Three Little Decisions: How to Move Beyond the Bruises of Life

Life is full of decisions—little choices we rarely think about until something significant happens and shakes up the tedium of our day-to-day life. Some of these significant circumstances arrive not on a gentle breeze, which nudges us kindly along, but roars in like an arctic blast and blows us to the ground.

Several years ago, a strong blast hit my life; it knocked me sideways and landed me in a dark place. After too many days sitting in a pit of indignation and bitterness, it became clear: something had to change.

This was not how I wanted to live my life. Some kind of change was needed, but I felt uncertain how to proceed until a friend gave me a small gift that altered my outlook and helped me out of my pit.

Janet K. Marks (BS, University of Colorado) grew up in Colorado and married her high school sweetheart, Tom. Together they spent almost three decades leading Christian ministries in the US and in Germany.

As a keen observer of life, Janet possesses a deep sense of empathy for others and has had a wide variety of life experiences, making her an ideal candidate to write a book to help men and women mend from life's bruises. She enjoys speaking about these topics, striving to inspire hope and courage, and offering suggestions to overcome. You are invited to share your decisions at janetremarks.com.
