A Message from Jenna Forrest

Right now, many of us are facing tough times -- and many of us are thriving by finding a strength within us we didn't know we had. Help Is On Its Way paints a picture of my struggle growing up with family dysfunction and keen sensory perception. The implications of childhood sensitivity are great, even as we grow into adulthood, but like any difficulty, they can be transcended.

It wasn't until I finished writing Help Is On Its Way that I realized how much my thoughts and fears had created my experiences. I was frustrated that help hadn't arrived for me in the form of a rescuer like I had wanted it to. But now, years later, I see that help did arrive. It came more subtly over time, but it did come. It came because I had repeated the habit of hope.

What feeds your hope? Is it your inner push to keep believing that better days are ahead? Is it the wise words from a stranger that are uttered at just the right time? Perhaps it's stories of people who have faced the same rough road that you have and lived to tell about it. Help is on its Way is that kind of a story. It's written to show that we're all resilient--that we have it within us to thrive no matter where we came from or went through.

More and more the messages in our culture are buzzing around the idea that we can change our current situation simply by shaping our thoughts. It is a philosophy repeated by most of the inventors, philosophers, and leaders throughout our history. We can no longer deny that the mind is our most powerful tool. That is incredibly encouraging. We can take action to change our lives right away by choosing to think about things that make us feel better inside and by being thankful for the good things that we do have.

Today we can begin building our tomorrow by simply surrounding ourselves with things and thoughts that keep our hope alive. Every time we experience good thoughts, that good feeling radiates out to others, slowly changing the world. I believe that by writing and reading stories like Help Is On Its Way, we can remember all that we've overcome and then feel thankful for the opportunity of today.

In Love,
Jenna

"I'm currently reading Help Is On Its Way and believe me when I say the timing of its arrival could not have been better! I have recently discovered information on the trait of High Sensitivity and all that it means...I feel relief and healing that my ways now make sense. I'm busy learning and networking and reading your book is helping so much. I feel the time has come to live the life I was born to live. Thanks Jenna for your insights and your truth."

"Somewhere along the way I came across a recommendation for your book. I looked it up on Amazon, read what was available there, and found myself instantly drawn in an absolutely savoring the truths of feeling, experience, and insight that you so brilliantly remembered and conveyed. So that is the inspired journey that led me to your book. And speaking of help being on its way, I did receive some today. Quite a bit, actually, and your book was part of that, and your website is very uplifting and energizing. I don't have much confidence in the benevolence of the universe, but it came through for me here."

Praise for Help Is On Its Way

"Forrest’s voice is a lot like the one in our heads – the one that most of us are only willing to listen to late at night. What a relief that the sensitive person finally speaks up about what the world looks like through feeling glasses."
