Welcome to the Read this When...:Empowering Messages for Powerless Moments and Find Yourself Here: Musings on the Meanings in Existence two-book set. We hope you find these messages uplifting and inspiring for your daily life. May you find much to ponder and restored optimism as you listen.

From Book 1:

Powerless moments can feel overwhelming. These moments hurt. We often react to them by experiencing even more emotions: despair, frustration, anger, hopelessness.... Sound familiar?

I noticed that when I'm experiencing one of those moments, writing a message to myself helps me feel more empowered. Sometimes the message is a prayer to my higher wisdom, or a poem, or a series of affirmations.

After a while of doing this, I had a little collection of them. So, I started putting them into categories organized by what powerless feeling I was trying to change by writing that particular message. I realized that the writings were becoming something cohesive; a little guide to choose an empowering message based on the situation I was facing in the moment.

I hope that when you're feeling powerless, or any of the unpleasant emotions that often follow, that you'll listen to this audiobook, identify how you feel, and hear something that speaks to you in such a way that your powerless feeling is replaced by something better.

From Book 2:

You were never lost. But, if you feel lost, listen to this audiobook to help you reconnect with your true essence, purpose, and the rich meaning in this experience called life.

Use this audiobook when you feel disconnected. It will remind you that there's something bigger than what's on the news. There's more to life than chores, bills, work, and worries. So much more.

Let the words gently guide you back to a place of knowing who you are and why you're alive.

You were never lost. Find yourself here.
