Book Cover & Preview Text
I was a part of the rat race, I felt like I was running on a hamster wheel daily. Chasing a metaphorical dangling piece of “cheese”. “Cheese”, that I knew in my spirit, I'd never get while on the wheel, and I hated it! The questions that now popped into my brain were, what am I going to do about it? How many other people felt this way? How had they, my fellow commuters, resolved to continue on with what felt like an endless race. How did my rat race companions, simply settle with this never ending race as their reality, their final destination? Was I the only one that felt like I’d just had my blindfold removed, and was then tossed into a sunny room? Am I just going to settle with being unhappy every single day? Is this what it means to be and adult, to be “normal”? I was told it was, but each time those words were uttered to me, something deep within me, just wouldn’t except it. My gut, just wouldn’t align with the thought. I then remembered a quote that I saw by Ellen Goodman. “Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.” Insert, loud, obnoxious sigh RIGHT HERE! I was this person.
