Book chronicles one woman’s pursuit of perfectionism and awakening in spite of her trials with addiction and depression – GlobeNewswire

GALVESTONE, Texas, July 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I craved to be perfect, but life kept getting in the way. As events unfurled that challenged my faade of perfection, I broke apart. Then all the secrets I hid from myself and others spilled out across the floor. I was not good enough, smart enough, and successful enough to be a flawless person, Nancy Shelton reveals.

In Imperfectly Perfect: Life Stories about Awakening (published by Balboa Press), Shelton shares life stories that chronicles her pursuit of perfectionism and awakening in spite of her trials with addiction and depression. She falls down over and over and gets up again and again. She struggles with her brokenness while having mystical experiences. Her insights about self-acceptance and self-love provide a guide for living life on lifes terms and waking up to a higher consciousness.

Everyone suffers through life experiences and many, like myself, crave a connection to something bigger than myself, call it God, nature, Higher Power, or whatever spiritual that is a part of their culture, Shelton says. If you are dedicated to following spirituality as a guiding force no matter what life throws at you, the stories illuminate the struggle of one person who has followed her own path.

Imperfectly Perfect: Life Stories about Awakening shares stories from a perspective of compassion, forgiveness, and understanding, and with a dash of humor. When I shared my stories, it was necessary for me to be honest, and I was blessed with new ways of seeing my world. Culling out old ways of being and applying new perspectives to my life took a lot of practice. I found that life is a process of becoming my authentic self, Shelton adds.
