<p>Life is random and often fueled by coffee... Real life inspired. Life isn't always sunshine, rainbows, puppies and smiles. Actually more often than not, it can be downright dirty, unjust and unfair. Life can deal blow after blow and isn't always satisfied with just knocking one down, sometimes it needs to kick you a few times to drive its point home. We try to not take it personally, but there are times when it seems to keep slapping you in the face saying; “Nope, no happy for you today, or tomorrow or maybe even next week.” You look around and wonder, what did I do to bring this upon myself? When life is in turmoil and you are left wondering why? Random Thoughts n’ Lotsa Coffee is not your traditional self-help book. It holds no secret keys to happiness nor does it have all the answers to life and its problems. What this book contains is a series of musings based on the life experience of a woman from Maine. A woman who has seen both the darkest of days and the brightest of moments this life has to offer and one day decided to write about them. Covering such topics as being our own worst enemy, facing our past, letting go, facing our fears and more, Random Thoughts n’ Lotsa Coffee is written in such a no nonsense tone with straightforward and blunt advice. You will feel as if you sitting with her in a local coffee shop talking about your life. You will feel inspired. You will feel empowered. Random Thoughts n’ Lotsa Coffee will help you dig deep inside yourself for the strength to handle all that life throws at you.</p>

<p>Not one single soul in this world makes it through life unscathed. We all have scars, some you can see, some you can’t. We all have stories. Stories of perseverance. Stories of strength. Stories of our weakest moments. Stories of when we felt we would shatter from it all. Each of us have moments in life when the sheer magnitude of what we must face drove us to our knees and left us breathless. We didn't think we could get through it. We couldn't find our way through the darkness. Some days, we didn't even know if we wanted to. We lose our light. We lose our confidence. Our heart and soul feel broken. We lose all hope that we can make it through whatever it is we are facing. We do not believe we will ever feel happy or content again. We don’t trust the world. We don’t trust love. We don’t trust tomorrow. Most of all, we no longer trust ourselves. So we dig into our unhappiness, mistrust and brokenness. It becomes a safe haven for us. We are already hurt – so bring it on. Until that moment in time when a shimmer of light seeps through our defenses and we want to be better. We want to allow the light to flood back in to scatter the shadows and we desperately want to grasp ahold of the most elusive emotion of all – hope. Hope for healing. Hope for love. Hope for tomorrow. Hope that we will be ok. Hope that we will eventually find our happiness. Hope that our strength and perseverance will bring us through the darkness to the Other Side. We want to make it. We want to believe. We want to dig deep, square our shoulders and face what needs facing, deal with what needs dealing with, and once and for all walk away from the trauma with healed scars that tell our story. We came. We conquered. We healed. We made it to the Other Side of life. Where all the life lessons from our past are put to use for a brighter, happier future. Come with me on a journey through these pages and slowly you will see and believe in the possibility of getting through everything you are facing in life. You can do it. You can face it. You can make peace with it. You can heal from it. Then, when you are ready, you will move on from it. I wish I could hold the hand of everyone working through something, facing something or recovering from something and walk along beside them. But as I have learned, it is often a journey you must do alone. However, trust that you will always find guides to help you when you are ready. Thank you for allowing me to be one of those guides</p>

The Other Side: Where all the life lessons learned from your past are put to use for a brighter, happier future.
