People often tend to define themselves and their lives by their ability to serve those around them and make others happy. They are so desperate to please spouses, children, friends, co-workers, bosses, basically all those around them, that they fail to look out for someone who really holds the key to their happiness and harmony—themselves.

This crucial look into the mirror is the focus of Today I Choose Me: From Empty Nest to Full Throttle (J. Mosley Publishing), a series of six essays by women discussing the struggles and challenges they’ve faced, the choices they had to make (good and bad), and how they eventually came to the realization they have to look out for Number One above all else.

CHOOSING HOW TO “SHOW UP IN THE WORLD”
“During my more than 30 years of mentoring, coaching and helping others release self-limiting belief systems to achieve personal success and prosperity, I saw the impact of putting oneself last,” writes Dr. Lisa Lewis Ellis, who compiled the essays.

Ellis, in the book’s kickoff chapter, talks about the choices she had to make—and the life-altering decisions—after she was diagnosed with cancer. She describes how her choices would affect her faith, her finances and her freedom as she entered a fight for life at a different level.

“Occasionally, there are major crossroads like a cancer diagnosis that forced me to see my life differently,” writes Lewis. “This has been a time of reflection, purging and repurposing.”
