Take a journey of healing the past to find redemption to reclaim our souls. In this book, join one man's journey of coming unshackled from life's conditioning, early childhood trauma and becoming what everyone told him to be. — Finding himself on an extraordinary adventure through the "gloomy expanse" of the soul—becoming free from his past, turning his worst days into the foundation on which he reconstructed his life. This story questions what you believe and takes you on an exceptional escapade of what happens when we take the hero or heroine's journey to find the wild inside. It recognizes the smothered truth of what is under the need to be pleasing, charming and conforming to society's demands. See what is possible when we choose to heal, when we step out of the box we are put in by society. When we decide to get outside of the ordinary, everyday suffocation of the reality we exist in; we can find deeper meaning and more profound healing from what we have endured in life. To live a thriving life, we must come home to our soul, passion and purpose; to find whom we are buried under all the rubble, as we rise from the ashes, hearing and answering the battle cry concerning working to end the stigma and prejudice that surrounds mental illness AS WELL AS disabilities. When we dive into how it got all deranged, it is not a neat and tidy journey. Numerous situations and experiences perhaps changed us permanently to be in a world that did not make sense. It is a story of an unchaining of sorts. Using the same strategies, a person might reclaim their power in life and help others do the same. It is less about what happens to us and more about what we do about it. "Lift each other up"; a simple but powerful message, encouraging us to look beyond our differences and celebrate the things making us unique. We see the things that unite us as people instead of separating us.
