A collection of sermons and vignettes about life's events and how we cope with them. This collection is about the core of our values and what type of person that we want to be perceived. It is the very foundation of our belief system at work.

When Life Happens is based on the life experiences and life lessons of the author. In this ebook, several life challenges and solutions are addressed, but they are not affiliated with, nor are they endorsed by any medical professionals about this eBook. This eBook topics include Emotional Pain, Fear of Failure, Depression, Mental Abuse, Servitude, Toxic Workplaces, and Self-Doubt. These are all topics that the author is familiar with through experience. These are all discussed in this eBook, along with suggested solutions. At some point, life is going to happen because it happens to everyone at some point. When it does, you need to be prepared, that is what this eBook is offering, preparation and discussion. Just to emphasise the fact that this is not advice given by medical or psychiatric experts. The birth of the idea for this eBook came from a trip down memory lane in my own life. Looking back on all the challenges, failures, desperation and loss. Instances when life happened, but the hundred to zero part. Please don’t assume for one moment that this is just a random topic to me. Although, as mentioned in the “Note To The Reader”, I did use AI writing software to generate some of the content in this eBook. The more I proofread this content, the more I realized that among these methods to overcome life challenges, are some that have been rather elemental in my healing.

This book of poems was inspired from real life situations that I have experienced vicariously or directly. The experiences in this book help to answer the question: Why do we go through life's good and bad times? We go through these times to come out wiser and sronger.

Knowing how to walk in your purpose when all else seems to come against you. Having faith in the knowledge that God will bring you through if you stay obedient to His Word and follow His instructions.

Author Alivia Cahill learned that people are not merely reflections of their life experiences; they're reflections of their perceptions of, and reactions to, those life experiences. Henry David Thoreau said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." What's more, the response to what is seen can change life forever. This compilation of personal experiences illustrates how Alivia's unhealthy responses to a harsh environment shaped her life in many ways. Years of stewing quietly and bottling up negative emotions about life's adversities led to decades of self-abuse and devastating physical dis-ease. Fortunately, experiencing unconditional love and acquiring profound knowledge about the mind-body connection eventually led her on a path to wellness. Life Happens follows Alivia's agonizing journey of creating dis-ease and working towards healing, which sparks the motivation to make better choices in the face of hardship. The traumas described and lessons learned encourage a positive view of life's obstacles to be adopted to grow from them and allow them to positively shape the body, mind, and spirit so that wellness may be experienced, instead of simply dreamed about!

Nathalie Brisebois has lived through many difficult challenges, but has found a path to health and happiness. In Life Happens, she shares the story of her experiences battling multiple sclerosis. For years, living with remittent-recurrent multiple sclerosis dictated who she was and what she did. Brisebois describes her journey battling the many devastating physical and mental effects of this chronic, degenerative disease and the ways that it influenced her work, her family, and her entire being. But in Life Happens, she tells how she began looking for options and a way to heal herself, addressing alternatives such as nutrition, yoga, meditation, vegetarianism, and living a simple life. Filled with tips, suggestions, and ideas for living with and battling a chronic illness, Life Happens communicates a message of inspiration and hope, of looking for what you want in life, of never giving up, and of finding and being at peace with your life.

Life Happens-Enjoy the ride. Life Happens is full of impactful moments that shaped the life of one woman. She has experienced the loss of family, friends, and her own childhood memories. She will take you on a journey through her life experiences and share what she learned along the way. She shares her greatest joys and her struggles through her most traumatic experiences. There were times she felt God was over estimating how much she could handle, but she never lost her faith. She did stray away from God; there were times she even ran away, but deep down she always felt his presence in her life. You will get to know Tonya Strahan as you enjoy the ride-the ride she calls Life. She lived a life that was normal to her, but as she grew, she realized that life could be better. She learned that although struggles may come her way, how she reacted to it was the key to happiness. She has lived, experienced, and overcame with faith, hope, and love. She hopes her reflections, throughout her life, inspire and encourage you to press on and fight the good fight with faith and more self-love. Being misunderstood drove her to try harder, to be better for those around her until she realized it's not about them. It's not about how others perceive you or what they think about you. They can think you're a purple polka-dotted dinosaur, but it doesn't make you a purple polka-dotted dinosaur. She had to learn that the hard way, but in the end, she learned to love others where they are, but most importantly, to love herself. That is the key to learning how to enjoy the ride.
