For years, Louise was stuck in anger, depression, anxiety and insecurity. She discovered that she wanted more joy out of life, which required internal work. Part 1, "Out of the Darkness," depicts the injustice and the loss Louise witnessed or experienced. Its "darkness" of anger, frustration, and hopelessness, contrast sharply to Part 2, "Into the Light," which celebrates the awkward and courageous steps towards spiritual renewal, revival, and ultimately, joy.This collection will inspire readers to do the work it takes to face the obstacles that often hold us back from pursuing our dreams. Staying encouraged is a critical part in completing this internal work, and through the experiences shared in this book, Louise infuses life lessons and encouragement in her readers. Coming out of the darkness and into the light is a process. No matter how long it takes, you are not alone.
