HAPPY ANNIVERSARY THE ROAD BACK TO ME

Today is the second anniversary of my book The Road Back To Me.

I would like to thank all of my blessed brothers and sisters out there--who like me--were not nurtured to believe in the Self as children.

Publishing The Road Back To Me was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make. As I state in the introduction of my book--it was the fear of hurting the people I loved that caused me to delay its publication.

For children who were lucky enough to come from stable--loving--enlightened homes--you (they) might know little about what it feels like to have been ripped apart from your own soul. If you were fortunate enough to be told you were 'good--kind--considerate--thoughtful and intelligent' when you were a child--get down on your knees and give thanks--because you have no idea the troubles we ACOA's and children from self absorbed and indifferent parents have had to endure.

When my family first heard I had published a book about my childhood experiences in relation to what happened in our dry alcoholic home--word got back to me that they (my family) was 'done' with me.

I remember collapsing into my then fiancé's arms--thinking "Oh no..." My worst fear had come true--and like a moth to a flame--all of my anxiety about fearing the 'what if's' flooded into my experience.

Since then--over and over and over--I have had readers of my website, and viewers of my videos' as well as my Life Coaching Clients tell me how deeply healing my book has been for them. And every time I hear such a testimony from a reader, viewer, or client--I immediately get goosebumps--because as so many of you know--I once seriously considered suicide.

The Road Back To Me--had to be published. As if I had been born pregnant with the story inside of my belly--this book is an experience I felt compelled to accomplish--in spite of all the bumps along the way.

Today I honor YOU--the emotionally confused ACOA--who has either begun to put the pieces back together--or who has embraced and claimed her/his right to total recovery.

Bless you--and all beings everywhere--for we are all One...

Namaste and thank you...
