Sheila Ferguson

Hey there, I’m Sheila. Journey Back to Me is my first book.

I am a life-long learner. When I set out to write the story of Liza, it was my first creative attempt in decades. I had no idea how much there was to learn about writing. My first draft was completed in four months, Almost a year later, I was finally in a place where I felt I could wrap a ribbon and bow around the story.

Writing is as challenging as any company turnaround I did in my career. But, as Steven Pinker so eloquently wrote, "... a crisp sentence, an arresting metaphor, a witty aside, an elegant turn of phrase are among life's greatest pleasures." To read them is glorious, to author them is divine.

Here is the short description of Journey Back to Me, a story of self-discovery and victory over fear:

A car accident leaves Liza, a successful single mom, unconscious. Trapped inside her subconscious and hijacked by her imagination, Liza learns firsthand how her thinking shapes her life. Her thoughts carry her away to dangerous and mysterious places, each gifting a lesson of how fear influences her thoughts, beliefs and the fullness of love in her relationships.

Happiness, she discovers, is a function of her thinking.

During her journey Liza uncovers secrets to rid herself of the fear-based behaviors that are inconsistent with her true self. To her delight, breaking free from the shackles of fear is simpler than she ever dreamed. Happiness is just a thought away...with practice.

Consistent with the most recent research in brain science on fear and happiness, this imaginative tale gift wraps all the power of a groundbreaking self-help book into one rollercoaster of a story. Colorful, thought-provoking lessons stay with the reader long after finishing the last page. The book serves as an ongoing resource for those interested in the art of intentional living.

I hope you enjoy it!
