Use the Pain… USE the pain! Yes, that’s always better to use it to be motivated, rather than getting swallowed up in it!

I’ve always preferred using the pain as a fuel to propel me through the rough times. It beats the powerlessness of allowing myself to be consumed by it. I don’t know whether that means I’m a survivor *because* of my pain or in spite of it, but either way, I am stronger for my challenges and live with the spirit of a phoenix–gaining more intensity, more joy and more happiness.

Hmmm, interesting point you raise, Jenny. Chicken or egg? You’re waayyyy ahead of me! I guess just as a shadow is cast by a light, so is pain. Always love reading your posts. Pure Heart, CJ
CJ has an amazing ability to reach into an author’s words and extend, expand, and help bring them to light and life, without interfering with the original tone and voice of the work. She knew just how to bring flavor into my wording. During the editing process, I remember telling friends and family how lucky I was to have found CJ for this book. It was the perfect fit! I could tell she really cared about the subject matter. She is the best of the best!
