Moving On....: from Survival to Victory Wanda Winters-gutierrez

Moving On... is a quick read...100 Plus Pages of Pure Inspiration It began as a second edition to an earlier book. One month into the edits it took on a life of its own. While it still contains a few of the inspirational letters I wrote to a hurricane survivor, it is also a book for the survivors of storms beyond natural disasters. Storms driven by un-met needs, un-healed hurts, un-resolved issues, which shroud us in clouds of depression, low self-esteem, confusion, loneliness. The kinds of storms that leave us with broken hearts, broken dreams, broken lives. The storms you and I have lived through, and sometimes camped-out in for long weary nights. This book is about acknowledging 'what is' and making quality decisions to move on to 'what can be.? This book is about change and choices. It is about a new beginning in all areas of life. They say that the books that really change a reader's life are those that change the author's as well. In this collection of articles, book excerpts, poetry, and quotes I share my heart. I pray they will give you the inspiration for your journey as they did mine. Moving On? follows my personal journey into the world of survivors from the early days until now. It is a world of pain and beauty, hopelessness and healing, death and new life. Now imagine we are sitting at my kitchen table. I have poured you a hot cup of coffee, or tea if you prefer. There may even be a plate of warm cookies nearby. We talk and laugh, perhaps shed a few tears. As I take your hand in mine and look into your eyes I want you to realize that no matter what the present circumstances are? ?Happiness? is your destination, and ?Choice? is your passport. I tell you upfront I have only one message... ?While I celebrate your survival, I know for sure it is only a launching pad for your beautiful future. You have within you all you need to begin again. God has much more for you and you can take the first step today.? Blessings, Wanda G.
