Brave Enough To Be Bliss
Hardcover copies can be purchased at cost through the link below or a free digital book is also available. There is no financial gain for me in sharing this book, not because I don't think it has value, but rather because you are worthy of the investment of my time, energy, money and tears if you can become aware of even one thing you didn't already know that could help preserve or repair a relationship and lead you to a little more love, joy and life than you have today.
Ginger Bliss Real Life: A Journey of Healing Through Self-Compassion, Self-Awareness, Self-Awareness, Self-Reflection and Courage
Living Bravely
Welcome to my world of words. For most of my life, writing was the only way I could share my feelings. I wasn't comfortable saying out loud what I could write without hesitation. I have learned how to express myself verbally now, but the written word is still where I most easily share all the pieces of my heart and soul.
I have a passion for people. I have a passion for better understanding myself and in that way being better able to understand those around me. I have a passion for sharing the deep love and concern I feel for every human being on this earth. I have a passion for sharing the importance of self-compassion because without it, I believe lasting change is difficult and we are limited in our ability to powerfully show compassion for others instead of judging them.
In October 2024, I self-published my memoir sharing the whole story of how I became Brave Enough To Be Bliss, meaning brave enough to be myself and brave enough to be happy. Being able to refer to myself as an author still feels strange but having embraced various tools and strategies for my personal growth, I can now say it with some level of confidence. And the more I say it, the more natural it seems...just like everything else I've learned. Because I hated myself so intensely, learning self-compassion was the key to being able to begin my healing journey. It was baby steps at first, and there were times that I felt like I took a step or two back, but then I reached a point where I not only had a sliver of hope, but I could see how when I let my light shine, others not only saw it, but they felt it and sometimes began to learn and grow themselves.
I hope that by vulnerably sharing my experiences and perspective something may resonate with you and inspire you to look within. We can learn something from everyone we encounter if we have an open mind, truly listen to understand another's perspective, ask clarifying questions instead of making up the answers in our minds and negatively impacting relationships.
Book Reviews
"It's so good! I think you have written what so many people feel, have felt about themselves, so to have it in black and white is amazing. We are so hard on ourselves. I have been my worst critic my entire life. I have overanalyzed, said terrible things to myself and worried so much about what I THOUGHT other people thought of me. I'm so excited to read the entire book as I think it will help so many people realize they are not alone with these thoughts and that they can be overcome. Also, I love the injection of music. Music speaks to so many people on so many different levels. It is such a great way to express emotions when our own words can't find their way out." Christina Causey
"I so admire your willingness to dig deep, bare your soul, open your heart and share the story of your pain and determination to overcome it. Your writing will strike a chord with many who could benefit from your wisdom and lessons learned. I know I have!" Kerry O'Connor
