What makes me qualified to write this book?

Simple. I have been in your shoes. I have experienced a great deal of trauma, many of the circumstances that you have previously dealt with, or those you are dealing with now. I have come through the dust. I have persevered. I am still standing here to tell my story and to tell how I healed from it.

I won’t bore you with all of the circumstances of my life. Suffice to say that I have been through nearly everything my readers have emailed me about, in one way or another. Or, I have been very close to it. From very early on, I involved myself in the lives of others because I am a natural empath and a healer. I’ve seen it all, from rape to murder to suicide to evil to breakups to divorce to disabilities to mental disorders to addiction to imprisonment to poverty...the list goes on.

I welcome you to send me your story, because I am a good listener. I think that telling your story takes a load off your mind. It helps you to clear your brain. It helps you to validate what you have gone through and to feel accepted despite what you have gone through. It helps you remember that you are human. It helps remind you that you have suffered through a lot.

You can sit and go through those circumstances over and over again like a broken record. You can sit in a counselor’s office for years on end, spewing your story over and over again. Suffering from it all the while that you are talking about it. Maybe it will desensitize you to the things that trigger you and the pain that is caused by the triggers, if you are lucky.

Or, you can move on and find the purpose and the reason that you are here. The reason that you went through those trials and tribulations is because you were meant to learn and to come out on the other side stronger.
