the quote was, "those who have walked through the fires and became a Phoenix have a moral responsibility to give the lessons back to give other their transformational wings."

The girl in the shadows on the book jacket was me back "there.| " I wrote this book as a testimony of hope and chronicale how my scars were turned into Lodestars that guide my and others I share our Change Making ideas with today. My book is an offering and affirmation that it is not what happens to us that defines who and what we become. Instead, it is how we respond and choose to do about it.

Bright blessings on your own journey,

Why woman shed the tears they do

Mothers, grandmothers, sisters and all women are our connection to life…connection to life- a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world. When I think back over the path I shared with my mother, Nanny and other significant woman in my life I understood more about their tears now than I did when I was younger.

Sometimes being a woman means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over."~Gloria Naylo The greatest gift you can give to someone special is your TIME; It's like you're giving them a portion of your life that you can never bring back ♥
