    About this ebook

    Sing Your Song! Heed the Call for Courage

     

    Feeling discouraged, bullied, sabotaged or held back?

     

    Part moral allegory and part spiritual biography, I Have to Grow is a timeless charm which tells the story of a young girl who leaves the security of playing small, to follow her heart and heal the world.

     

    Little Hannah, is a beautiful and kind-hearted child, with a very special voice. When the cruel and jealous Angie tries to rob Little Hannah of her gifts she believes the answer is to stay small. But, things go from bad to worse.

     

    Bullied and taunted Little Hannah doesn't stand much of a chance. Until a magical creature appears and encourages her to stand tall and shine like a star.

    Liberate the music you have inside. Share your voice.

     

    Life is about learning to follow your inner voice, live your truth and share your gifts. It is also about reclaiming your power, not hanging back, playing second best and being discouraged.

     

    Find and cherish your unique abilities and raise your voice to the heavens.

    Reconnect with your magnificent soul self and don't allow self-doubt or the envy of others to hold you back—you will reach your potential.

     

    There are so many reasons why you should follow your dreams. If you need some inspiration, look no further than this book.

     

    Be inspired by this journey to transformation and self-acceptance, and self-belief as our heroine learns to overcome the vagaries of child and adult behaviour. Her personal odyssey culminates in a voyage of self-belief, passion, and purpose.

     

    From the best-selling author of Mid-Life Career Rescue, Stress Less, How to Find Your Passion and Purpose, and The Little Princess: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about boosting resilience, overcoming obstacles, finding courage and moving forward after life's inevitable setbacks.

    Find out who and what is sabotaging your success. Find and follow your passion and purpose faster.

     

    Bonus: Excerpt from The Little Princess

     

    "It's wonderful. And my heart ached."

     

    "A little book with a powerful message. An important reminder to always be true to yourself and summon the courage to follow your passions... Only you can live your life..."

      Foreword

      Following on from her success with The Little Princess, Cassandra gives us another beautiful book. Although small it holds a huge message of believing in ourselves.

      So many of my clients suffer from self-doubt, stuck in their childhood messages where their light and magnificence was stunned by the words and/or actions of others, who were themselves suffering from damaging messages.

      This beautiful book reminds us to believe in ourselves and while that is often too big for us to attempt, it reminds us that enlisting in the help of a trusting ‘other’ can be transformative. Seeking help can come in the form of a trusted friend; a focused group or a good therapist. Working on our childhood wounds allows us to step into our full power and enables us to live the life we were born to love.

      ~ Catherine Sloan, Intuitive Therapist

      "Little Hannah is my hero…

      Courage is more than just standing up for yourself or doing hard things—it’s doing so with compassion. Little Hannah is courageous, compassionate, talented and inspiring!

      This book is the kind that can spark a transformation because the reader can see themselves within the story. I am ordering several copies for friends of various ages
