Gems of Wisdom

I finally published my Gems of Wisdom!

It can be purchased on Amazon for only $4.97

This book was born because of my Mary...... 

During my own journey of recovery starting in 2001, I started digging deep into my soul to find myself - save myself.  I started writing from my heart and listening with all my being.  I was lost with hopelessness.  Broken.  When I heard something that made sense to me I wrote it down, when I had a thought, I wrote it down.  I wrote to heal.  By 2006 I was on a healthy road to recovery and my Mary's troubles began.  My heart broke..... I wanted to bottle up what I had and give it to her.  Anything I could to save her from the pain I went through.  I thought about my little Gems I had gathered and decided I would put it in a journal for her - clean and simple.  I found a nice pink leather journal and made my 1st edition of Gems of Wisdom. I found out that I couldn't send it to her this way so I started typing it in word, printed it, cut the sheets in half and took it to the local Office Supply store in the area and had it bound.  Mary loved it!  This is how my book was born.  I got the copyright in 2007.  I made several books and gave them away.  It was time consuming and a little costly, but worth it to me.  You can't put a price tag on the possibility of saving someone.  You have to give it away to keep it! It wasn't until this year, 2012, that I was able to have it published, thanks to the talents and work of my husband Chad!

It is my dream and I know it was Mary's, to share this simple little book to as many people as possible. Hospitals, jails, rehabs, meetings...... If by chance the sales excel,  I will be so happy to put the money earned towards her kids college!  Wow, that would be a dream........

It is because of my sweet sister Mary who is attached to my soul and the love of my life, my soul mate, Chad that my Gems of Wisdom is alive and ready to be shared and hopefully touch some souls!
