Several years ago I participated in a Hay House Book Writer’s Bootcamp and upgraded so I could send my book proposal in for publication consideration. My book’s subject was about my parents’ history as prisoners of war on German Farms (forced labor) and their subsequent five years spent in a displaced person’s camp where they met, married and had two children. I proposed various chapters of their experiences here in the U.S. while living with PTSD, as well as stories about my grandparents, whom I’ve never met. My book wasn’t chosen as the winner, and at the time, it crushed my spirit.
I didn’t pick up that project again for a while, but it always felt like a promise made to my parents and my ancestors to tell their story. This promise has stayed with me since then, on the periphery of my thoughts, along with the accompanying guilt. “Maybe I’m not meant to be a writer” floated in and out of my thoughts. Or, maybe I’m not cut out for being a writer. And on and on. But promises don’t require you to be perfect or even good. They require completion. So I continued to feel an unanswered request from my parents and ancestors to tell their story.
I’m excited to share that I’ll be a featured author in the upcoming collaborative book published by Brave Healer Productions called: The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools for Transformation. This is Book Six in the bestselling book series!
My chapter is chapter five, The Whys Matter, War Trauma Wisdom Heals Ancestral History, and I can’t wait for you to read it! You’ll learn about my personal journey of transformation and the tools I used for the transformation in my life.
This chapter will get more exposure through this collaborative book project than my own efforts to publish a book on my own. Brave Healer Productions and The Wellness Universe’s marketing, social media exposure, and expertise in publishing have been above and beyond anything I could have imagined.
As we zero in on launch day, I’ve noticed a lighter heart amidst the excitement of holding the book in my own hands. I realized it was the sense of a promise fulfilled, and I can feel my parents and ancestors smiling down on me. The nagging guilt is gone, and tears come to my eyes knowing that this personal goal, this promise, to tell my parents’ history and honor my ancestors’ story will be a defining moment in my life. I’m filled with gratitude and a sense of accomplishment that will stay with me till my dying day.
