Drey’s Ichigo Ichie Journey & Journal

Drey's Ichigo Ichie Journey and Journal This book is four years in the making. It chronicles entries highlighting the author's journey in life, particularly marriage and finding ways to maintain a positive outlook. The author is candid about the need to develop coping strategies, help-seeking and the power of your environment in aiding with building stress management capabilities and learning how to develop a mindset of conflict resolution, peer mediation & spiritual awaking. Writing this book was a means to self-discovery. The book is written over the course of several geographical locations to include Big Spring, Texas and overseas in the country of Japan. Both locations offered the author solitude and peace, during a time of chaos and uncertainty. The book addresses conflict on many levels: organizational, personal and internal. The joys of meeting many helping professionals, creative thinkers and tapping into the power of inner strength and resilience has been remarkable. Knowing that life is a journey and making the best of all things has been fuel for my writing.
