Conversations with Myself

By Mary Lichtenberger

An intimate dialog to recognize and nurture the wisdom, inspiration and love within ourselves is the purpose of this conversation with myself.

An appreciation of the gift, possibilities, and promise of a new day. A journey within to find our inner resources, power, and source of contentment.

An opportunity to evaluate where have we been, how we get there and understand the new person that has emerged from those experiences. A closer look of the person we have become and how much we accept and love the person we are now.

An approach to understanding our free will, relationships, the power of choice and the present moment.

Mary Lichtenberger

In this, her first book, the author, inspired by her photography reflects in experiences that forced her to find resources within herself to overcome difficult moments. After identifying the feelings and emotions that had led her to a state of despair, she finds her way out through an uplifting mental dialog, prayer, affirmations, and inspiration. Inspired by her mother, nature, life and her cat, the author creates “talking points” to feed her mind and soul with affirmations that after continued repetition will be finally accepted as facts. A series of setup phrases that the mind can use to nurture the inner self and feel worthy, content, loved, happy, valuable. Images that the mind can use to refresh the soul in days when the load feels too heavy to be watching thoughts. The author opens herself and allows Life to embrace her, which lead her to joyful moments and communion with nature, its beauty, and the Divine. She reminds us this instant is the only moment that counts and that there is no need to wait until tomorrow to start living our best life.

To Maria Avendaño

Mom,

Thank you for giving me life and sharing your life with me.

Thank you for your love, your care, and giving yourself to me.

Watching you praying with such devotion, at the feet of the statue of

The Sacred Heart of Jesus at the Esclavitas Chapel

I learned about faith, devotion and trusting God.

I’ve just realized how much I have in me from you.

Your love for gardening, pets, and nature,

Your willingness to dive into your faith is as intense

As my diving into spirituality.

Thank you for having accepted my beliefs

Even when they were different from yours.

Thank you for having encouraged me to write

And let me free to live in my world of fantasy

Even though you sometimes said, "land Marita, land!

Realizing that it is from you where my strength comes from

Gives me infinite pride that I too,

was able to overcome and walkthrough

the darkest night of my soul and the biggest losses.

Loneliness, sadness, brokenhearted, pennilessness,

devastation, despair were not enough to break me.

Because I am your daughter,

I have in me who you are.

I have your values, your hope,

Your faith and determination.

You are a woman who never complained about
