In this thought-provoking first book, noted clinical psychologist Sandra Shaw Dawood, Ph.D., shares her heartfelt and playful communication with God through the symbols He has provided her. Through wordplay, poetry, and autobiographical excerpts, Dr. Dawood lets the reader experience her struggle to turn negative thoughts and events into positive healthy thoughts by her interpretation of God's symbols that are just for her. "As I meditated with Him, He revealed some unexpected marvels that are personalized for me."Dr. Dawood delves into everyday events and creates meaningful interpretations of what she sees and experiences as being symbols from God to assist her in the daily rigors of life."I Statements" is a term mental health professionals use to teach their clients or patients to effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings. "Eye Statements" is a term Dr. Dawood developed. She defines this expression as the ways God uses particular symbols, situations, or events within our daily lives to communicate with us. Dr. Dawood's poetry, puns, word games, and photographs illustrate her continuing communication with God as she interprets His symbolic messages to her--letters on a propane tank, tree branches which form letters with special meaning, a cat's unusual pose, letters and numbers on a license plate, and, yes, Tweety Bird.In "A Peek-A View!" Dr. Dawood describes the life experiences during which she asked God for comfort and guidance and realized He was communicating all along-she simply had to keep her eyes, mind, and heart open and she'd see/hear/experience the message. She shares how she learned to observe and interpret symbolic messages. In "ICU Statements," she reveals the playfulness many messages contain-especially the ones we compose when experiencing emotion arising from a sight that conveys a meaning just for us. Journey with Dr. Dawood through her sorrows and pain, her joys and delights, as she finds fulfillment and revels in experiencing Eye Statements From God.
