Book Cover & Preview Text
All of my life I have wandered through life wondering, “Why am I so different?” My thoughts, my actions, my beliefs, my rationale for life are vastly different than the next person. I am an avid researcher, I am committed to lifelong learning, I love ministering, I love singing, I love people to a certain extent, but at the same time I am a loner. I have presented myself to the world in the fullness of myself, as I knew it, only to encounter people who accept this part of me and neglect the other parts. For example, people would fall in love with the comedienne and expect me to always be in funny mode, but they don’t understand the intricacies of a comedienne is the “not so funny” pains that they feel in the core of their being that are masked with their comedic elements. On the other hand, people would be attracted to the preacher in me and then when I make a mistake or want to go have a drink, then they think that I am phony or unsaved. I don’t even want to mention the intellectual side of me that everyone loves, but then when it comes to matters such as street lingo and other concepts that just don’t make sense to me, then I am judged as naïve and unintelligent or even worse, weak. With these revelations, I came to the conclusion that if people were to accept all of me then they must know all of me. In order for them to know all of me, then I must discover all of me and share it, withholding nothing. With that in mind, God birthed this book, “The Journey Back to Me” as a tool for people who desire to know me and be used as an additional tool for them to get to know themselves. We become so that others may become as well. Our life journeys are not selfish because every storm that we go through is not for us, but that we may be able to relate and understand others in a manner of identification, as well as sharing the manners in which we overcome in an effort to help them to become better as well, even if it means us growing together. These are that truths that are not taught in school or church but must be understood in order for you to live your best, most authentic life. Writing this book, reading this book and implementing the practices of its sister book, “Embracing the Journey: 40 days of Filling in the Blanks of Your Life” will save some thousands of dollars in medical bills and therapy costs because, if the truth be told, a lot of our health issues are related to the irritation, aggravation and debilitative ignorance of who we are. This does us a disservice and often forces us to fall prey to the satanic attacks of the memories of our past that cause us to feel victimized by this thing that we call “life”.
