The sole intention of this introduction is for you to read this book. Nothing more, nothing less. Let’s be honest, who wants to drudge through the hard stuff? But, here is the thing, there is no way around it other than denial. And, that likely won’t end well. I tried it. Now I am the author of a self-help book, so go figure. It wasn’t romance that swept me off my feet. It was heartaches and unpleasant experiences that caused me to lose my footing. It was clear that I couldn’t escape the parts of my story that I didn’t like. I had to heal from them. Life isn’t smooth sailing, nor is that a realistic expectation. But, the waters became less choppy when I acknowledged my father’s neglect, admitted I was estranged from my own life, and stopped using a fork to do my heavy lifting. And, I released the pain of not being a biological mother. It was as if I had taken the breath necessary for my heart to beat again. Your turn. I want you to read this book and be engaged. Why? I’ve poured my soul and energy into it. But more so because healing, health, and happiness are on everyone’s wishlist. This book is your action plan to make the life you dream about be the one that you live!
