From Book to Movie

Have you ever been nervous and excited at the same time?

I have. The moment Glenn asked me to write my chapter in the book Faith, Failure, Success: Surviving the Storm I knew that this was an opportunity that I should not miss.

While I wrote my chapter titled “Life On Fire” I remembered feeling the pain, embracing my faith, recognizing my failure and being excited about my successes since the loss of my husband due to Covid-19. In this chapter, I described my story. Today, I had an opportunity to watch the other authors in the book, tell their stories in our documentary and I felt so inspired.

The documentary Faith, Failure, Success: Surviving the Storm was released on Inde TV today. I am so excited!

Even if you purchased our book titled Faith, Failure, Success: Surviving the Storm, you don’t want to miss hearing these dynamic authors share their stories verbally in this movie. It’s powerful! I am so honored to be included in this experience with them.

Are you ready to be encouraged and inspired to overcome any challenges that you are facing?

Ah Ha Moment

"I'm not even going to tell you not to fight because you are going to fight somebody today. Can you at least tell somebody first?" - Minnie Rice As a youth, when I heard those words flow from my grandmother's mouth to my ears, my response was "She can't tell me what I am gonna do. Watch me prove her wrong today. I'm not going to fight anyone."

All day long my stance was challenged, but I stood as a victor. While my grandmother was shocked, I experienced an "Ah Ha Moment". As I reflected on the things that occurred that day, one of the key things that I realized was that when I made up my mind that no matter what anyone did to me that day, I was not going to fight them, my actions flowed in the direction of my decision. An "Ah Ha" Moment occurs as a result of you shocking yourself by what you accomplished. From that day forward, I decided that I did not have to merely react to what came my way. I could control my responses to people and situations which in turn, changed the trajectory of my life. Just like this "Ah Ha" Moment helped change the trajectory of my life, the same principle can be applied to the process of writing your story. It's important to set a writing schedule and stick to your schedule. Your decisions matter. Are you ready to experience a "Ah Ha" Moment as you write your story?

It's time for you to have an Ah Ha Moment. Make up your mind that no matter what happens to you today, you will write at least three sentences in your upcoming book. Someone needs the solutions embedded in the story that you are currently writing. Don't allow distractions to rob you of a pre-determined victory. It's time to embrace the royal you.

I Choose Me

Sometimes the loss of a close loved one hits us really hard. In fact, the pain from the loss can be felt months or years after its occurrence. Just like the way you move to a tune that sounds good to you, sometimes triggers such as the deceased loved ones birthday, an activity that you enjoyed together, a certain scent of a particular cologne or perfume may cause you to move unexpectedly. It is in those moments that you need to develop an "I Choose Me" mindset. In the next few passages, I will discuss what this mindset looks like.

Have you ever stood in a line as a youth, patiently waiting for someone to choose you to join their team; however, they picked everyone else instead of you?

I've had that experience when I wanted to play baseball in elementary school on the play ground with my classmates. When they did not choose me until everyone else was chosen, I decided that no matter which team I played on, I chose me i.e. I would give the task 100% of my effort and we will win.

If you are going to navigate the dark gloomy painful waters of loss, you must embrace the "I choose me" mindset by giving 100% of your effort to healing. In 2020, my maternal grandmother died and a month later, my new husband died after only five months of marriage. I was devastated! My maternal grandmother was more like a mother to me because she raised my siblings and I after our mother died when I was only seven years old. The pain from the loss of her coupled with the loss of my new husband was unfathomable. They were two of my biggest supporters especially with regards to writing.

Although I'm a published author, I no longer had a desire to write. Their death felt like someone stabbed me in the heart and in the back repeatedly, causing me to feel weak while forcing me to choose myself daily. Efforts to choose myself daily involved looking for the light in the midst of this dark situation. In order to look for light, I would write Facebook post about a memory that I had with my deceased loved one and a lesson that I gained from my encounters with them. I also wrote my feelings in a letter. To write, is to exercise the authority that you have been given as royalty.

Writing is a powerful aspect of your healing journey. Get a journal and write your feelings about the deceased loved one including memories that you had with them, write about your feelings, any lessons learned from the deceased, etc. Choose yourself each day by doing something that brings you joy and write about how it in your journal. Once you are feeling stronger, it's time to help someone else by writing your story. You will already be halfway there due to all the other that you have been doing along your healing journal. The next step is to have your journal transcribed. Using this technique will allow you to free yourself while also giving you content for your book. Pain owes you are return for what you have gone through and people need the solutions that are in your story. It's time to write it.
