Book Spotlight: God, Will I Ever Find Happiness?: The Journey Toward Healing Your Inner Child

Category:
Religion

Synopsis:
This book was created from the question "God, will I ever find happiness?" found in the introduction. The author has often tousled with this question and statement out of exhaustion and hopelessness most of her life. Through asking, there was also a process of searching. Thus, this book was born out of the questioning if there was truly more to life. That more included peace, love, and most of all, happiness. Through her personal experiences of overcoming hardships and depression, Mitzy seeks to provide wisdom to help others become the conquerors they were born and created to be. This book provides helpful tools and perspectives that give guidance to those who are struggling to enjoy their lives to the fullest. The purpose of this book is to let you know that happiness is possible for you!

This book is available for purchase from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  

About the Author:
Mitzy is an Artist, Author, and Coach to many who are seeking to improve their lives from minimum to maximum! She is a native of Jacksonville, Florida and a proud alumna of Spelman College and an anticipatory graduate of McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia. Her education entails a background in Psychology, Studio Art, and Pastoral Care. From a variety of circumstances in her life that range from depression, homelessness, to even finding the ability to deal with the day-to-day “hustle and bustle in life” Mitzy has sought to lend the knowledge and guidance that she has earned and learned. It is through her work that she hopes encouragement and inspiration can be born back into the lives of those who have given up on life and feel like all hope in a better future is gone. Through her writing and presence, Mitzy desires to bring back that fire and passion that is buried deep down within us all.

Book Spotlight: Through an Opaque Window

Category:

Women's Fiction/Romance

Synopsis:    

After four years of struggling to find happiness in their traditional marriage, Sienna Rivera and Declan Simmer agree to a sexually opaque arrangement. Their only two rules are to never bring a lover home, and to never become emotionally attached to a lover. While Sienna’s career as a NYC hotelier flourishes and their newly agreed opaque relationship shows promise, one evening, she wakes up from a stirring dream. She dreamt of being with her best male friend, Ian Mathisen, from college. 

 

Sienna would potentially break the rules by becoming involved with Ian. She proceeds to go through the motions of her everyday life. Declan frequently travels for business and is rarely at home because of his demanding work schedule. To heal her loneliness, she embarks on emotionally convoluted dates with her best friend, and while not sexually charged, the dates rapidly seem like emotional affairs.

Declan is appalled and devastated when he finds a manuscript his wife wrote about a hypothetical, detailed romance between characters loosely based on Sienna and Ian. He realizes that his wife has fallen for her best friend, so he asks for a divorce.

Sienna runs off to Switzerland with Ian while he is on a film project for his own production company. They spend the summer together abroad, attempting to revive memories from their college days when they studied abroad together. Despite the romantic setting, Sienna’s fantasies don’t mesh with routine reality when Ian becomes so busy with his production project. Meanwhile, Ian is still in love with another woman who he has delayed committing to in the midst of his affair with Sienna.

She spends most of her days wandering the city and confronts her fears of failure. She knows that she has been running away from all aspects of her life, including her career and marriage, along with past hurts from her childhood—sexual abuse from her uncle—and college—the night she was raped by her college boyfriend, all which were alluded to throughout the novel.

Understanding her fantasy expectations don’t line up with the day-to-day, she decides to start her own hospitality consultancy firm and leaves Switzerland to be with her husband, seeking his forgiveness. They spend more time with each other and their families now that Declan has taken a different position at his company, lessening the amount of business travel he used to do. 
 

While romantic feelings still linger between Ian and Sienna, they enjoy their friendship love to its fullest extent. Sienna learns that she can still love both her husband and her best friend, but she loves them both in different ways.

This book is available for purchase from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Xlibris.

Synopsis:

J.G. Somers, a prolific writer and author, has completed her new book The Career Kickstart Your 28-Day Action Plan for Finding Your Dream Job: a perfect discussion for individuals seeking for better opportunities in their career; this book talks about the basic rules and mindset when looking for a job to either jumpstart or upgrade one’s curriculum vitae. 

Author Somers emphasizes that a healthy work environment will yield to a more productive employee: “Most of the people that I’ve worked with that disliked their job didn’t hate their work environment but, rather, hated what they had to do day in, day out. Within a month or two of finding a new job with the same responsibilities, they would be unhappy, switch to another company, and again the cycle would continue. Every few years or so, look inward and ask yourself who have you become, where your interest lies now, and what potential opportunities are out there. The following insight isn’t just for the unhappy employee but for every one of us.” 

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, J.G. Somers’s engaging account is the perfect tool for new graduates and people looking for the perfect company that fits their skill set and qualifications. It also provides tips on how to make an effective resume, compose a convincing cover letter, and what to do during a job interview in order to nail that position and hear the sweet words “You’re hired!”
