Author Description

Many of us dream of a better life, pray for a better way, and hope for a brighter tomorrow but we allow circumstances and fear to stop us from changing our situation. "Rise Above THE FEAR" is the story of a woman who stepped completely out of her comfort zone in pursuit of a better way of life. Poor, sexually abused and raped as a child, emotionally estranged from her mother, approached for sexual favors by her father... if anyone was ever set up to fail in life, surely it was this woman. Imagine what it must have taken to overcome her past while balancing the competing demands of being a wife, mother, business owner, and female executive in a male-dominated corporate environment. Through the experiences discussed in this book, people from all walks of life can learn the value of: Overcoming circumstances and fears Moving beyond the pain of the past Ending unhealthy relationships Being honest with yourself and the people around you Pursuing the things you are most passionate about Defining goals and plans to achieve those goals Admitting when things are not working Having the courage to change "Our worse fear is that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us... As we are liberated from our own fear; our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Wiliamson
