With Good Reasons: My Heartfelt Journey: From Co-dependency to a Self-Nurturing Life - Paperback

by Marcia H. Winters (Author)

What is love? I thought I knew.

My husband, Lee and I once shared a devotion to peace and environmentalism, but these commonalities only offered a modicum of stability. Our marriage eventually became a fragile truce, then a battle for respect. I was forced to fight for my separate identity. Our relationship reopened emotional wounds from the past. Looking for love outside myself resembled a trap. Love had to come from within.

In this creative memoir, I reflect on both tender and painful scenes as I attempted to heal and change the trajectory of my life. Deciphering what growth is possible within my many relationships pushed me to consider what I would actually be willing to accept.

I explored various avenues of self-healing and took many errant steps on this journey of learning to love myself.

Surprises abound in my true story: some transformative, and others tragic. I invite you to join me in observing the healing beauty of nature, experiencing the miraculous, and uncovering some of the sad truths that we often blindly participate in. After all, opening our eyes to realities gives us the knowledge to make better choices.
