Excerpt:
Introduction
My name is Celisha J. I have been through a lot, learned, and am better because of it. I am a firm believer that every lesson is a blessing. God has saved me so many times. I know he did this because he has something bigger planned for me.
My prayer for this book is that it helps women and children who have gone through the same or similar situations to know that they don’t have to allow the traumas of their past to keep them from being successful. I believe that God has a plan for our life, but we did something to alter that plan along the way. He did not intend for us to struggle or have a hard life. He allows us to choose the path we want to go on. The good thing is he is that he is Always there to pick us up when we fall. We were born for greatness.
Hold yourself accountable for your mistakes and forgive yourself and those who hurt you. Forgiveness is for you. I want people to know you can be the best you that you allow. No one says it will be easy, but the main thing to remember is that you are responsible for you. I believe that the only person you can truly believe in life, who won’t let you down, is God and yourself. In order for you to crawl out of the slump of being abused, hurt, let down, controlled, and battered is, your faith in God and the belief that he has better for you. He does not want us to live in our past. He intended for us to learn from it and allow our past to help other people gain strength, but if we tell our stories and we have not grown from what happened to us, then who can we really help?
I have done some things in my past that I am not proud of, and this book tells you my story and how I remember it. No, it is not everything, but the book will tell you the things that stood out the most to me. I have learned a lot and grown from my mistakes, and I have decided not to allow the embarrassment, pain, and struggles from my past to hold me back, so I am releasing it in this book.
This is my Ugly Truth!

What is an idea? It is a specialized thought that generally depicts an action or set of actions. For an idea to originate, you need to have a perspective to dig out or spot something that is present. You could even have an eye for detail in which you can generate ideas. You can get ideas from people, things, or events around you. You could get ideas from your own experiences. For example, my book, “I Survived” originated from an idea of narrating my experiences through the early stages of my life.
Ideas generally tend to nurture or creep into an open mind with a willingness to move forward. Throughout my entire life, I ensured that I moved forward through all situations. There were times when I crawled, I walked, I ran, I rolled, but I moved forward. It was, is and will always be my will to move forward that helps me be alerted to think of new ideas always. My book titled, “I Survived”, is the result of an idea that popped in my head. The idea was to send a message to little girls and meek women that they are not alone. The idea was to give them inspiration and hope that there is someone out there who loves and cares for them when they are down, rejected, dejected, and shunned after being abused.
After working on my idea of “I Survived”, I am now working on some of my other ideas – I am acting in a web series, I am working on yet another idea, which is a sequel to my book. God willing, I will come up with more ideas to progress my life the way I want to in the days to come. Thanks to my ideas, I have learnt fantastic lessons that life has taught me, and I am at a stage where I am steadily putting my ideas to action. To achieve this, I have ensured that I select the right people around me who will nurture and help me grow my ideas.
