Moving On From Life's Challenges (Paperback or Softback)

Moving on From Life's Challenges is based on a true story that took Mindy Briggs, a New York state native, from two failed marriages, through a miscarriage, past breast cancer, into an unexpected suicide of a friend, and to the loss of loved ones. All of this taking place over several years of her life to where she was finally able to put it all down on paper and painfully share it with the world.

Throughout the pain and many disappointments she was facing, Mindy, with each heartbreak, felt as though it was like putting a puzzle together: always trying to figure out how the complicated pieces somehow fit into her life.

She began to realize, little by little, the incites that were being revealed to her. The puzzle began to take shape, and Mindy could finally see the big picture of why every negative situation truly can have a positive outcome.

THIS IS HER STORY.
