She says she knew I was stubborn when she first laid eyes on me. Ever since then I've been "stubborn" and until recently, I believed it. I wore stubborn like a badge. Now I know stubborn means courageous and brave. Qualities people who don't possess get angry at you for possessing, so they keep you small for as long as possible. Or so they think. Diamonds don't become so beautiful without a lot of pressure, as cliche as it sounds, that is true! Laurie is or was or should be my mother, she is the woman who gave birth to me and raised me. I can't say she did a the best job, she didn't do a horrible job, although in her eyes this is probably not how she wanted me to turn out, it's my path, and I can say I am proud of the way I turned out. So she did good even though her way of thinking is backwards from mine and she will never see it. At least unless she decides to heal. But let's not hold our breath or stop our lives from happening because they want us to become them. My name is Lanie, and I was born into a broken family to break the generational curse. That's why my family does not like me. I came to put an end to all of thier ingrained emotionally and physically abusive ways. Who would like that? But I hope someday they will. Or my job wouldn't be done here on earth. You see, I am a starseed, a light worker, a pure soul who ismply cares about the greater good. So why keep atta king us for trying to help? For simply following our true path? Just because you don't want to follow yours. It's not fair. There is more evil than good as it stands here on earth and the fight is harder the more people don't pitch in, the ones who say we are lazy and point the finger at us, when we are doing the real work, the important work, the emotional healing, we transmute your pain then you pile on more of it, punish us for our blessings and gifts. Stop this please. You are living a lie and it's not even your fault. We are all programmed. This book is your deprogramming. Continue reading to see how it all started, and to learn from my stories and lessons, because when it comes down to it, if we aren't teaching others what we have learned, we aren't helping as much as we can. And I want to learn and help as much as I can. That's why I've written this for you!
