Soul Fire, Choose to Live is a systematic look at healing oneself through the journey of the author, Sarah Kelly. You will feel like the author is speaking directly to you, with her conversational style and authentic nature. She is someone who has been through hard things, like the death of her parents, her husband's multiple strokes before the age of 40, and an intense battle with Covid. If you're ready to stop circling the drain of your life, and break the cycle, this book is for you. When the tsunami in life shows up, it doesn't knock gently. Our reaction to it must have equal energy behind it in order to withstand that storm. My storm was so big and so all-encompassing that I would've drowned in an instant if I didn't put all my energy at the good in the world. I built my life raft so I could cling onto something and ride those gigantic waves. There was no denying the storm. I built myself a new vessel to come out on top. I don't have a magic roadmap. My story is one of overcoming adversity, finding my own Soul Fire, and learning how to heal. It has been a delicate balance of yin and yang, dark and light. I warn you; the journey isn't always pretty. Growth is not always comfortable. Growth can be messy and painful. It has been through searching through my own private rubbish bin that I have been able to be free, one breath at a time. You deserve to follow your dreams. You deserve to believe in the beauty of the world and that there is more good out there than bad. You deserve love. We all do. You are here for a reason. You deserve to fulfill on the quiet dreams you keep in the recesses of your soul. Give yourself permission to be brave. I promise that it's worth it. Soul Fire is about human resilience, love, and overcoming. It's about believing in yourself and digging deep into your heart to find the strength to heal.The author reveals her hardest moments in order to illuminate the reader's path to healing.
