Heartbreaking are the statistics regarding Domestic Violence and Partner Abuse. Every single day in the US alone more than three women lose their lives at the hand of their husbands or boyfriends; every nine seconds around the world a woman is beaten. Love is not supposed to hurt; but sometimes it does and sometimes it kills. Amber almost became apart of that statistic, but instead made the decision she didn't have to be a victim anymore, and set out on a journey of Body, Mind, and Spirit that inspired tremendous spiritual and personal growth. In this powerful Anthology, eight brave women courageously share their stories of triumph. Amber's contribution is her real and raw account of surviving rape and a 13-year abusive relationship that almost turned fatal. Believing that in order to achieve true enlightenment you must be willing to get naked with yourself, Amber's story directs you to be willing to truly look at yourself both literally and metaphorically; to be able to hold your own gaze in the mirror regardless of how scary that may seem. Once you learn to accept yourself and realize that true beauty lies in your imperfection and you are not your past, then real transformation can occur. It took many years, filled with an overwhelming amount of pain, before Amber discovered that once you begin to consciously design the life you desire, you have the ability to manifest miracles, creating a momentum that can literally transform every aspect of your life. This book is for: Any woman who has been raped, molested, abused, told she is worthless, or found herself broken and battered by the words and deeds of others. The woman who is scared to leave her relationship, but knows that on the other side of fear, true love really does exist and can happen to her. The woman who fears that she is too damaged to have the life she truly desires and deserves. Amber's story is proof that if you are willing to surrender - and believe that life can be beautiful, and that love does exit - you can have it all. If you have enjoyed "Learning to Listen" you will also be touched by the trials and triumphs of seven other contributors to this anthology... they are heart-warming life-journeys of women courageous enough to look inward and outside themselves to find a path filed with miracles, momentum and manifestation. ADVANCE PRAISE: A Stearns "Amber's story is at times raw and pain-filled; it is not pretty, but the miracle that came from her journey is one I believe many women should be able to experience. Her shift from Victim to Victor is compelling; her miracle - inspiring." Kristina Italic "Amber's story is so beautifully raw and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your voice and creating such a powerful message of courage, strength and confidence. "
