THE REBIRTH NON-FICTION BOOK SERIES BEGINS WITH THE REBIRTH OF MY SOUL, a time of reformation, affirmation of faith, restoration, healing, and recovery... BOOK SYNOPSIS: Around and around I go..., this life of experience. Around in death, in remission, and back to the fight, around and around I go... I was 76 pounds of scar tissue to meat upon my bones. Forgetting the struggle from time to time I got caught in the winds. I was found out cold riddled with signs of my disease. My soul was dying and I had to die in order to be reborn. Grabbing hold to my shoulders I cradled my frail bod and whispered these words, I want to survive. There was a time when I didn't want to fight. I didn't see much reason to deny the inevitable. This is my story, my reason, my life support, my cause. I survived, but many a time I must call to remember why. I get frustrated when things don't go my way. I get frazzled when the winds pick up and threaten to close my lungs and stifle my breathing. I write to remind myself of the fight and uphold my shield for I am at war. I write these words of encouragement, mentoring, and self-reflection as I recover. I also write my words of hurt, pain, and odd feelings as I am reborn. It is a daily fight to remember your struggle. Comfort comes quick. We take advantage of second chances in the blink of an eye. MY AFFIRMATION: Just as salt burns open wounds. The mind can be corrupted by thoughts, and by persons that look to downplay your desires, dreams, and goals. We throw salt into our own paths, by letting our fear of the unknown cloud our visions as well as others open our wounds, and salt our dreams. Thus they become dreams deferred. My inspirational bout is a collection of notes, advice, and keys to success. Without mistakes and failures one cannot become successful. Tour my journey through sickness and health, which led me to a new beginning, and the rebirth of my soul. My mistakes and shortcomings are no longer my failures. They have become life experiences. Experiences I will now share with you. As you too, strive for bigger and brighter futures. Written Works of Aija M. Butler
