From the Inside Flap

A Message to my Reader:
Statistically speaking, I'm not supposed to be here.
My early childhood was filled with so much abuse and trauma that the probability I would end up homeless, mentally ill, incarcerated, or dead was far more likely. However, instead of letting that experience define me, I let it transform me.

In the process, I found my voice.

I want to share the tools that worked for me with the hope that others may benefit also. Even if it's only a little nugget of inspiration that leads to a happier existence. Personally, I've found happiness comes from a shift in perspective, in owning all of my experiences and finding the strength and gifts in them. We will all experience trouble and hardship in life at different times and to various degrees. Regardless, I believe there is always an opportunity for growth and change. The opportunity to choose the life we want, to spread our wings and fly, and it all starts within.
