A Personal Journey

Book Cover & Preview Text
I found myself going through this type of internal inventory of my own life at age 33. Insomnia kicked in one night and my mind started racing intensely on its own track. One of the reasons for my sleeplessness was that my 33rdbirthday was approaching in two days. I laid there in bed and started to compare my life to those of my friends and siblings. At my age, my friends and family have pegged me as a successful person. I have my own condo(with mortgage, but that’s beside the point) and I have a stable job. Even with all the accomplishments and accolades, I find myself constantly on thequest to answer the question, “Am I happy?”

About the Book
The day after my thirty-third birthday, I felt a little melancholy and unsure of myself, so I decided to jot down some notes, to not only gather my thoughts but also to reassure myself of who I am. Before I knew it, the notes became as thick as a book. This book helps me count my blessings, as well as recalling my cherished past. I hope that in this book you’ll find strength, compassion, happiness, courage, and comfort in knowing that we are all more similar than we are different, linked by our human struggles.
