Forthcoming Book Titles By Waseme Z. Marcelin
THE THINGS THAT KEEP US BUSY
When Distraction Looks Like Responsibility, Relationship, and Everything Except What It Really Is
What’s Been Keeping You Busy?
When Distraction Looks Like Responsibility, Relationship, and Everything Except What It Really Is
The Things That Keep Us Busy is an honest and reflective look at the distractions we often mistake for responsibility, productivity, and even love. Through personal stories and lessons learned, Waseme Z. Marcelin explores how people-pleasing, relationships, perfectionism, overthinking, constant activity, and the need to be needed can quietly consume our time while keeping us from ourselves.
This book invites readers to examine what has been keeping them busy—and what that busyness may be keeping them from. It is a call to slow down, make room for reflection, reclaim your time, and begin intentionally building the life you may have been too distracted to live.
IN HINDSIGHT
The Things I Couldn’t See Until I Looked Back
What I Could Only See in Hindsight
In Hindsight is a deeply reflective memoir about what becomes visible when we finally have the language, distance, and courage to look back.
Through memories of childhood, family, silence, love, relationships, marriage, motherhood, faith, and finding her voice, Waseme Z. Marcelin revisits experiences she once understood only through the eyes she had at the time. What felt normal was not always normal. What looked like love was not always love. And what she once believed she simply had to endure would eventually become part of a much larger story of recognition, healing, and change.
In Hindsight is not only about what happened. It is about finally being able to see it clearly—and discovering what becomes possible when silence no longer gets the final word.
