My name is Tiffany Nicole, and for the last 10 years I've been growing through an anxiety disorder. What started off as something that was incredibly debilitating became the source of much of my strength. This book is my journey through healing. A compilation of many words, thoughts, and poems I've written to help encourage me, push me, motivate me, bring me closer to myself and God. It is my hope that in reading this you find yourself empowered from whatever your personal journey is presenting to you right now. God enables us all to dig deep into the depths of who we are to discover the power within - and emerge triumphant. I was told that I wouldn't be able to get off of that rollercoaster of emotions. That I was destined to live a life of constant instability. That I couldn't heal myself. And for many years I believed that to be true.Until one day, I decided differently.This book is a product of that decision.
