Thursday 11:30 – Sheila Logan – The Key to My Prison; A Journey from the Darkness into the Light
Class Description: Finding true joy and happiness in life is harder for some than others. The reality is that we can’t just wake up one morning, decide to be happy, and then live a life free of trials. Sometimes our lives are disrupted by our struggle with depression, anxiety, failure, divorce, death, other people’s choices, or many other difficulties.
In the Harry Potter movies, there is a creature called a dementor. Whenever anyone comes into contact with it, it sucks all of the happiness from that person. Also, the light everywhere goes away and the person feels like they are in darkness.
I have often told my children that when I struggle with life it feels like there is a dementor in front of the light at the end of my tunnel. Meaning, every time I tried to get to the light at the end of my tunnel my happiness was being sucked out of me and everything would get dark.
Are you tired of feeling the darkness? Are you ready to finally reach the light?
If you’re like me, you may feel like punching the next person who says, “God doesn’t give us more than we can handle” in the face!
It is possible to reach the light and find true joy and happiness even in the face of adversity and trials that come one after the other.
I’d like to share my story with you and some of the ways that I have found to get rid of the dementors in front of the light at the end of my tunnel… without the Patronus Charm Harry uses in the movies.
