Colleen’s 2018 #Book #Reviews – “Words We Carry,” by Author, D. G. Kaye – Colleen Chesebro ~ The Fairy Whisperer

  Today I’m sharing a most wonderful review I came across from Colleen Chesebro – The Fairy Whisperer, on my book – Words We Carry. What touches me as an author is not only a wonderful review, but when the reader can absorb the messages in my stories and find them relatable.   Colleen’s 2018 #Book #Reviews – “Words We Carry,” by Author, D. G. Kaye   Title: Words We Carry: Essays of Obsession & Self-Esteem Amazon Author Page: D. G. Kaye Publication Date: October 20, 2014 Formats: Paperback & Kindle Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Spirituality, Personal Growth, Women’s Personal Growth, Biographies & Memoirs, Women, Spiritual Healing Goodreads IN THE AUTHOR’S WORDS: “I have been a great critic of myself for most of my life, and I was darned good at it, deflating my own ego without the help of anyone else.” What do our shopping habits, high-heeled shoes, and big hair have to do with how we perceive ourselves? Do the slights we endured when we were young affect how we choose our relationships now? D.G. takes us on a journey, unlocking the hurts of the past by identifying situations that hindered her own self-esteem. Her anecdotes and confessions demonstrate how the hurtful events in our lives linger and set the tone for how we value our own self-worth. Words We Carry is a raw, personal accounting of how the author overcame the demons of low self-esteem with the determination to learn to love herself.   MY RECOMMENDATION: I purchased this book months ago, and for whatever reason, let it languish in the dusty corners of my Kindle. What a mistake! My eyes have been opened… D. G. Kaye bares her soul by sharing some of the experiences she endured as a child and onward into her adult years, at the hands of a narcissistic mother. It’s all there, in excruciating detail, the shaming and the harmful words used to inflict pain resulting in the author’s low self-esteem. She says: “Many factors contribute to the complexities we experience throughout our lives, all of which aid in shaping our self-perception. We tend to carry baggage from our wounded egos—from the slights, injustices, and teasing of our pasts—which, when harbored internally, can fester into a damaged soul.” Kaye, D.G.. Words We Carry: Essays of Obsession and Self-Esteem (p. 1). D. G. Kaye. Kindle Edition. Needless to say, I can relate to her experiences from my own upbringing. I immediately felt an empathetic connection to the author as a person, and that is where this author excels in her writing. By sharing her experiences, she appears to have found the formula for how to deal with her own issues head on! Words We Carry is jam-packed full of sound “girlfriend” advice for those of us who are ready to change our perceptions. In fact, D. G. Kaye suggests that we learn to “become uplifted and inspired by positive people instead of clinging to negative people who will suck us dry of energy and, in the process, take us down with them.” . . .
