This journal is called "e;Healing Hurt Hearts"e; because it's important to acknowledge and own your personal trauma(s) in order to effectively address and heal from them. Trauma is the experience of severe psychological distress following disturbing or life-threatening events. The long-term effects of traumatic experiences can make it difficult for you to move forward in life. However, with any journey, you must first start. The work that you will be doing will center around your trauma narrative. A trauma narrative is a psychological technique used to help survivors of trauma make sense of their experiences, while also acting as a form of exposure to painful memories. When completing a trauma narrative, the story of a traumatic experience will be told repeatedly through verbal, written, or artistic means. This journal will help you process your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors regarding your trauma(s). Through various therapeutic exercises, inspirational quotes/statements, daily activities, and introspective journal prompts, you will be guided along your healing journey. As an added bonus, personal stories from trauma survivors (like you) are included along with resources to seek further assistance, if needed. It is recommended that this trauma journal is completed with a professional counselor. However, this is a self-help journal that can be completed independently in 6 months, one year or more. If at any time you feel the need to take a break from this journal, that is okay. There is no time limit on unpacking your trauma. It's all up to you! Your healing is a page away!

This collection of 55 poems outlines intentional healing from rape, addiction, and coming out of the closet through the power we all have within, and in conjunction with nature. Healing requires humility, which results only after injury; healing commands time to process before repair, even from trauma with a lowercase t. Discomfort does not have to move into suffering. Growth may look beautiful as the results unfold, but it may be excruciating during the process for the grower. There is a reason why they are called growing pains. Every difficulty is an opportunity to move into wisdom, if we can allow ourselves to be molded by the flow of possibility, sometimes called uncertainty. Follow Sara's journey from victim to victor to see where your journey may align. We all have the potential to heal, just by looking closely.

During the beginning pandemic Aaron saw a need for creativity and a voice for the overlook and isolated. After he graduated he was set on writing two films based on experiences he's had in Boise, Idaho. After pitching them and receiving positive feedback he realized that his concepts had one loud underlying theme; isolation. He decided to travel to Tijuana, Mexico a year later to help build a home and care for abandoned families. Although he felt he made a major impact there was so much more for him to do. So he began to write poems to lay his burdens for the people all out. After he left he came back with a poem that would touch the people he cared for. The Lonely Sailor became a hit with everyone he shared it with, and consequently led to the book you are reading now.

This book was written for those who find themselves inadequate and alone to meet life's challenges, with little or no support from family or friends; having only themselves to count on for financial support and without even a car to get to and from work; for those who are scared, depressed and lonely. That is how the author found herself after her divorce. She began writing a journal of prose which enabled her to express her thoughts and activities, then making comments on the prose. The journal became the source for this book. The trauma of all the above factors forced her to turn within, where much to her surprise, answers came! What she has learned is "e;All things (ALL situations, ALL events, ALL circumstances), work together for good, PERIOD!HOWEVER, that phrase has a caveat:It requires that we fully believe - more than that - KNOW that there is a power, greater than our finite selves, that is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The essence of that power is LOVE, that many of us call God. That is what the author wants to share with her readers; That through life's trials and personal tribulation, our successes, and failures, and by turning within for the answers, we become more and more aware that there is indeed a power greater than the finite, inadequate, ego-centered self we hold so dear. For the vast majority of us, this does not happen over-night, that we must be vigilant in watching our thoughts. You will find throughout this anthology, that the author indeed has her ups and downs, successes and failures, but through her persistent belief in that higher power within us, she found the love she was looking for - both within and without.

Everyone sees it, but few are willing to say anything about it. It is the obvious, or difficult situation that people just want to ignore. Families try to behave like it is not there. It is the elephant in the room. "e;Can We Talk? The Unspoken Issues That Challenge High Net Worth Families,"e; offers readers insights from the authors' experience in helping their clients overcome thorny family dynamics that tear at the family fabric. Drawing on their work with more than 100 high net worth families, the authors introduce and explain proven strategies and approaches that help families, and their financial advisors, get unstuck.

DO SOMETHING TODAY THAT YOUR FUTURE SELF WILL THANK YOU FOR.

This book is a result of weeks spent in isolation as Jan channeled God and his laws for today. Everyone knew at a deep level this was needed. The way is not hard and we are all loved equally. God wants us happy and fulfilled.
