About the Author
 
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Reviews
“An uplifting book about some very painful events. Posusta has the gift of using her own experiences and vulnerabilities to help others get through theirs. She is not afraid to tackle some painful true stories head on, helping us realize we are not alone.” – Dr. Veronica Burford
Some friends also involved in a program supported me, saying that a side effect of reading these pages had occurred for them - doors seemed to open for them now and they let in the strength which faith allows. They were surprised at their transformation. I got so encouraged.
My intent is to exegete brightness where faith has dimmed, as I had been enlightened. As the book revealed itself to me, I realized my subliminal thinking had altered as did my friend’s. My burdens no longer lead me through my week; instead I get to do what God wants me to do.
Mostly, my life had been a series of events that happened TO me and emanated in unhappiness. As I repeated my experience to others, they contemplated joining me in my journey, through my recantation of the principles of the Twelve Steps.
Author’s Message
“Come with me where dreams are born, and time is never planned.”
- Peter Pan
An author can only hope that the sense of their story dialogues with one other person. The story line here may light up your brain. My history and facts have been romantic but hugely flawed. I pray (and you will see why I say, ‘pray’) that the dialogue you and I achieve builds your character as it has mine. And I am not done yet. Much scientific research and review of academic data crystalized into this book. Then I added the stories of about 10,000 peoples’ experiences. Forgive my tropes, and word creations, but they seem to get the message across.
What follows are the excerpts from my life that helped me to mature after fifty years of living in Cope. Which I now label painfully, in recollection, “The Winter of My Discontent”.
I do not begin to think that I can school any other person! My writing is like a philosophical recounting of my experiences. Since I was not on the straight and narrow myself and unhappy and unfulfilled, I thought sharing my experience, strength and hope might be meaningful in someone else’s state of unmanageability and unhappiness; to the eventual solution of goodness and peace.
Y/Our Life Needs Work - One Introspection
Let’s begin with a transformational thought:
“Higher Power and Inner Spirit, allow me to fully gain harmony in my world by creating my own peace. Help me to create balance by moving away from negative influences and purify my thoughts and communication. Whatever changes are necessary, I want to seek and nurture my knowledge and wisdom. Help me to have inner healing in my ideas and the aspects of my l
