    About this ebook

    This book is my story and journey from dealing with many things in life we sometimes don't like to speak on but live with, this is my transition from strife to triumph. Although I am still a work in progress I am loving the growth of who I am becoming, learning to not let life not break me but make me stronger and wiser. I hope that this book can too help others whom may have possibly gone through similar issues or if they just need some motivation to dust yourself off and readjust your crown.

    Author

    Ashley Simmons

    Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Ashley Simmons spent her early years reading such classics as "To Kill A Mockingbird", "Jane Eyre" and "Little Women". During high school, an English teacher gave her a copy of "The Hobbit" and she was forever hooked on fantasy. "When people tell me they would love to write, I tell them to write what they love. I love fantasy. Some of the greatest literature of the 20th century is hidden within this genre and it is sorely overlooked by the mainstream public. Stepping into an imaginative world and seeing the main characters struggling to deal with issues as typical as jealousy, betrayal, or shattered love-lives allows readers to get a different perspective on their own problems. Though the worlds I write about are vastly different from ours, I try to keep them as real as possible." Ashley currently resides in Utah with her husband, five dogs, and four Friesian horses.

      Rewriting the Story of Your Life

      Apr 8, 2024

      I once heard John Irving describe how he came up with his novels this way: “I think of a character I love and then imagine the worst thing that could happen to them.” This is a pretty good description of any story, which is always going to be driven

      What I Wish you Knew About Grief

      Apr 4, 2021

      Grief can also be a time of joy. Dad had Alzheimer’s and was deteriorating. In his last year he was 80 years old, but felt more like a teenager. He had an overwhelming love affair with my mum – he would call her “my queen” and serenade her and stare

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Don Don

      Thank you for choosing me

      When I felt like I was losing me

      You gave me sight of things I was refusing to see

      You choosing me is helping me to be who I’m supposed to be

      Becoming your mom was what I was meant to be, you have given me such a purpose that is adding to me like a surplus

      I look at you and it’s my drive to thrive, because of you I

      have arrived, before it was that I had only survived and felt deprived

      I see your smile and and it drives me wild I feel so alive

      I will always put you first even when I’m at my worst

      Star Player

      When you met me you were building your line up

      I was never your star player though, I never stuck out showing great potential

      She became the MVP from the start and even when I showed potential it didn’t matter she was already the star player, the rest of us didn’t stand chance

      We all tried tirelessly tried to show
