SNEAK PEEK OF MICHELLE'S CHAPTER, PAIN HAS PURPOSE

"Everyone has a story, and I’m no different.  I, like so many people, believed that there was an author outside of myself who had already written my life’s memoir for me.  I existed by reacting to every event and chapter as it unfolded.  The truth is I lived most of my life this way pretty happily – no harm and no foul.  There was joy, but certainly not a lot of passion or meaning.  There were also aches and pains, but I had never experienced any real tragedy or felt the need to call on courage in a big way.  That all changed in my late twenties when a difficult and dark event took place.  In order for me to make sense of it all and to begin to heal, I knew that I could not stay the same.  The immense fear and anxiety of this incident caused me to desperately search for hope and peace.  I needed the revelation that I was indeed a co-author and creator with God in my personal autobiography.  You see, transformational stories can only be written by HIM through YOU.  They are the messy scribbles, reformulated thoughts, and soul lessons written, rewritten, and read over and over until you take full responsibility for your life – EVERY LITTLE BLESSED BIT OF IT.  This, I would discover, is how to find your personal power … what I call your Inner Spark!"
