This book is a companion to "The Woman I Love: Surviving, Healing and Thriving After a Childhood of Sexual, Emotional and Physical Abuse." Becky Norwood believes that journaling, putting pen to paper to write your story, combined with expressing oneself through art is an incredible tool for healing. Childhood sexual abuse is most often perpetrated by someone the victim knows. It happens to both boys and girls. Domestic Violence is also perpetrated generally by one we once loved. If you, or someone you know is experiencing abuse or has in the past, know you are not alone. This happens in epidemic proportions in our world and the pain that it leaves us with is incredible. Our goal is to not only create awareness, but more importantly share a message of hope and healing. There are many studies that show that abuse survivors often suffer from many self destructive issues as adults. Many are broken and struggle to find wholeness. We are here to say that you are NOT alone. That healing IS possible. There is quite a movement happening right now. A movement of women and men rising up and speaking out. The beauty of this is that in there is an amazing healing that takes place from the writing and sharing of your story. As we write, and as we have shared, we found that we began to write ourselves a new story. We begin to see things in a different light. We begin to forgive, first and foremost ourselves, then others who were involved. We feel that forgiving is something that must be done for ourselves. In that process, we begin to love ourselves...a key ingredient to transforming our lives into not just healing, but thriving in life. If you are on a healing journey already, you will enjoy this book series, as positive reinforcement. Watch for our next book in this series that is dedicated to all abuse survivors. This book, "We Choose to Thrive: Our Voices Rise in Unison to Spread a Message of Healing and Thriving for Sexual, Emotional and Physical Abuse Survivors" In this book you will find chapter after chapter of women telling their stories of healing and how they came to a place of peace and are now thriving in their lives. This book is expected to publish in October. There are many resources available to us to begin our healing process. There are organizations such as www.RAINN.org that have been instrumental in guiding many people to find immediate help, and measures to begin healing. RAINN provides key information of what to look for if you suspect that someone you love is currently being abused, and describe the after effects that plague us as adults until we take measures to heal. www.TheWomanILove.com

As an entrepreneur, networking is an important activity that is critical to both my personal growth and the development of my business. Growing a small business is all about networking, building relationships and taking action. Networking properly will build a successful business. It is not something that happens overnight. It takes, time, drive and organization. The organizational aspect of networking is why this journal was created. It was created to help you track your marketing goals as well as sales goals. It was created to help avoid the pitfalls of treating networking as an afterthought. We've all heard the saying, "What gets written down gets done." Networking, if done strategically and exceptionally well, has the potential to generate business...the best kind of business...word of mouth....which basically becomes referral marketing. Using networking as a strategy to attract new business is the key. I am a member of BNI (Business Networking International) and have served in different capacities of responsibility. I have also been a member of a variety of other networking groups, including my local Chamber of Commerce. What I have observed is that the individuals who take the time to record and track their networking activities are the most successful. This handy journal conveniently helps you track referrals given and received, one to one meetings with individual members, key notes from the weekly presentations given by members, thank you for closed business, continuing networking educational events and more. As you attract your word of mouth marketing team, which is what true networking is...(and the primary function of a marketing team is to get YOU more business), always remember that this is not WIIFM (what's in it for me?) Networking meetings generally have members give 10 minute presentations about their business at the weekly meetings. Use this time to take notes...in your handy journal, key points being made by the speaker AND who in your sphere of peers would be a good referral for this person. As you build your business through networking you will discover "Power Partners." Power partners are other people in other lines of business that compliment what you do and who become powerful referral resources of each other. An example of this is a realtor. What does a realtor need? A mortgage person, a title company, a moving company, a cleaning company, perhaps a handyman service, a plumber, a painter, an electrician, a carpet cleaner...you get the picture. This will serve as a handy reference to track who those power partners are AND whether a particular networking activity or group is serving you well, providing the monetary success you joined the group for in the first place. While BNI members have an online tracking system, this journal will be handy to simply record weekly meeting activities. For other networking groups who do not have digital means to track, this will serve you well. This journal is set up for tracking weekly meeting activity. Perhaps your network group only meets biweekly. It will still serve you well. The important thing is to track, record and review. Doing so, will help you be prepared. In the daily hustle of our busy lives, it is way too easy to forget things that are important. Using this handy resource you will be able to record not just contact information, but every word of mouth referral you receive from your network, who gave the referral to you, what happened as a result and if it led to even more business. This can be a database of sorts to help you track how specific people help you, how YOU can help them, how often you meet, who THEY want to meet and any other pertinent information. Here's to YOUR networking success, and keeping the Spotlight On Your Business! www.SpotlightOnYourBusiness.com

In this book is the stories of 31 amazing women who have the love, the heart, the courage and the wisdom to share their stories with you. These stories will touch your heart. We Choose to Thrive is a work of heart with messages from women who have a story to tell. Each of us has been a victim of abuse, some beginning in childhood, others later on as adults with domestic violence or even rape. You will find stories from sea to shining sea...from Australia, New York, roots in Guatemala, from all around Canada and the U.S. You will discover that the perpetrators of abuse do not respect ethnic backgrounds, socio-economic backgrounds, or religious backgrounds. Our message is to other who've been victims of abuse. Abuse is abuse no matter what KIND of abuse. There is no measuring device that can determine the extent to which the experience of the abuse has affected our lives. Abuse can come as sexual, emotional/mental, physical and spiritual abuse. Sexual childhood abuse seems to carry the deepest scars but truly there is no way to measure.While we mention what happened to us, we don't dwell there. We talk about what we have done and what we are currently doing to be well adjusted, happy and productive. We've done our healing work and as we began to heal, that seeped out to our families, our communities, our countries and our world. We also know that it takes constant attention to our thoughts and feelings as there can be triggers of memory that can threaten to derail our efforts.Abuse is abuse no matter what kind, and there is no measuring device that can predict the impact it has on the victim, no matter how significant or insignificant the abuse may seem. Leaving the sadness and pain aside, our message, the recurring theme of this book is to share that you too can thrive. It begins with a decision, a choice and the courage to SPEAK UP, STAND UP, FIND YOUR TRUTH, and COMMAND YOUR OWN INNER POWER.
