Sidewalk Sutras... Satya- Truthfulness... "I learned to hide the truth long before I learned to heal. Sometimes survival teaches the lesson before wisdom can." At nine years old, I learned how to hide the truth. Not because I was bad. Not because I wanted to deceive anyone. I learned to hide the truth because the truth felt too painful. "He's on his way." "He got stuck at work." "He'll be here soon." Meanwhile, I sat on a stoop waiting for a father who never came week in and week out... What I didn't understand then was that every child deserves to feel chosen. To feel wanted. To know they matter. I wrote Sidewalk Sutras for THAT little girl. The one who learned to make excuses for the people who broke her heart. The one who thought love had to be earned. The one who sat alone wondering why she wasn't enough. This book became part memoir, part medicine, and part love letter to every inner child still carrying those same questions. If you've ever felt unseen... If you've ever waited for love that never arrived... If you've ever wondered whether you were enough... This book is for you. You mattered then. You matter now. And you always will. Sidewalk Sutras is coming soon. Comment SUTRAS below to be added to the pre-launch list. #ericagarciayogavida #SidewalkSutras #sutrasdelacalle
