I Punched Myself In The Eye: Stories Of Self-Sabotage, Imperfection, And Perfect, Amazing Grace
SPECIAL GUEST AUTHOR: Pamela Capone, author of I Punched Myself In The Eye: Stories Of Self-Sabotage, Imperfection, And Perfect, Amazing Grace.
These stories pack a punch!
In her collection of personal, stand-alone essays, you will not only be entertained by her colloquial, quirky style, but surprised by the truths revealed. Putting her “quirk to work,” she blends humor and depth. This easy, transparent read will appeal to anyone looking for a little downtime. You will end up not only with that, but so much more.
Key themes are seizing the day, humanity, grace, faith and messages from a higher power. Some of the true-life stories are downright hilarious, and a few are piercingly poignant, revealing old truths with fresh insight. Mostly they are about receiving understanding in the nonsense, epiphanies in unexpected places, redemption in everyday life. She shows that revelation from above can come many ways—a gardener’s humble truck, an overlapper on a plane, a subway musician, a little boy who needs his button buttoned, a self-inflicted black eye. The more you believe it’s possible, the more it is.
If you dig a little in an average day, you too can find the golden nugget—and don’t we all need that?

BIO: Pamela Capone, born in the heart of Los Angeles, was the youngest of nine children orphaned by their biological parents. Taken in by her foster parents at 18 months old, to this day Capone considers herself a rescue, and her adoptive parents heroes. A self-professed people watcher, Capone has been inspired by the “misunderstood” Mrs. Kravitz of the classic sitcom Bewitched, who Capone claims wasn’t nosey, but a pioneer who cared. A self-contained Neighborhood Watch, Mrs. Kravitz was a trailblazer, encouraging timid little girls like Capone to be curious.
Capone is a daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife, a friend, an avid supporter of IMA Guatemala, an actor, a public speaker, an evidence gatherer, a dot-connector and an author. Her second book, I Punched Myself in the Eye, released in 2015 and follows her debut title, The Little Girl Within: Overcoming Memories of Childhood Abuse and Abandonment, which chronicles Capone’s life beginning with her first memory of being placed in foster care. Capone lives in Southern California with her husband, John. Together they have two children and one grandpup.
