CJ Harlan has been helping, supporting, teaching, guiding and caring for people all her life, regardless of her own hardships. It wasn't until she came to terms with even more of her past, that she was then able to turn her purpose and passion into the power that fuels what she has created and continues to build today. She is determined to Make A Difference by helping others to do the same.
In an effort to reach more people, CJ committed herself to writing many books on a variety of topics that can help you eliminate your limitations.
The first of her books, to be released is titled: MORE THAN, Recounting The 'MORE' I Am
Let's face it...It's pretty hard to go through life without being labeled. No matter who you are; what you believe; where you live; how old you are; what you do, using labels and being assigned labels, is a part of everyone's life. As CJ wrote, "Labels are inevitable! It's what we choose to do with them that determines whether we retreat, become stagnant or progress."

Take A Sneak Peak Into CJ's Book, "MORE THAN"
As a child I had a lot going on in my head, not unlike most children. Yet, the challenges I faced,
or didn't face, often lead to the usual labels.
Despite my IQ tests, I was ridiculed for not being more focused, reprimanded for being easily distracted, singled out in class for being a poor reader, called stupid for not retaining information, told repeatedly by adults in my life that "if you would just try harder" I would solve a lot of my problems and achieve "MORE".
Taking their advice I worked "harder" with little improvement. It wasn't until my mid 20's that a professional validated that I was not in fact incapable of learning what others could. Instead, I had to be taught how to organize my thoughts in a way that would allow me to accept and store new information. As freeing as it was to be seen differently, and to some degree even understood for the first time...I now got to try on a new label...A.D.D.
Little did everyone know, including myself, that the label that I should have been assigned was PTSD.
From my experience, I vowed as a young adult that I wouldn't assign negative labels. I wouldn't close my mind to who someone was, and could be. I wouldn't under estimate the reason for someone's distractions or under value another's process. I wouldn't assume to know someone, without actually getting to know them.
I would, however, find ways to offer others more understanding, acceptance and support and ultimately love them unconditionally.
I was true to my personal vow to a fault and learned a lot in the process. One life lesson, during this process, taught me the true power behind the old saying 'be careful what you wish for because you just may get it'. To elaborate on this lesson, my experiences proved to me: IF you are not clear on your intentions; IF you are not specific about what you want and need; IF you do not commit to change when change is necessary, you will get what you set yourself up to receive. Another related, and no less important, lesson is about the prayer, vow and wish granters. I've found that any higher power or spiritual guide (universe included)...can have a profound sense of humor, one which will always challenge you to be "MORE THAN" any label.
