Sharon's Story

The Background

Through my life I went through a number of years where I experienced tremendous loss, rejection and abandonment.

At that time, my entire identity and sense of security came from 3 places, my faith and active church ministry which were deeply rooted and precious, my family and my music teaching career.

In the space of just a few months, my church and marriage simultaneously broke down.  The parallels were uncanny.  There was a power struggle within the church that released shocking ugliness and cruelty.  The divisiveness within the church manifested an equally destructive force within my marriage, ultimately  resulting in the utter destruction of both.

Suddenly, I had no husband, no home, no church family and since much of my clientele came from the church, I lost most of my business as well.

By now, my identity was a single mom with two little boys, on welfare, homeless and with no faith whatsoever.

All of this trauma changed me from the inside out. Post traumatic stress, manic depression and anxiety all set in simultaneously.  Fear became my only constant.

Consequently, chronic insomnia caused by constant flashbacks and nightmares also took hold, and wouldn't let go.

My nightmares involved death, violence, and blood everywhere.

Interestingly enough, my therapist interpreted this as meaning that I believed that my spirit had been killed by my own choices and by others, and I now believed I was a dead soul inside of a living body.

Before moving on, I must state with great conviction that my church related issues are not a reflection of most churches. My childhood home Church is a powerful venue of sincere teaching, worship and encouragement.  The events of which I spoke were isolated to one institution.

The Consequences

During the years that followed, my behavior was completely destructive to everyone around me and suicide looked like the most heroic action.

I tried to write the details here, but I just couldn't create the impact that I needed to create with my writing in order for you to fully comprehend the magnitude of my condition.

Instead, I have provide you with an excerpt of a live testimonial which I was asked, and was honored to deliver to an audience at a recent on-line conference about thinking patterns and how they govern our lives.

This audio is the very first time I was ever able to speak publicly about my illnesses.  It was one of the most difficult moments of my life, but I wanted to share it with you here.

The introduction to the conference was hosted by my husband, Steve.

Here is my audio testimonial...listen to this, it says a lot!

The Path to Healing

In the spring of 2004 my life changed forever!

Through some connections that my husband had made via his internet businesses, we were able to learn from some of the world's top minds on personal development.

I exposed myself to a whole new world of possibilities by changing the way I was using my mind to manifest the results in my life, and you can make the same changes in YOUR life.

The Current Reality

If you listen again to my audio testimonial, you will discover that my belief system now serves and inspires me.

I am now compelled to give back, and that's why I have written this audio e-book!

I have rebirthed enthusiasm into my music teaching, and I incorporate my newly found revelations into the lessons to enhance and unleash learning and creativity.

I am writing original music which soothes and uplifts the soul!

I have written and recorded an audio e-book about my experiences, and I am praying that this audio e-book will grab the attention of those who's minds are filled with fear and darkness, and that my story provides them with hope and a precious path to healing.

My passion is to encourage and support others through on going research and learning and discovery.

Only now am I discovering the truths which allow me to become more than I ever thought possible, and definitely more than the sum of my experiences. I would love to share those truths with you as they are unfolding.

I invite you to purchase my audio series and audio e-book; "A Path to Healing" now so that you and I can walk the path to healing together.

What a journey awaits us!

In "A Path To Healing", I will walk you through the steps that I took which had such a profound effect on my life.
