<p>Sometimes life takes its time bringing something of value into plain sight. It took me twenty-nine years to bring this book to a place where I can present it to you with both pride and satisfaction. I am hoping the story I&rsquo;ve shared is one you will find as valuable in your life as it was in mine. The only problem is that my story took its time in me so I could make the necessary changes needed in order for me to find a balance of meaning and peace.&nbsp;</p><p>This book is a mystery in the way it presents my life to you. I&rsquo;ve been able to use a sense of seriousness mixed with a bizarre sense of comedy. Nothing in this book is what you might expect. About the time you begin to feel sorrowful I hit you with a note that tells you there is no sorrow in me about what happened only a sense of victory that I&rsquo;ve been able to make sense of a life that is still unknown to my conscious mind.&nbsp;</p><p>I&rsquo;ve taken a shovel and dug deeply into my past then explained how I handled myself both as a child and as the woman I have become. I&rsquo;ve worked to expose the workings of how hard the mind works in order to survive in the healthiest way possible. I&rsquo;ve used every tool at my disposal to retrain my thoughts behavior &nbsp;and language in order to break apart habits I developed in order to remain alive.&nbsp;</p><p>My book is generally the type written by psychiatrists psychologists or counselors about patients. In this book I became my own therapist being led only by the insight given to me in a yet mysterious and unknown way.</p>
