The family had moved to California during the dust bowl and settled in the Central Valley. It was not an easy time for Jesse buy he learned how to survive and developed his imagination and love of the old west, often imagining himself riding horses across the Great Plains or following the trails of the wildlife that seem to plentiful as a child. Getting an education was not at the top of Jessie’s thinking t that time, and he paid the price for it many times in the future. However, through the years of dreaming of a different life, Jesse was able to break that path and move on to figuring out that he had a natural gift for art and at 50, taught himself sculpting. Sculpting spurred his imagination, which led to the writing down those stories which he had been keeping in the back of his mind, and all the new stories yet to come. The future is just now starting anew for Mr. Beard.

Working with abused and neglected kids, I could see unmistakably the impact of trauma on growing minds and hearts. Here I’m talking about the emotional heart, which deeply feels the pain when our needs are not met – not just physical needs, but emotional, mental, and spiritual needs as well. I switched to psychiatry, continuing my developmental perspective with the “mentally ill.” In each symptom or behavioral challenge of these adults, I could hear the inner child relaying the truth of his or her traumatic life and the effects, which included delayed development. Wanting to inspire people to hear and help this wounded child in themselves and others, I began writing. As a Toastmaster of over ten years, I enjoy public speaking too. I also love assisting people in discovering what is holding back their development and working it through, so they can go on to fulfill their destinies. When we don’t choose to fulfill our destinies, an injury, illness, storm, or disaster may just come our way, reminding us why we are here…   To learn more about Anne and her books, please visit http://books.txauthors.com/category-s/2540.htm 00:30:00Indie Beacon RadionoAnne Redelfs,B Alan Bourgeois,Indie Beacon Radio,Self Help,booksAnne Redelfs is a psychologist that has written several books to help people heal on many levels.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/indiebeaconradio/2018/04/21/indie-beacon-radio-show-11-with-david-from-kirkus-reviewBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/indiebeaconradio/2018/04/21/indie-beacon-radio-show-11-with-david-from-kirkus-review/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/indiebeaconradio/2018/04/21/indie-beacon-radio-show-11-with-david-from-kirkus-reviewSat, 21 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMTIndie Beacon Radio Show 11 with David from Kirkus ReviewAs an unpublished or self-published author, it can be a relentless struggle to attract a significant amount of attention to your book or manuscript.
