Groundlessness


Book Description

Pain is a sign that something is wrong, signaling there is a larger concern that requires attention. Acknowledging and deciding to trace the source of the pain is not an easy process. However, it is imperative to dig deep to find the source of the pain. Not often do we view examining pain as a positive opportunity. Usually, in that moment, the pain is so uncomfortable that we desire instead to find a way to make it quickly go away and hope the underlying concern magically disappears as well. When the ground is quickly pulled from underneath you, and you are challenged to find your footing, an opportunity of a lifetime lies on the other side of unpacking the pain. When emotional pain hits, there is an instinctive decision to fight or retreat. Dr. Rashanda R. Booker decided to fight! In this transparent and raw story, she takes us along her personal journey from pain to peace and shares her triumph of becoming healed, whole, and full of peace.
