BOOMERANG

HOW A DAUGHTER LED HER PARENTS FROM CHAOS TO CALM IN A WALK THROUGH THE WILDERNESS OF DEMENTIA.


  • Boomerang the Book

    I was obsessed with achieving. My self-value was measured by things happening outside of me. Chasing achievements became more and more exhausting as personal satisfaction diminished. It was time to make a change. My husband’s career was thriving and my daughter was establishing herself as a physical therapist.



    I am the only living sibling of a small family and part of the baby boomer generation. During this time, my parents were aging and appeared to be doing so with grace. While I noticed some questionable behaviors, nothing seemed over the top. From my vantage point, I could plan on a predictable career change. But to my surprise, life was preparing me for something different. I would later learn it was the boomerang. 



    In 2019, a virus called COVID-19 ignited a pandemic that shut down the world. The pandemic uncovered what purpose-filled chaos could produce in me. A boomerang had been soaring over my head that would touch down and require me to activate every lesson I knew in leadership, resilience, faith, and, yes, even my belief in miracles. They were all necessary to care for my aging parents. It would stretch me beyond every limit I could imagine, but I did not break. Instead, I expanded. I write this book to support you in navigating your own boomerang. 



    Please know that you are never alone.

"Today marks the day when a leader has to make a tough decision-maybe without a full plan. When they must trust themselves."

Myrna Jackson


My name is Myrna Jackson. I am a wife of 30 years to my best friend, Carlton Jackson, and a proud mother to Tiphani Jackson. These two are wonderful gifts to me from the Divine. Thank you, God! 


Prior to writing this book, I spent more than 20 years of my life serving as a core leader supporting the missions of large and small organizations, in both government and private industry. I have been a relied-upon, ambitious, and conscientious over-achiever. I have a degree in business and have heavily invested in training and many certifications that help organizations and leaders predict business and personal outcomes. I confess that there have been times I became the achievement I was pursuing, losing touch with the essence of what I brought to the pursuit. During those times, only outcomes mattered. If the pursuit was a loss, I felt like a loser. 


I left my corporate career at the end of 2019 with lots of lessons to share. I am the owner of Metamorphosis, LLC, a leadership and life coaching consulting business. In a nutshell, I am a human mirror. I carefully and lovingly help others see themselves through a lens that is both deeper and higher. 


I have many gifts, but my core gift is to empower others to see value in themselves and others. I help them establish relationships built on truth, unconditional love, and trust, always remembering that it’s the journey and the learning that matter most, and that faith is the foundation of everything. I believe that our lives provide us with experiences that help point us to purposeful impact, sometimes in unexpected and jolting ways. If we don’t get lost in the pain and hardship of our stories, they can bring deep meaning, significance, and healing to our lives and the lives of others. Through my own story of pain and hardship with caring for my aging parents, I offer this book as a place of refuge, empowerment, and healing. I call the experience my boomerang.
