Twelve: Untangling the Web of Disappointment We Didn't Weave (The Words We Live In)

You learned the word before you could spell it.Disappointment.It showed up early. In the silence after you asked for something you needed. In the look on someone's face when you weren't quite enough. It followed you into adolescence, into your relationships, into your career. And somewhere along the way, it stopped being something that happened to you and became something you believed about yourself.This book is for anyone who has ever quietly asked: What is wrong with me?Marie Evans spent decades living at number twelve, and she believes so many others are quietly stuck there too. After losing both of her brothers, men who carried the same wounds but never found their way out, she knew she couldn't keep what she had learned to herself. Not because she has all the answers, but because the words and teachings of others helped pull her through, and she wrote this book to do the same for you.TWELVE draws on the wisdom of thought leaders like Brené Brown, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Esther and Jerry Hicks, Oprah Winfrey, Eckhart Tolle, Iyanla Vanzant,and Don Miguel Ruiz. It is shaped by psychology and self-help, and grounded in ancient wisdom that was written over three thousand years ago. Principles about the human experience that are just as relevant today as they were then. This is not a religious book, and you don't have to know Scripture, be religious, or follow any particular faith to understand it. But the healing and help we have been searching for has been here for centuries. We just haven't always known where to look. It meets you wherever you are.Marie weaves together practical tools, personal stories, and transformational insights to help you understand where your disappointment really came from, recognize how it has been living in your body, break the agreements you never consciously made, climb the emotional ladder one rung at a time, and unlearn the lies you have carried so you can replace them with truth.This is not a book about positive thinking. It is about feeling what you have been avoiding, questioning what you have always believed, and doing the daily work of becoming free.The web can be untangled. Thread by thread. Belief by belief.
