My Life, My History & the Poetry That Followed

Beschreibung

I have written this book with a heartfelt desire to uplift and inspire you. It is also my intention to share with others the profound impact that self-reflection can have on our lives, and how it can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves. You see, self-reflection serves as a valuable tool on our journey of life in which our choices and there outcomes work in tandem to build and mature our minds so that we may embrace, understand, and know how to apply the wisdom found within the lesson when reflecting back over our lives. Moreover, this level of maturity can only be attained when we are first willing to be honest with ourselves. See, in our moments of reflection, it is crucial that we approach our past mistakes with candor, while at the same time maintaining a positive mindset so that our purpose of reflecting will not be consumed by our guilts and shames but rather by the knowledge and understanding found within them. When we allow negativity to dominate our thoughts during the process of self-reflection it can hinder our progress and render us unproductive. We must recognize that an idle mind is a breeding ground for destructive forces and oftentimes, we find ourselves in this idle state because we succumb to the fear attached to those thoughts. Fear obstructs our ability to discern between guilt and shame, which originates from the evil one, while conviction, which is a divine call from the Lord.

Autor

My name is Shalena Ojei, and I'm a first-time author, but you can also call me Nova, Black, Pinkey, or Starr because I have worn many names, and each one tells a part of my story. I've been married to my husband, Sunday Ojei, for 7 years, soon to be 8, and we've built a life together in faith and love. We have a son, Tre' Viun Turner, who just turned 18, and let me tell you, he's the Air that I breathe, the very essence of my soul.For 14 years, I've worked in the field of pharmacy, but when my son hit 18, something stirred within my spirit, and I felt as though I was called to do something more, something different. So, in 2024, I stepped into the world of engineering, and alongside of that, I also became a Lyft driver. It was in that very car, during those precious moments of speaking with passengers, that I recognized where my true purpose lies. As I listened to their stories, their pain, their joy, and their struggles, something within me connected me to every single one of them. It was as if I was looking at my own reflection in the mirror because I saw pieces of myself within each one of them. It was from that very moment I knew it was time to take our pain and turn it into purpose by writing this book to help others understand how self-reflection can change their lives for the better.
