Synopsis

Thank you my readers for your willingness to be inspired. We never know where our answers might lie. Our most important insights may come from a sentence in a book. I hope this is true for you.

Creating this book is the answer to a dream for me. I have wanted to be a writer since I was thirteen, but in those early days I had nothing to say. After I wrote THE COURAGE TO GRIEVE and then YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER, I thought I was done writing books.

Still I never stopped wanting to inspire others with ideas about living well. It has always disturbed me that there is no training to be a human being, no lessons in coping with trauma, illness, loss and tragedy. Ours is a world filled with people learning in hit or miss ways how to confront the inevitable troubles and sorrows in life or how to have satisfying lives and successful relationships.

Unfortunately there is also no training for the biggest jobs most of us take on - like being a parent or a spouse. It's startling that we have so little assistance or support for dealing with the things that matter most to us in life. Seeing that we really don't have any "curriculum" other than our own trial and error ways for coping with our emotional lives led me to write all of my books and now these articles.

Beginning my newsletter project, I thought or hoped to write maybe fifteen articles at most. Instead I have found an endless stream of inspiration, the sharing of which has been one of the greatest joys in my life. This book came as a surprise to me. My hope is that it is valuable for you. I am living Goethe's words: "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." May those words encourage you too in whatever are your endeavors.

About this title

About the Author:

Outside of writing and dogs, I love books. I read about 7 to 10 books a month, hardcover, paperback and on my kindle. In addition I am always listening to books on CD or tape in my car, and in California one drives a lot. I particularly like reading good novels, mysteries, and memoirs. I am a practicing psychotherapist, part time, mostly focusing on grief issues. Writing enlivens me. I always write to inspire my audience. In addition to my books THE COURAGE TO GRIEVE and YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER, I have written a short fable about afterlife THE JOURNEY FROM THE LAND OF FOREVER FLOWERS. If you want monthly inspiration from me, I write a free monthly newsletter which you can order frommy website: www.judytatelbaum.com or email: jtmiracle@comcast.net. One of my secrets about writing is that I never face a blank page. If I'm in the middle of a writing project, I leave myself notes when I finish the day, so I have a place to begin the next day. If I have nothing in mind to write, I rewrite something from the past -- I have masses of writing to choose from. This always opens me to new ideas and new places to go. I began my newsletter as a lark, and have continued writing an article a month for several years now. Getting books published is more difficult today. Writing articles for me is an easier way to be sure I am read, and to connect individually with my audience.
