Book Description:
The city lights blind your amazement. The sound of the traffic challenges you to be alive. Families ask bystanders to make magic and capture the moment with photographs. Newly engaged couples seal their union by kissing under shooting stars while loving by crossing their hearts.
But if your heart was under arrest, wouldn't you want to embrace something to feel like others?
Go insider the world of one courageous sheep as she discovers that her heart was under attack by darkness. As she travels on a spiritual journey to understanding her purpose, overcoming the undertones of low confidence, self-acceptance, and the importance of inspiration, she rose against the odds with forgiveness and strengthening her faith.
You Are Me Poem
Your past does not define your future.
In the dark, we do not have shadows.
In the light, we do.
Even me.
Even you.
Even sheep.
It is time out for hiding the scars and pain.
It is time out for disguising when we need help.
It is time to stand up and embrace yourself.
Regardless of violence.
Regardless of opinions.
Regardless of loneliness.
Regardless of beauty.
You are who you are.
Your future is what you want it to be.
You have a shadow. You have an identity.
Even black sheep have shadows.
God’s sheep are only black because society locks us in a room with the
light off.
What’s going to make you determined
to turn the light on?
Here is my story.
The Inspiration Behind The Black Sheep Shadow
By Ashley Terrell, Author of The Black Sheep Shadow
The ideal
meaning of inspiration can have many definitions. Whether it is a pin for
Pinterest or a post for Instagram, we try to relate it to our lives. But does
it relate to our reality or our
persuasive potential?
As the
media crowd airwaves with the potent details of current events, correctional
surgery and fashion sales, the potential of who “we could” be is being
unsympathetically sold to millions. Many assume no one bright originates from
dark places as the “2’s” and “3’s” are primped by hair and makeup to soak in
the glam of [potentially] being the season’s newest star. Meanwhile, women
[living in reality] are battling with depression, life’s decisions and
insecurities - silently.
I wanted my
writing to be purposeful. I wanted to break barriers. I wanted to influence
awareness, prevention and testimony. I wanted to impact the younger generation
and empower older generations. I wanted
to write material readers of all ages were able to gain strength, explore their
courage, empower their inner soldier and share their testimony. We endure many
battles regarding our full dynamic. Consequently, our willingness to reach
happiness is paused. I envisioned
readers using The Black Sheep Shadow to
cultivate a platform to heighten awareness, support, encourage and motivate.
My
inspiration behind The Black Sheep Shadow
stemmed from determination to endure trenches, valleys and storms to define
my purpose. Every stumble and road block made me stronger. My strength inspired
me to express my [compressed] emotions. Infused with ambition and my outspoken
nature, I was inspired to write my story in light of overcoming and wanting to
bring awareness to millions of people that have been silenced by life’s
negativity.
The hardships and pain infused in The Black Sheep Shadow were a humble
sacrifice to aspire others to conquer their uncertainties and claim their
happiness. To feel alive everyday, you
must be able to feel as it is a part of the process. Wouldn’t get be great to
know you can feel everything without your heart under arrest?
