For all my brothers and sisters whose hearts have been broken: Take back your power. Write 12.5 pages every day with full awareness of the present. For 16 days. 200 pages. I imposed this tour de force on myself after my life seemed to be over. My heart was so broken that I trusted no one and was completely cut off from myself and the world. For 16 days, I walked into the storm, right into my trauma, into the anger, the fear, the pain, and the crazy search for a way out. I wished for death, and life answered me. I learned how to heal myself. I learned that it is important to see myself so that I can be seen by others. It is a book about the fascinating power of self-healing, which lies beyond our control and will.
