From The Shadows: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Renewal

Offering hope and healing, the author retraces her beautiful transformation from suicidal despair to habitual happiness, sprinkling each step with soul-stirring original poetry and journal excerpts.

For decades, she hid her chronic depression from everyone, including herself, until hitting a crisis point. She seemed successful and happy to all, except her closest confidantes; they knew the anguish she wished to end by killing herself. Through self-exploration, she found a pathway to conquer the pain.

In From the Shadows, she shares the questions she confronted, unearths her root causes, and presents a map out of the mire. Finally, she unlocks inner wealth by facing phantoms holding long forgotten keys to her past.

Joining in her journey, you may uncover a few treasures of your own.

Whirlpool of pain, despair I share.
For your own gain, I bring you there.

Sucked me down, but will lift you up--
The gifts uncovered, when unstuck.

Maelstrom drew me time and again;
Me, myself, and I weren't as friend.

A shadow plagued my destiny,
Before sunlit divinity.

Hear my story, treasure I found.
As it unfolds, soul almost drowned.

Reveal my grief, the guilt and shame,
unwinding as I blend my name.

Listen as I share of rebirth--
meaning and passion's soulful mirth.

Lure you in then lighten your load;
A wealth inside worth more than gold.

Precious self-love and purpose too.
Join in this journey to renew.
