Sometimes it's hard not to let the weight of what we carry--or the memory of what we've lost--take over. Many of us know the reality

of struggle, and so many people suffer in silence. It's hard. It's hard not to give up when we face the repeated disappointments

making castles in life's fading sands. Sometimes, all it took was one solid wave to destroy what I had spent years building.

 So I decided to give it a voice. All of it: the tears, the pain. And the lessons. The things I saw and learned and gained along with my life.

I didn't just want people to survive inside their storms. I wanted people to thrive inside their storms. And so I wrote, as I walked through my own.

The words found in this book became my voice and my letter to the world. They became my deepest attempt to, not just pick myself up, but others along the way. I wrote because, just as we will fall in life, so will we rise. That's the thing about this world. It never gives us only one kind of path. There is pain. Yes. And loss. And even darkness. But there is also light. There is hope. There is

beauty.

And there is also love and happiness.
