Ladyhawk's Life takes Eva full circle from a life of hard knocks with a sociopath lover of twenty years to the simple life with only a few heartbreaks, booze-bottles, and health maladies in between.
This is a survivor's journey of love and loss, of self discovery, and a vow of the Buddha Dharma that changed her life forever.
Brilliant! Charming! Devastatingly Emo! With a slight touch of Crazy thrown in to the mix!
Meet 45 year old Chronic Singleton Eva.
Having been compared to a snarkier version of Phoebe from Friends, more sexually adventurous than Samantha Jones from Sex & The City, and considered the Real Bridget Jones by her Co-workers, life for Eva has been anything but easy.
Lost somewhere between a pinched nerve, stray bottles of the Strawberry effervescent flavored Boozewater called Boone's Farm collecting in the attic, serial dating Bad Boys, Stalkers, and Felons, while surviving life alone in a haunted house after two long term relationships go awry.
In real love stories, sometimes the heroine ends up having to be her own Knight in shining armor.
Eva continues on her journey of self discovery through Meditation, Yoga, nightly readings from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Victor Hugo's Les' Miserables, and some well timed Spiritual words from her Dying Father. She realizes that she has been living in her own version of a Pride and Prejudice Novel!
She finds herself again through the teachings of the Buddha Dharma.
Her bohemian style escapades kept her real life blog entitled "Ladyhawk's Life" on the Top Ten blogger list at Deardiary.net for over Eight years in a row.
Dubbed "The greatest chick read of all time!"
But if you're not careful, you'll fall in love with her yourself.
After all. What's not to love!
Ladyhawk's Life takes Eva full circle from a life of hard knox with a sociopathic lover of twenty years to the simple life with only a few heartbreaks, boozebottles, and health maladies in between.
This is a survivor's journey of love and loss, of self discovery, and a vow of the Buddha Dharma that changed her life forever.
We don't always end up in life where we want to be but somehow our lives turn out perfect for us just the same. Eva is a fun loving role model for gypsies and bohemians everywhere!
Excerpt
Daddy's Dying Words:
“Love isn't perfect and neither are the Two people involved in it. It isn't about making you or breaking you.
It is about learning to let go of yourself and all of the unnecessary stuff that you might bring with you into the relationship in the first place.
It is about learning to please the other person sometimes more than you please yourself. It is about going the extra mile, even when the last card has been played and the chips are down.
It is about telling the other person how you feel and letting them tell you how they feel in return.
It is about spending a lifetime making beautiful and happy memories together and not worrying about what has gone wrong between you or holding on to grudges just because you feel like your heart has been violated in some way.
It is about opening your heart to love the way it should be opened in a relationship."
Sherlyn Powell opens up about her love and devotion to her family and the overwhelming repercussion when communication breaks down. Heartbroken and distraught she learns to release her prayer and realize with faith God would reunite her family.
A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.
