We all face challenges in life, whether you are rich, poor, high, low, black, white, successful, or unsuccessful. There are challenges of every kind. Emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual, financial, health, relational. Many of which are associated with childhood trauma and abuse. The author dedicates the first chapter of the book to share her own childhood trauma and how she got through them because of "WHAT I TELL MYSELF". We need to be motivated and encouraged as we go. The truth is, sometimes there's no one to turn to at a moment's notice. But what if you can just turn a page in your favorite book and exactly what you need just pops right in front of you through those pages or the first pages you flipped? Maybe you are one who need that morning booster before you get your day started, so you like to keep your favorite book at your bedside and read a page before you get going. If I have described you, then "WHAT I TELL MYSELF" is the book for you. This was born out of my life's experience and challenges that often times rendered me within my thoughts and I jotted them down. I would overhear conversations, saw something, someone did something to me or others, at times good and other times bad and my thoughts would be provoked hence I wrote what I thought in quotes. This is just simple (a self-booster) when you need it most! Grab a copy for you and while at it, grab two more for a friend or family member.
