When my husband had a second heart attack before age fifty-three, I realized something was still amiss in my own life. From years of soul searching, I already knew that a trauma could be used to find deeper meaning and illuminate an invaluable lesson. My husband¿s heart attack triggered me to ask some honest questions about myself, my marriage, and my daily way of life.In Trail to My True Self, I tell my story of how I discovered my issue¿while hiking in the Grand Canyon¿of lack of self-love and self-worth. I explain its origins, the connection to my father¿s early death, and the all-pervasive effects it had in my life. From denying my true self, altering my actions and words with the purpose of receiving validation from others, to laying-in-fetal-position depression. I realize the path to self-love, being my true self, and being joyful is a process consciously undertaken every day, which also includes a purpose beyond myself. Included are the practices which I have used to love myself more fully, find fulfillment, and be my true self in hopes that the reader may also benefit from my experiences. I hope that my story will help the reader to be who she/he was born to be¿his/her true self.
