Book 5 of 5 in SILVER SERIES OF GROWN-UP WISDOM
Ulla's all-time favorite expression is "What the World?!"
One of her earliest childhood memories was a very painful one. Ulla was about four years old. She woke up in the middle of the night, throwing up, sick in her bed. She needed her mommy! Ulla went to awaken her mother and this is when she came face-to-face with her mom's inner demons, pent-up anger, and uncontrollable rage. Ulla's mom shouted in a nasty tirade the entire time she was cleaning Ulla up, jerking everything about and changing the soiled sheets. "Don't even think you are getting into bed with me!!" As Ulla sobbed herself back to sleep after that dreadful experience, she remembered feeling woefully guilty and utterly ashamed. "What the World?!" This was one of the dark memories from Ulla's early childhood.
Today, we would call this early childhood trauma abuse. However, it would take many more years for Ulla to recognize it as such, and for her to begin to understand the deep roots of scarcity and unworthiness that she manifested.
Many decades later, Ulla, much older and a wee bit wiser, decided to search for answers to some of her most probing life questions.
"Why am I here?" "Why are any of us here?" "What is my purpose?"
Do you know anyone like Ulla? Perhaps this adult fiction illustrated short story will speak to them!
