This book was written from my experience and the experiences of others that have grown through the trials and pain that come with living life. I have witnessed the power of \forgiveness and love in unforgivable, unlovable situations. The power and strength of surrender and the ability to let go is available to us all. The only way to allow yourself to experience serenity on a level beyond a wildest dream is to honor yourself in the highest form. When we can let go of a need for approval and acceptance from others, a weight is lifted; we can begin to see our beautiful purpose in this life. We begin to see the beauty that WE are. The purpose behind and within the words of this book is to bring light to darkness, to encourage others to learn that they, too, can be and have light themselves. The journey and process of accepting yourself with unconditional love will fill you with an abundance of love and set you on a path of self-discovery. It will bring clarity to the vision you have of all you see. This book shares experiences of taking ownership of our own thoughts and behavior without regret or guilt over what is in the past. When we can see ourselves without shame, or judgment, and honor every piece, we also become able to do the same for others. When we live in our truth with acceptance, it has the power to encourage those around us to do the same. What we feed will grow. If our thoughts are fed with love, then love will grow. Your journey starts where you begin, and it’s never too late to start. Believe in yourself; believe in what you cannot see.
