DON'T IGNORE MY SILENCE FOR THIS IS WHO I AM

Allow the silence that's within you to arise! Let it guide you through your life. Talk to the silence that's within you. We all have that strong feeling, connection with something inside of us that gives us the strength to carry on-to face every difficulty in our lives! We just don't talk about it as much. Some of us are afraid of what other people might think, or that they are the only ones who are struggling in life. Often shame and embarrassment come with it all-reasons to ignore the silence within. Set it free!

It's through faith, grace, and gratitude that I found the strength to get through tough times! Most importantly, I was able to rise above it all! From an early age, I learned not to rely on others so much, but rather to rely on the silence within-that silenced voice, strong feeling, or, as some call it, intuition. I call it God! There is always something inside of me that is so much bigger and stronger than life itself, that has never left me! It has pulled me through some tough times, but it is also there when good things are happening!

My hope for you is that by reading some of my life experiences, it will give you strength and encouragement to push yourself through any difficulties in your life, your way! And I hope that this book allows it to be that bridge for you that will help take you to the other, much brighter side of life!

With love and gratitude,
