Shine On, You Crazy Diamond

Written for Women

“I have come to realize that even when we are born with such an innate belief in ourselves, how easily that belief can become masked, hidden, or taken from us. I am also learning just how much of an impact environmental circumstance, the value systems of society, cultural conditioning, family expectations, religious upbringing, abuse and traumas, choices we make, and the opinions of others, along with many other factors can and will influence that belief in ourselves, often hindering all that we are meant to do and be.”

“My hope in writing this book is that by sharing some personal experiences of lessons learned through the process of clearing out the debris of shame, guilt, unrealistic expectations from self and others, social stigmas, childhood traumas, and other unnecessary and unrealistic pressures that we as women often put on ourselves, that I will hopefully inspire other women to use their personal experiences, circumstances, past decisions, hurts, and disappointments, as opportunities for healing and growth, freeing themselves of the cages that keep them from believing in themselves, living a life with intention, joy, love, and purpose, where they stand in their truth and light, as they become the incredible woman that they are capable of and meant to be.”
