A Book "Preview"
A dear friend of mine is writing a book. Last week it went to the editor for final editing, and will be ready for print in the blink of an eye. I am honored to say that I was one of the lucky ones, who had an opportunity to read her original manuscript.....and quite honestly I cannot wait to get my hands of the finished version(s)!!
Her book struck such a cord with me I had to read it in chunks. A message so powerful, so cleansing, I needed the time to absorb the myriad of emotions it evoked. It forced me to look at myself through the eyes of truth...Forced me to take ownership of my own problems, I found a fabulous sense of freedom.....
This book can and should be read by everyone, but for people like me it's "a must read, never leave home without it, pocket book version, second copy on night stand, big decorative coffee table version for quick reference" kind of book.
The author writes with so much love, it seems to ooze through the pages, as gently she invites us to examine the very core of our being; providing us with guidance every step of the way, as we seek to find the happiness that is our birth right.
While this book "preview" is for everyone, I am especially focusing on those who are hurting, We CAN do this.....and it's not about fantasy worlds or magic ....it's about learning to live and love ourselves again.
I absolutely love this book, but more than that, I love this author. She, has the power within her fingertips to make a difference to people like me, who sometimes still get lost in the shadows of heartache or loneliness .
