Writing from our SOUL is the only way to go....gets right to the truth of the matter!
The Coffee Table Muse series came about by writing from my SOUL says Samantha
After God knows how many years and thousands of dollars in motivational and self help seminars, workshops and retreats I am happy to say I FOUND THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR, the answer was in ME, or a better way of putting it would be to say the answer ‘WAS ME’.
I now see that for me and others who look outside of themselves they will only become more confused as to who they really are.
Am I this or that?? Well depending on whom your EGO has become at that time, will give you a different answer, or maybe you could say a different IDENTITY.
Let me explain, over the years, I had taken on, ‘Many Hats’ you might say in an attempt to find real happiness.
Although I had seemed to the world, and had convinced myself most of the time, that I was one of the ‘lucky ones’, you know had it all, the perfect life.
However inside I would crash and burn a couple of times a year just trying to live up to my own expectations, (and that of others).
It was when I realized that it was ME, yep, ME that was responsible for my own pain and suffering, that I found peace, I mean peace, no more pain, poor me, I can’t do this any more…(OK I am exaggerating a bit so you get the idea), but in short, I was responsible for me and that there had been a character in my life discussed as ME that had caused me such grief that now that I finally saw this character, I could deal with them.
It was my EGO, was it Skyhooks (Band) who said, “Ego is not a dirty word? (Song), mmm well it is or I should say, ‘it can be’.
My EGO had taken on a life of its own with no consideration for me at all.
When I started to work on my EGO I found my SOUL, I found the light! Literally I found the light and with it came such peace; happiness and love that I wanted to share it with all.
In having children, four, (so I do understand why some animals eat their young), when I discovered ME, I so wanted to help them, yet I was unable to help myself at first. My journey to self is their journey to self too, as it is yours.
With a bit of time and work, you too will see the Insanity you have caused yourself in your life through listening to your EGO and giving no time at all to the ponderings and wisdom of your SOUL.
Please enjoy the truth, reality and the tongue in cheek humor of what I have shared with you in my book.
It is meant to be a light humorous read on one level, yet something that will make you think and confront your own demons on another.
There is plenty of space in Samanthas books for you to write your own thoughts that are stimulated by each read.
With love in my heart, an EGO out the door and words from my SOUL I bring you the Coffee Table Muse©.
Love and Hugs Samantha Rayn Backman.

The Coffee Table Muse - Ponderings on our Ego and its Insanity!
“With all the ‘self-help’, ‘laws of how to’ and ‘you-can-do-it’ information out there - including how to "succeed-in-business" and take control of your life, we are no better off - in fact, we have more depression, feelings of hopelessness and financial debt than ever. We are unhealthy, unhappy and way from our true potential as humans. We appear to be happy, yet we are dis-eased and suffer emotionally. Our happiness is brought about by the wants of our Ego. We never really know our self let alone connect fully with another. All our relationships are shallow and mostly Ego driven. We have surrounded ourselves with material things and knowledge, yet we still seek true happiness. We have lost our way; it is time to reclaim our life, our health, our spirit and our soul from the man made Hell we have created by living through our Ego. Time to ponder on all! Enjoy my Ponderings on the Ego and its insanity.
