DETAILS ABOUT THE JOURNEY
Why is the topic so important?
What we do in our everyday experiences brings about important life lessons. We’re living inside the topic each day we inhale anew breathe. In These days and times, toxicity has settled in the environment. Just think about it: every day we wake up we’re on the battlefield fighting a war. And just feeling where there’s: good against evil; sons against fathers; daughters against mothers; nations against nations; drugs against diseases; and the list goes on and on.

Over three decades, Norstrom has unmasked the levels of relationships:
pain; abuse; emotions, diseases; work environments; trauma;
and its poison of unforgiveness. In the artistic world, it is those literary creations that demonstrate a measure of personal growth that magnifies those hurdles conquered - from darkness to survival, even her release from incarceration.
While growing and blossoming, she has maintained a healthier lifestyle . . . staying free of unhealthy relationships. Through her experiences, Norstrom has encountered a complete metamorphosis ─ releasing one identity for another. Living inside this transitional lifestyle she states, “I see myself as that long-blooming, rich flower waiting to attract those butterflies. It is there, I’ve come full circle having realized the dangerous effects of toxicity."
Truly, love can be blind. And with one lesson there’s always another . . . “Not everything that glitters is gold.”
#Journeys we all must take them. When you walk that path, they’ll remain a part of the past and educate you in so many ways. Through one of those encountered experiences, I’ve learned to listen to my mind and not the heart!
What lessons have you’ve learned through your journey? No need to share, just embrace it!

Book Excerpt
Not a Blueprint: It's the Shoe Prints That Matter
That was because they thought of me as a good girl. I’d found myself rationalizing why we should have a relationship. Yeah, I had known he was married, but he’d said he was separated . . . plus, he’d made my heart flutter. We’d meshed in so many ways. It’s all good; nothing wrong with just talking. I had enjoyed our conversations and being in his company. Those darn butterflies churning my stomach—like a booming presence. That was what kept me hanging in there; my stomach had been booming from way back.
