Inspiration
Initially, when I started writing
Bare Naked Bliss, I was inspired to share all the tools and intellect I had gathered along the way during my journey into healing. At first, I was writing as part of my healing process; even though, my intent was to help others heal. It was the final work I needed to do to truly embody all I had intellectualized and utilized to set myself free. During this process I discovered how I could heal myself and revealed all the truths buried within my suffering. Simultaneously, I started helping friends make peace with their own suffering. What I realized while helping them is this book embodies the tools needed to heal, find your bliss and inspire you to give---I just need to take the reader on the journey. I began to focus all my energy visualizing the reader or the listener and how to communicate all these ideas and suggest some type of path for an indefinable process of letting go of all their pain and shame and uncovering their euphoric bliss.
Purpose
The purpose of this book is to inspire others to connect to their inner truth and start loving from within. Bare Naked Bliss can be used as a tool to help you remember you can live aligned with authentic self. You can move beyond your fears, suffering or the obstacles you have found in your life. Life then suddenly becomes a possibility and no longer feels like work. It feels like a celebration.
Giving back
A portion of Suzanne’s royalties will be donated to charities supporting children and communities around the world.
During all the rewrites and edits I kept one person in mind, which was brought into my life by no accident Allan Pineda, Apl de Ap,
(aka- the rock star). He has suffered many tragedies greater than most of us can imagine and he continues to find his way through his life with freedom and a sense of grace. His heart and soul possesses a beacon of light which I continue to guide him towards. This energy has provided me with a source of inspiration and direction; his light and “Buddha Boy” energy provides hope for so many people in the Philippines who are suffering everyday. Just as I remind Allan of his energy and the love he possess within I want to remind you that you possess the same energy. It has been from the inception of our friendship that I made a commitment to him that I would give back to his country, the Philippines, financially and help inspire others to start their healing process. The same process Allan has been committed to and continues down--an uncharted path. He is well on his way and about to embark on a beautiful journey into giving back to his homeland and the rest of the world. Allan and I are joined with a similar desire to help those in need around this world, I offer this book to all of you as an opportunity to heal, love, and give to yourself and to others.
