Wandering

...a long way past the past

It was the late 1970s … a time when mobiles, the internet, and more modern modes of touring were non-existent. It was a time when best-selling author Sharon Kreider embarked on her three-year solo adventure from her remote hometown in Canada to Asia.

Through her eyes, her experiences, and her delicious words, you will discover:

  • Majestic Nepal before the rest of the world did.
  • The colors of India and rivers of love that flow through it.
  • Goa and the most beautiful beach in the world.
  • How the Middle East evoked questions: What am I doing? Where am I going? Who am I?

Sylvie is a poignant women’s fiction novel examining a family’s love for one another, acceptance, and letting go. Set in the Colorado mountains, it reveals the secrets and lies surrounding what appears to be a perfect family. Exploring the delicate threads binding family together, we learn how an unexpected tragedy can unravel everything and how they find hope, inspiration, and forgiveness to continue.

An important and sadly relevant story about a loving family forced to accept and forgive the results of a young girl’s repeated social rejection, Sylvie is a must-read for grief groups, parents, and educators; providing useful, understandable insight for parents and siblings of family members suffering consequences of coping with unexpressed trauma.

Learning the Hard Way

Most, if not all, of us have made mistakes. Although we know that slipups are necessary building blocks to knowledge, it doesn’t make it any easier. What’s that saying? The harder the lesson, the deeper the learning. Hmmm. I think that’s true. I’ve had many hard lessons. Some are funny, some embarrassing, and some I’d rather forget. One that I’m

Just a Good Thought

According to research, the average person has approximately 12,000 – 60,000 thoughts daily. 80% of thinking is attributed to negative thoughts driven by the fight-or-flight pattern of the brain, and 95% of those thoughts are repetitive. Doesn’t that make the saying about repeating oneself “like a broken record,” “beating the dead horse,” “washing the same dirty laundry,” or “like a
