I want to share with you my story about a triumphant journey and how I managed to flourish while encountering illness, adolescent trauma, racism, and harassment during my lifetime. An estimated 223,400,000 individuals will suffer at least one traumatic event in their life time. (National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, MD) Unfortunately, too often we don’t know what to do when the challenges in life cross our path.

This book will provide practices that will benefit anyone experiencing traumatic events in their life. As an author, I desire to reveal some of my personal struggles and how I have learned these 10 ingredients that have worked for me over time. I am confident that anyone can gain strength and healing while recovering from almost any situation. After all, I did.
