Hey Everyone,

My Living Delicious friend Helena-Summer Medena of Hawaii, USA wrote this on her wall the other day:

“If you understand that you and every other thing in the Universe are connected, then you must also know that you’re not just living your life. You affect the whole universe with everything you do and you have no idea whether your affect is big or small.

… and the way we relate with each other makes a huge (and unique) impact…

We are connected, look at Facebook, how crazy it is that people who would probably never meet otherwise have meaningful conversation, right here on this wall. And THAT is the impact I am talking about!”

I feel connected when I’m on Facebook and have made some very meaningful connections there, another one of which is with a novelist by the name of Rebecca Easton from Dallas Texas, USA.

Here are some thoughts from Rebecca Easton:

“My passion for writing is the product of my desire to engulf every human into a tale so powerful that it brings joy, sorrow and emotions so fraught with empathy that once my book is laid upon a nightstand the reader is left dreaming about the story.”

The Trophy Abyss by Rebecca Easton is the first book of a trilogy, and is the story about the main character Beverly White’s fierce determination to overcome her fear of rejection and build her life on her talents and gifts.

Here’s an excerpt …

Surviving is not being confident, brave or courageous. It is when you’re at your worst, when life happened to deal you a very emotionally raw hand. No matter what you do or think, none of your intellectual thoughts or physical strength can change what happened. Being a survivor is being able to pick yourself up at those times when it would be easier to die than breathe again. It’s being able to stand and face the world for the first time after your heart has been so damaged. It’s learning to forgive others and yourself. Survival is the desire deep within us to just be alive all the while keeping in hope that the pain will soon end.

Rebecca Easton says, “It’s really a novel about finding inner hope, and struggling to find value in yourself despite that it’s easier to believe the hyper-criticism that comes from being raised in a world filled with rage and un-forgiveness.”

Surrender, the next novel in this series picks up where The Trophy Abyss leaves off. This story is an explosive narration of what had happened in Beverly’s life when she was a small girl to leave her so fearful.

Rebecca Easton says, “Surrender is really about what true forgiveness is. You cannot experience what I have and look those people in the eyes with love in your heart without understanding that only real forgiveness can give you that gift.”

… and she goes on to say …

“It’s a heart warming story about coming to terms with the choices you’ve made in life and how those choices can affect your whole life. It’s about forgiving others, but this novel is really about learning how to forgive yourself and that is an action you’ll probably have to do many times in your life.”

A love of the craft of using words to express a powerfully dramatic event, situation or moment in time, is evident in the writings of Rebecca Easton.

Although I’ve never met either of these women, I’m so proud to call Helena-Summer Medena of Hawaii, USA, and Rebecca Easton of Dallas, Texas, USA, my friends on Facebook!

They are both truly amazing, multi-talented women!

Cheers,

Fred.
