THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SHOW. It's a CALL-IN SHOW 1-646-716-9645. A.L. Gorski, 18-year old author of the Amazon.com book "The Newfound Legacy" is stopping by this Friday, July 8th at 1:00 pm Paciifc, 4 pm Eastern, to share her compelling story of overcoming physical, verbal and sexual child abuse and losing her father and grandmother to cancer at an early age. I am thrilled to play a small part in encouraging her to share her story out into the world. Written at age 17, her book is a testament to her emotional and spiritual maturity, self discovery, forgiveness and healing. What a gift she gives others like her to embrace their courage and open up to talk about subjects that even adults find difficult to face and discuss. In her book, she writes from the place of raw vulnerability to young adult learning. Told in journal style, the book is at times difficult to read, but through her experiences, she is moved to share about the deep emotional places, that are seldom revealed or talked about. A.L. Gorski is wise beyond her years, is here to make a difference, to not be defined by the path of her past, but to speak out, to provide an opening to others to share their story, to end stigma, and show by example that you can not only be a survivor, but transmute pain into passion and purpose. I hope you will listen, and CALL IN to the show to ask her a question or share your own experiences about overcoming abuse or loss.
