This is a story about my battle with domestic violence & corruption & the unbelievably challenging & confronting journey that catapulted me on a profound healing path of therapeutic self-discovery, empowerment & personal-transformation - finding my (inner)Soulmate & the ultimate Self-Love in the process... "There were so many points on my journey, where I could see; completely understand - how other's end up, giving up; giving in; losing control; their heart; their mind; their spirit; their faith; their trust; their will (to go on) - too unmanageable; too unbearable - so deflated; defeated; depressed; down-trodden, they can't get back up - medicating themselves; hospitalised; sectioned; taking their own life. Giving me so much insight; understanding; compassion; support; love, for those who have lost the battle (along the way) - giving me even more drive; determination, to keep going; keep fighting through - to become a voice; an advocate, for anyone; everyone, who has experienced; found themselves caught up in ABUSE's; CORRUPTION's harrowing web"... It's been a 13-year journey writing my memoirs, so to finally have it published is a huge personal milestone. And whilst I haven't written the entire time, it has definitely consumed a very large potion of my time, head-space & energy for a lot of years. Writing it has been such a massively cathartic; libetating; healing & enlightening experience & I have absolutely loved the process, but I'm also incredibly relieved to finally finish it; be free of it - not only releasing it to the world, but mentally; emotionally; spiritually & even physically, too. I can honestly say, I have poured every bit of my heart & soul into this book - purging every possible feeling; experience & word, that I could possibly express; release; resolve & free my-self from - such a tremendous letting go for me - a way to literally close the book on a life once upon a time - now able to leave it all behind me - begin a new life - write; create a brand new story - the new direction, adventures & journey ahead, giving me the script for my next book... It's taken a lot of courage to publish this book, which I am confronted with every time I think about someone reading it - triggering waves of vulnerability (every time) - constantly challenging my decision in choosing courage over comfort (which I will always continue to do - no matter how scary or uncomfortable)... The release date of this book (16 Sep, 2019) serendipitously coincided with the 14th Anniversary of the kidnapping of my-3-children. Sadly, we remain alienated & estranged from each other, however, my unwavering faith continues to keep me comforted, strong & patient, while I await the 'How; Where; When' of our reunion & the justice we deserve - releasing my book on this day, part of the story; the journey & if You decide to read it, You become part of my story; my journey too.... Love-Ness xo PS. I will not be promoting The Ness Memoirs - letting it go now, to have a life of its own; setting it free to take its own journey - organically travelling wherever & to whomever it needs to...
