From the Author
Since I was a young child I was always curious about life. What was my purpose? Why was there war? How did we come to be on this planet? Why Struggle? was born out a desire for me to really find my purpose and what I was supposed to do while I here on this earth. After many years of studying and trying to find that "one" thing we've been told each person is supposed to do while here, I was totally frustrated. I slowly began to be quiet and then I started to meditate on a consistent basis. Even in my meditations and quiet time, my focus was, "what am I supposed to do." Then one day, it was very clear. In the stillness of my morning quiet time I realized that I was supposed to live each day to the fullest. That day could be filled with joy or sadness, but my purpose was to be glad I was alive.
Living each day with all of its emotions was what I began to do. I began to realize how much time and energy I spent on trying to narrow things down to that "one" thing. There are so many things I enjoy; I couldn't narrow living down to one specific thing for the rest of my life. All of my experiences over the years had led me to this point. I was finally where I was at peace with myself. I am comfortable with the skin I'm in. And it feels wonderful!
My book is filled with thoughts, principles, ideas or musings on life. On how we can try to enjoy the moment, adopt children, be grateful, have less stress and live more in the present moment. I hope you find something you can use from my experiences. And I hope you will share what you learn with others. Because that's what it's all about... sharing and truly living our lives with PASSION and NO REGRETS! Enjoy the journey.
Living is my Passion! I believe we are here to Live, Love, Learn, Grow, and Share.

This review is from: Why Struggle?; Life is Too Short to Wear Tight Shoes (Paperback)
An extremely short read that packs a lot of punch. Why Struggle is a book that is small enough to keep in your purse or back pocket and carry around each and every day. The text is easy to read and easy to comprehend and forces you to take a critical look at yourself in bite sized pieces. Ms. Faison touches upon the most important parts of the human psyche: To Live, To Love, To Learn, To Grow and To Share. Each page has an exercise to perform that helps the reader reach further into themselves to discover more about what makes them a better person in society.There were several "ah ha" moments in this books for me, things that I just hadn't thought about in that way the information is presented. Naturally curious as I am, this only makes me want to share this book with friends. I liken the discovery of the action filled book with a beautifully wrapped present that one can't wait to open. An Example that I found to be pertinent to my life is the affirmation "I speak with power and Purpose". Sometimes its necessary to be quiet. To quote from this book: There are many times no response is required. Be cautious with your words and save your comments for those who will value what you say. The exercise: Give your next conversation your undivided attention. Turn your body to the person, look them in the eyes and open your ears to their words. Pause for 3 seconds before responding. If a response in not required, say nothing. For a person who is always eager to share an opinion, whether solicited or not, this is pertinent to my life and something that I will carry forth with me. This book is filled with epitaphs that are compact enough to be retained indefinitely. Take this book with you, in your mind or on your physical person, you can't go wrong with it. A perfect gift for those in your circle of friends.

President, Team 2 LEarn, inc,
This review is from: Why Struggle?; Life is Too Short to Wear Tight Shoes (Paperback)
I heard her speak and bought her book. She lives what she has written. Barbara has captured in a simple and straight forward manner, the how to "BE" your own person. This book is a quick read, but once read, it becomes a constant source for those "..tight shoes moments" we all have. I keep my copy on my desk and when I feel hassled or stressed out. I open my book and have a reality check with Barbara's "right on target" comments. After that, I do one of Barbara's thinking and action exercises. I find my attitude shifts back to "being Me" and I get right out of those "tight shoes." Barbara, thanks for your help. When's your next book coming out?
