I had to write about how this lady, Louise L. Hay, whom I have never met, transformed the way I looked at my life during the years of dealing with workplace bullying. I received her book, “You Can Heal Your Life”. in 1988. I read it cover to cover and found an instructive way to heal my life. To heal from the past and not allow those chains to weigh and destroy the future. We are who we are from our past yet why repeat those patterns if they were/are destructive. It was a long road and many bumps, bangs along the journey. Her positive message of self love and forgiveness really speaks to us all. Her work spreads the seeds of healing and hope that ripple across the world. To be kind to ourselves and others, to seek a better way to understand, live our best life, improve our health and find happiness.
“Louise Hay, a self-help guru and AIDS advocate whose book, “You Can Heal Your Life,” preached the power of love and affirmation, sold tens of millions of copies and made her a leading voice of the New Age movement in the 1980s, died — or “transitioned” — on Aug. 30 at her home in San Diego. She was 90. Described in a 2008 New York Times profile as “the queen of the New Age,” Ms. Hay was a child-abuse victim who had dropped out of high school, given a baby up for adoption, worked as a model and divorced an international-trade expert by the time she discovered “the power of positive thinking” in her 40s.””
Goodbye and thank you Louise.
