God: Anchor in Faith
Anchoring in God provides stability, direction, and strength—our foundation when pain strikes and the first step toward true healing.
Trust and Honesty
Trust opens the door to healing; honesty lets the pain speak. Together, they create space for truth, vulnerability, and transformation.
Productivity and Self-improvement
Productivity restores momentum; self-improvement fuels growth. Small, intentional steps help rebuild identity, purpose, and confidence after pain and loss.
Relationships
Healing thrives in connection. Relationships offer reflection, support, and restoration—reminding us we’re not alone on the journey to wholeness.
Positivity
Positivity is a choice. Choosing hope shifts perspective, renews strength, and lights the path forward even in the midst of struggle.
Legacy and Repeat Ascending
Legacy is living with purpose, leaving light behind. Repeat ascending reminds us healing is ongoing—a sacred, upward journey where we grow, fall, rise again, and help others do the same.

The part that truly hit me was about forgiveness for the sake of moving on. I have an ex friend who really did me dirty and I've been very resentful for too long. I drafted a letter and sent it off and laid down the burden. Thank you for helping me to do that.
K. King
This book came right when I needed it. I plan to re-read this over and over. The message really counts!
