Book Excerpt

Not a Blueprint: It's the Shoe Prints That Matter

If you’re curious about how I managed to leave the toxic work environment, it was the actions of those inner voices. We’ve all heard them at one time or another — perhaps not as dangerous, though. I couldn’t help but listen. They were screaming to escape. To satisfy your curiosity, I shall briefly walk you through the unfolding of that day.

While I sat reading the daily emails on my computer, I began hearing the inner voices. I took the palm of my hand and tapped it against the side of my head. Still, their words lingered. No matter how much I tried to turn off the voices, they wouldn’t settle. They screamed out, “It’s time to kill, f*ck ’em; screw ’em all; first, kill the b*tch! Why are you still here? They didn’t care about you or your daughter. Kill ’em all, now!” I heard the voices echo inside my head. As my mind raced, I felt my pressure rising and my heart pounding. I continued to hear these eerie voices.
