"I don't have to stutter anymore."These words came to me after hearing a powerful statement at a conference. "The mind controls the body. What I think about I bring about." Even though I didn't really understand what those words meant, I believed them and knew they would bring change to my life. Little did I know to what extent. I had stuttered for almost 50 years before I heard the information that would change my life; the words kept ringing in my ears, and I believe my story can help you. I began a journey that was first focused on fluency, then changed to self-acceptance along the way. It is a journey that continues today, and I share with you some ideas that have opened my mind and heart along the way. I hope my experience will let you realize how truly awesome you are!Some topics I cover include: FluencySelf-acceptanceThoughtsFearsFeelingsSelf-esteemSelf-imageA life-long journey of forgivenessHaving an attitude of gratitudeSeeing stuttering as a giftLoving your body and spiritualityAnd...what it's really all about (hint: it's not about stuttering)My wish for you is that you wake every morning happy to be alive. May you realize how amazing you are just the way you are.We are so much more than people who stutter.Expect the best because you are the best, and are worthy of it.We are so persistent.We wake up every day of our lives, with courage to face another day, whether we stutter or not.For almost 55 years, I spent a lot of evenings sitting on the couch watching TV, scared to join Toastmasters or other groups, because I stuttered. And now I earn my living by speaking. I invite you to know that you can do whatever you want to do when you take the risks, when you love yourself, when you ask for what you want, and when you know that you are a powerful, loving, human being. It takes time and energy and perseverance to change our belief systems, and to realize the truth about who we are... and it is worth every single minute. May your life be the amazing life it can be.
