The truth hurts.

It Is so easy to blame people, times, situations; to stay in “brokenness”. You can milk grief FOREVER…. The problem, that is all you wake up to, experience things with, and go to bed with each night… it’s lonely. It will NEVER leave. This book, It’s the first step towards the transformation of me, in my healing (and Im 50, so thats A LOT of healing to do!). I read this book all in one sitting. Its not written as a “story”, it’s written by several people, writing about their own stories, their own struggles, and their own pain; sharing it all, calling each of us out. We know when something isn’t good for us; we waste energy that could be put to much more productive areas of our lives.
Having read this cover to cover, in one sitting, (because I couldn’t just ” sit “ with a thought), I will now break it down in much smaller pieces, and actually digest each lesson. I saw myself on every page… in every story, and I don’t want to stay there! I’m seeing a lot of sticky notes, and positive affirmations in my future!
Thank you for your honesty and transparency, you have TRULY just changed my life, my perspective, and told me that I’m not “damaged”, or “cursed”, that i don’t have to stay “stuck” in being “that girl” in a relationship, almost begging someone to love me the way I love them, or “that daughter” that everyone tiptoes around sine the loss of my parents, still finding myself trying to overcome an inability to find myself, my future, without them, that I feel that I am “betraying” them in a way, even though I know this isn’t what they’d want for me; “that mother” in my inability to stay out of my grown children’s relationships, trying desperately to protect them FROM these exact stories of pain and disappointments, and seeing that what I am REALLY doing, is preventing their growth, and I NEVER would have seen it that way.
Take the time… this book is for EVERY human experience ….
I’m actually excited for my journey of self-love, in bite size pieces... there are going to be a LOT of tears, but I’m hoping the woman I find on the other side, is happy, healthy, and grateful.
I couldn’t have found this book at a more appropriate time in my life.
