Finding Inner Peace

Most everyone on the planet wants inner peace or is in the process of finding inner peace. Finding inner peace, however, can be difficult. Especially when attitudes formed in childhood continue to rule behavior in adulthood and hinder the process of finding inner peace.      
In my memoir, Following the Whispers I illuminate my path to finding inner peace from a childhood permeated with abuse and sexual molestation.

Finding inner peace in a household fraught with anger, tension, disappointment and frustration wasn’t possible. As a child, I found solace alone in my room, singing along with my favorite songs. I learned to escape emotions I couldn’t handle by overeating, watching television, and reading junk novels. Early years of hurt created feelings of self-hatred so unbearable, I became deaf to my own inner voice, causing me to make a series of bad decisions that led to the most devastating consequences—losing custody of my only child. In that moment, finding inner peace was impossible. Broken and filled with despair, the self-hatred seeded in childhood grew into full bloom.

At the same time, that life-changing event catapulted me onto a better path—one of awakening towards finding inner peace. A question burned in my soul: what was wrong with me that I could lose my child? The newfound consciousness and self-acceptance I found as I sought answers, brought me to a state of empowerment and on a path towards finding inner peace. More spiritually fulfilled, I was able to tackle my pain-filled past and start to live a life bathed in awareness as I was finding my inner peace. Trying to answer that soul-searing question was the beginning of my finding inner peace. And finding inner peace was a gift beyond words. Following the Whispers explains why. I’d lost my son, but by finding inner peace, I not only found my own inner voice again, I re-connected with my son.
