Growing Up Amish

Book #2 in my series “Growing Up Amish” will be available real soon!  Currently I am working hard in getting it ready for release……first in Audio format and then in book format.

Stay tuned for more updates and exciting news as we get closer to the release dates.

This journey of talking about my past, what my life was like as a teenager, remembering all the good and not so good times has been so healing for me. 

Share your story, talk about what it is that is causing you to hold back and you will be surprised at how good that feels.  Even if you don’t share it with the world like I do, write it down on paper or find a friend who will listen and not judge you. 

Why is this so important:  It validates your feelings, thought, and ideas.  Now that you have talked or wrote about it, it makes it real and it is not longer just in your mind. 

Writing your thoughts on paper is something that I do all the time, not just when I am wanting to share with the world but also when I am having a down day or another obstacle has come my way.  This practice has also made me realize that I no longer have problems in my life, just another obstacle to overcome and all I need to do is figure out how to overcome that obstacle.

You can completely re-invent your life by planning time to write about your thoughts, worries, and obstacles.  We are programed to only think about what it is we want, therefore for some of us it never becomes real because we keep it in our heads/minds.  Get it out on paper or audio recording so you can go back and read/listen to it…..it makes it real.

In this upcoming Audio book I talk alot about how my brain was occupied with thoughts of leaving and as soon as I found someone to talk to about it my dream came true.  That was when I learned about writing and have done it ever since.  Some of the things I do today were only dreams that I thought would never come true at one point.

The desires put in my heart by God were so much greater than the circumstances that I was born into…..by Anna Dee Olson
