SUMMARY:Georgette Swarn at the Henry Co. Library
DESCRIPTION:The Henry County Library in Clinton is pleased to announce that they will be hosting a book reading and signing session for local author Georgette Swarn on Saturday, June 21st, from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. in the Friends of the Library Community Room. Georgette will be reading from her biography No 1 Said A Word.\nAbout Georgette: Georgette resides in Clinton, Missouri with her husband. She has one daughter, three grandchildren, and is blessed with additional children. Despite the challenges she faced early in life, she moved forward with purpose, sometimes alone, finding solace and guidance through the church’s biblical teachings. The lessons from the pulpit and observing the lives of others were especially helpful to her.\nShe is an ordained minister and holds a doctoral degree in Christian Counseling, focusing on Teaching, Research, and Spiritual Psychology. She has also studied Human Services and Spirit Issues. As the founder of the non-profit organization Community Inclusion Group, Georgette’s diverse life experiences have fueled her over twenty years of community outreach. With her extensive knowledge of domestic violence and personal development, she shares daily life coaching techniques with those willing to listen.\nFrom Georgette Swarn about No 1 Said A Word: Bear with me! I am not an expert on life, but I have concluded that if you keep waking up every morning, life will challenge you physically and emotionally. It is like going to a never-ending grad school and taking a prerequisite psych course called, “What to do with all the Bookmarks and Keepsakes of life.”\nMy biography emphasizes the first half of my life where the inability to develop healthy relationships with myself, my family, and my community, was due to overwhelming circumstances. The diverse levels of dysfunctional behaviors ranged from loud verbal abuse, physical abuse, or exposure to underage environments. I was trafficked before it was deemed human trafficking in 2000, Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), and was a victim of child abuse long before the enforcement act in 1974, Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA).\nBefore those laws people just minded their own business, or “No 1 Said A Word.”\nThose experiences left me with mental scars to navigate through life carrying all the Bookmarks and Keepsakes. Some of my Bookmarks are reminders that I did survive when others would have cashed their life in for a pine box. My Keepsakes are attached at my hip and used as leverage to walk into all that God has planned for me and a daily reminder that my future and my latter days are blessed beyond measures. My goal is to live according to what my relationship is with God and not what people remember of my past behaviors or where people think I should be.\nI invite readers as they read my biography to confront and embrace their own life experiences and strive for personal growth and healing.\nJeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.\nPlease join the library in welcoming Georgette as she shares her story. Copies of No 1 Said A Word will be available for purchasing and autographing at the event for $20 payable via cash, check, Cash App, Venmo, Square, and PayPal.
