The fear of being set free kept me in my cage. Your fear can set you free, but only if you free them first. After that, fear has no power. When we question what we feel and think, we allow the transparency of those thoughts and emotions to find their way to the surface. We can uncover fears layer by layer to see what lies beyond. Fear is very often irrational and driven by a deeper source, maybe even an old wound.

My thoughts involve those who may find the ideas within this book to be useful and possibly helpful with a current or past or even a future catastrophe involving a certain relationship.
