Breaking the Armour was amazing and beneficial in so many ways. It has taught me that every action has a reaction, whether positive or negative. It has helped me open up to understand why certain things occur in my life, and how I can work to change them. I was apprehensive in the beginning, but learning that my outcomes are up to me has helped me for the better.

So much wisdom is being shared. So many aha moments!
Lorinne B., spiritual therapist at Joyous Me.
Upon reading this book, I, too, am learning to embrace the spiritual part of my life. I see how we all have this within us and that its not just for some people. I learned that life is what you make it to be. The tools in the back of the book seem so easy to do and once I started doing them, they have become powerful healing techniques.

Welcome
My journey to healing started many years ago, little did I know that along the way I would be guided and given tools not only for myself but for other people as well. I learned how to heal, embrace my spiritual gifts, listen to my soul and most important I learned to love myself.
I knew at a young age that I was different than my peers in that I could sense people on a soul level. I could see and sense energy, feel many things that they too were feeling, and that certain things such as people, animals, and events would show up, each one at the perfect time to guide me on this path of life. It took me many years to figure this all out, and I am sure there is much more to it that I have yet to experience but for now I am in awe and gratitude for exactly where I am at the moment for it is a place of peace and contentment.
This book is about my own healing, but is intended to help teach how we create each and every event that happens to us. I was guided through the whole process by my Higher Self and Spirit. The words flowed so easily and took only Eight days to write, and I am honored to be able to share it with you. I hope that you can take something away from it that may help you along.
The beginning of this book was hard for me to write, as it comes from a place of feeling like a victim, and yet that is exactly what I was at the time of the actual events at those times in my life, so I have to tell it from where I was at and not from where I am now.
I can honestly say that I am no longer a victim; in fact, I sometimes forget that these events even happen to me as I have healed them so immensely. I know that if I have healed them at such a great depth, then you can as well, it really can be done.
I was reflecting on how this book reminds me of my pregnancy with my oldest son. I was seventeen and scared. Scared of what people would think of me. I had a few people who wanted me to terminate my pregnancy, but I knew that this baby was to be born, and he has turned out to be one of the greatest blessings in my life. Like my pregnancy, I have had a few people wanting me to terminate this book, but, I know it is to be birthed.
I remember, going back to school that fall, seventeen and 5 months pregnant. Everyone knew of my pregnancy. My boyfriend had broken up with me and I really didn’t have any friends. I remember telling my Mom how scared I was to have everyone stare at me and see me this way. She said Paige, you go to that school, open that door and you walk through with your head held high and be proud of who you are!
So here I am, holding my head high and walking through this door of sharing my book of life experiences with you.
Life really is an amazing journey. I believe full heartedly, that we truly do create our lives. We are more powerful than we can imagine and that life is a beautiful puzzle. Some parts are easy to figure out and others are more challenging but once we are done and take a step back we can see just how each event, each person and experience has been perfectly placed to fit with another piece. Each one connected to the next and it is us who are placing each and every piece along the way.
Be gentle with yourself; know that you matter, each and every person on this beautiful earth matters… Who you are makes a difference… The world needs you to shine like the magnificent light that you are.

Chapter 1
Building the Armour
Ugly, stupid, scrawny, skinny and dummy. These hurtful words I heard pretty much on a daily basis. They were as bad as the physical hitting, pushing and the odd kicking that I received while growing up. Words do hurt! They hurt and burrow themselves into our minds, bodies and souls and become a part of who we think we are. They mold and shape us and they become our own belief patterns that we believe to be true as children, teens and even adults. Hurtful words and abuse seem to strike us even harder when they come from the very people that we love and look up to.
I suffered this torment almost daily from my older cousin Jake, who is only three years older than me. Jake, came to live with my family as a baby, and being that he was already there when I was born, I thought of him to be more of my brother than a cousin. I knew and understood that most siblings fight, but why did Jake, who when I was four, all of a sudden turn on me? Why did he go from being my friend and playing with me to hurting me so much? And, even more so, why was it that the more I tried to get him to like me again, the worse he would treat me?
Before this torment, I remember playing cars and trucks with him, and playing outside in the back yard. He was one of my only friends, as I did not go to school yet and I only had a couple of neighborhood friends. I looked up to him, and to me, he was the greatest person out there. I think a part of me even wanted to be just like him, as I was more of a tom boy than a girly girl. Then one day, at the age of four, everything seemed to change. Jake never wanted to play or hang out with me anymore, instead he dreaded me. He seemed to hate me and he started to become mean and abusive. If he did ask me to play a board or card game with him I was more than willing, because I wanted him to like me again. But I learned, quite quickly, just to let him win, no matter what. He usually did, but the odd time I would win, meant being called more names, wrecking the game and me having to pick up the pieces or, worse yet, getting punched. I did not want to tattle on my cousin, because that meant he may get into trouble and I would feel extreme guilt. I think, in my mind, I thought it was because I must have done something to deserve this treatment, plus tattling would mean that he would hate me more.
I feared coming home after school the days that my Mom and Dad worked, because we would be alone and that meant no one was there to prevent it. Sometimes it would even be him going into my room, wrecking my posters or stealing my babysitting
