Thoughts Are Things with Sterling Wings

Book excerpt: Oftentimes the most painful experiences are the ones in which we learn the most about ourselves. Linda Onita Hardin-Atkins's personal journal chronicles her life: from the tender age of eleven, through the devastating pain of losing her father, and to the present-day awareness of the true essence of who she is. Hardin-Atkins discovered at a very young age that life was a vast greatness of unexplored questions. This discovery was the true beginning of spiritual awareness - a constant subtleness of something else - something more. Her journey took flight when she reached her mid-thirties and suffered what she describes as unbearable mental pain and anguish after the death of her beloved father. Searching for meaning, she studied philosophy, religion and meditation. After an intensely draining, yet amazingly clarifying meditation, a voice spoke to her, Write an autobiography about your life experiences over the last 28 years. As her deeply buried emotions emerged, Hardin-Atkins was finally able to let go of the limbo that bound her. Surrendering, she found the missing link that she so desperately needed to move forward and embrace the beauty of life, love and joy. Thoughts Are Things With Sterling Wings is a compelling, compassionate and beautiful rendering of a woman's spiritual journey. Astounding in its insights, this narrative is for anyone who wishes to discover the freedom of letting go and letting God in. Linda Onita Hardin-Atkins is a writer who lives near San Pablo, California. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/ThoughtsAreThingsWithSterlingWings.htm
