Ask questions, post thoughts, talk with others who might be also be reeling from affliction or on their own journey of self discovery. "As I courageously sat down to write my story, I did so with blurred vision and a keyboard drenched from all the tears. As I wept and wrote, it was with the sincere hope that my story would one day help someone else. I wrote honestly--sometimes to my detriment--but inside are more truths and revelations than I thought would be revealed. May my words help those in affliction, beyond affliction, or without affliction. This is a story for everyone." x Ariana Carruth In an age where so many secret stories are demanding to be told, the author fearlessly takes us into her broken heart in hopes of buoying others in their own afflictions. As her life is split open early, repeatedly and even savagely from threats to babies born and unborn, to a daughter’s health and longevity, and to a husband’s fidelity, she discovers the gifts that lay hidden within each. Freed from her afflictions, she finds a path to authentic living. Clearing a fiercely unconventional path to her own heart's desires, she also finds a new life as a Jew with a conversion to Judaism. Love for Our Afflictions does more than advise making lemonade out of lemons. It wakes us up to challenge an old, unchallenged belief--that afflictions are to be dreaded and feared-- and shows us how we can instead find love for our afflictions.
