A Journey to SomeThing More: Not Your Momma's Self-help Book Paperback - 2015

Sherry Forler, currently resides in Michigan. Freelance Writer, Blogger, Songwriter, Seasoned Social Case Worker, Pathways to Potential Success Coach. The loss of love is not nearly as painful as our resistance to accepting it. I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again, and then tell myself that the mended whole was as good as the new. What is broken is broken and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best, then mend it and see the broken pieces as long as I lived. Sometimes, divorce is a sign of God's mercy and grace and not a symptom of human failure. So when it's finally over, you need to just step back, reassess the situation, and figure out just who you really are and what exactly you're looking for. The journey to finding SomeThing More, often times left me with a visible sign on my back reading "Welcome to my playground, I have giant mood swings and emotional roller coaster rides!" Enjoy! At one point it was my main goal in life to have a psychiatric condition named after me. I have always written, from poems to songs to "screw you" letters (never sent ha ha), it wasn't until my father became ill that I took writing seriously. I wanted to remember everything about the last days of his life with me, how he felt, how I felt, our talks, our time spent in the hospital. I never wanted to forget the "feelings". So I wrote all my feelings down. Often times we get caught up in the "heat of the moment", or never get to say "goodbye" to loss, or have those " I should of said this or that" moments then we dwell on the lost moment, obsess over it and hold tight to the hurt. For me, writing all those "feelings" of "lost moments" has been a truly positive way to release all the negative and unhealthy feelings of remorse, grief, desperation, loss, abandonment, rejection and guilt. I write about everything from day-to-day life mishaps, to occurrences relating to my job, during my divorce and till now, Life after Divorce. So, I thought I would share my dad's dry sense of humor to the equation, talk about life issues regarding relationships and dating, add a little wisdom from life experiences, and maybe, just maybe, help someone along the way to start their own journey to finding Something More. ajourneytosomethingmore@yahoo.com
