EXCERPT ONE:

Introduction

My name is Celisha J. I have been through a lot, learned, and am better because of it. I am a firm believer that every lesson is a blessing. God has saved me so many times. I know he did this because he has something bigger planned for me.

My prayer for this book is that it helps women and children who have gone through the same or similar situations to know that they don’t have to allow the traumas of their past to keep them from being successful. I believe that God has a plan for our life, but we did something to alter that plan along the way. He did not intend for us to struggle or have a hard life. He allows us to choose the path we want to go on. The good thing is he is that he is Always there to pick us up when we fall. We were born for greatness.

Hold yourself accountable for your mistakes and forgive yourself and those who hurt you. Forgiveness is for you. I want people to know you can be the best you that you allow. No one says it will be easy, but the main thing to remember is that you are responsible for you. I believe that the only person you can truly believe in life, who won’t let you down, is God and yourself. In order for you to crawl out of the slump of being abused, hurt, let down, controlled, and battered is, your faith in God and the belief that he has better for you. He does not want us to live in our past. He intended for us to learn from it and allow our past to help other people gain strength, but if we tell our stories and we have not grown from what happened to us, then who can we really help?

I have done some things in my past that I am not proud of, and this book tells you my story and how I remember it. No, it is not everything, but the book will tell you the things that stood out the most to me. I have learned a lot and grown from my mistakes, and I have decided not to allow the embarrassment, pain, and struggles from my past to hold me back, so I am releasing it in this book.

This is my Ugly Truth!

SPOTLIGHT:

Exploring “I survived” – a post about the setting of my book. (~ 300 words)

“I Survived” – the name tells you what I did during this phase of my life. This is the story about my early childhood and adolescent days. Since this is about me and my life, the setting is centred around me, my family, and my house (rather, the places where I lived). This book is set to walk you through my life as it unfolds, with details at a few places, where I deemed necessary. Overall, this book talks about me living through and exploring life as it comes. Hence, this is set in my early childhood, youth, and adolescent days.

I felt that these times of my life are the best settings for my book as these were eventful phases of my life in which I went through several ugly and torturous moments at the hands of people that I had trusted the most or did not expect to. To summarize, I was molested, raped, abused, beaten, tortured, and more by people around me. I was subject to this treatment by people who I knew or who knew me. I was taken advantage of by people who I thought were my family members.

Considering these factors, I thought the setting of my personal life through my golden or peak years was the best setting for my book. It sets the stage beautifully considering the sequence of events that I lived. This also sets the stage for my second book, which will be part of two of my first book. I would rather not reveal the name at this time. Read my book, “I Survived” on Kindle or order your copy from Amazon today. In my book, you will realize that this is centred around the people in my life, and the places where I have lived.
