The Story You Need To Tell is a wonderful read for anyone dealing with trauma or issues in their life that just won't let them move forward. By using her own story and the inspirational stories of others, Sandra Marinella conveys the power of writing down your stories and releasing them from having such a grip on your spirit. She explains things like sometimes you need distance from the event to make sense of it. Sometime you need to change your perspective or look at it from a different angle to get to the core of its hold on you. It's an easy read and offers the reader guidance and tools by which to declutter the mind so they you can breathe in fresh ideas and exhale hope into a life that seemed stuck in time.
Darkness will not leave the soul on its own accord, you have to force it out. We all have things that happen to us that can take a hold on us even to the point of paralysis, if we allow it to. Putting pen to paper is a proven way of helping you deal with whatever pain or trauma you lived through. Writing is a way to organize your feelings and a way to help view your life at a distance. This book can help anyone on that path.
I was fortunate to attend one of Ms. Marinella's workshops on Zoom. It' s not always easy to feel personally involved when you are in a Zoom meeting, but Ms. Marinella has an easy going personality that allows participants to feel comfortable even to the point of sharing their stories. In a class of about 12 women I felt privileged to listen to the stories they wrote and I felt comfortable in sharing my own. Whether you journal, just jot down notes on random pieces of paper or create other artistic narratives, these workshops are inspirational and sharing with like-minded women is a powerful endeavor all by itself.
