Maggie Perrone, Executive Director of Genuine Journeys, Contributes a Chapter to a New Anthology

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - June 15, 2017 - PRLog -- In the new book, Nurse SPARKS, Maggie Perrone BSN, MA, OCN, will touch readers with her personal and profound journey of learning to listen to life's messages.

In a story titled, "The Wake-Up Call," Maggie shares the story of how she finally allowed herself to learn to listen to her heart and how that changed everything in her life.

Maggie says, "How did listening to these wake-up calls change me?  I now believe in miracles and that death truly leads to new life. Fear doesn't have the stranglehold on me, my thoughts, my intestines or my faith that it used to and that I allowed it to have on me.  I learned that through the kindness, humility, compassion, and vulnerability of others who are willing to walk these paths beside me, I can mine new ways of being strong. I learned that agenda, drama, and expectations of others are false constructs that lead to deeper unhappiness, disappointment and wasted adrenal hormones."
