Black Friday Business SPOTLIGHT: Sheldon S. Crocker!

author black friday book interview sheldon s crocker Nov 17, 2022



Please tell us about your books! 
 - In this book, I take you on the journey of coming unshackled from life’s conditioning and early childhood trauma and becoming what everyone told me to be. It’s the journey of how I found myself, on an extraordinary journey, through the darksome room of the soul, to find ME. This included becoming unshackled from my past and turning my worst days into the foundation on which I rebuilt my life. This story also takes you on your journey; it will question what you believe and takes you on an exceptional experience of what happens when we choose to heal our lives and make the hero’s journey to find the wild inside.

 

What topics do you enjoy writing about? I've only written one book: a combination of memoir, travel journal, addiction recovery journey, book of poetry and self-help book.

 

What inspired you to become an author? 

Without the car accident that, I was involved in 2018, I would not be sharing my story. In the past, if you were to ask me if I ever envisioned myself writing this book or speaking in front of crowds, I would reply, “Don't be foolish; I am unable to do that!” The purpose of my writing was to express my feelings and thoughts. I was not in control of my pen as I felt called to write. Even I was surprised by what emerged. My writing came from a source other than my mind. I was forced to say, and write, the truth in a way I had never been able to do before. Speaking out helps me make a difference in someone's life that I wish had been made on my own when I was young. I was afraid to share my stories for most of my life, feeling I had no voice. Today I have become someone who speaks out about mental health so much that one day, it will be entirely unremarkable to stand up and say fifteen simple but powerful words: "My name is ____________, I have lived with a disability, and I am not ashamed."

What are some of your favorite books to read? All 40+ Legend of Drizzt Books, All 10 The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant books, How to Win Friends and Influence People & How to Stop Worrying and Start Living - Dale Carnegie, The LotR, The Hobbit, Willow

What is the message you wish to convey to people this holiday season? I'm glad to have you as a customer and look forward to serving you in the future. Happy holidays! May this beautiful holiday season bring you and your family joy, love, and peace! From your friend at Sheldon's Transformative Thinking, best wishes to you and yours.
