The Gifted Ones ~ How it all began...
Sometimes we don't actually start out thinking about writing a book, particularly a memoir, but sometimes, it just happens. That's how it happened for me anyways.
But first, let me take you back to February 2005.
My mother had just passed away, and like most grieving daughters, I soon realized I had a lot of pent-up issues with her...still. A lot of anger...still. So after many loooong 'therapy' walks on the beach, I started to put the pieces together...the if's, the why's, the what if's, the should of's. And as a result, my healing process started... in my head. It wasn't until I wrote it down in black-and-white that I really connected the dots...and realized she wasn't the only one I still held a grudge towards.
Through my writings I found the source and strength to understand, forgive, let go,and finally heal. And as a result, 'The Gifted Ones' was born.
This is my journey through life; my struggles, my failures, my accomplishments. I have not told a soul this story for 30+ years...but I feel now is the time. It's a story everyone will be able to relate to, in one form or another, as it deals mainly with one simple word: A-C-C-E-P-T-A-N-C-E. Something we all strive for.
