From the Author:
My journey toward writing an award winning book started some seven years ago. I went through a divorce after 30 years of marriage, with four grown children, and at the time, five grandchildren. It turned my world upside down and turned me inside out. The demise of our family unit was more than I could bear. I looked at my situation every which way and couldn't find a way to save both me and my family. I knew I had to chose me or lose me.
Going through the divorce experience opened doors I could not have imagined. There was a purpose in me that would not be quieted. My business, Life By Design Coaching, was born at that time. I'd been living my life by default, following what others expected. It was time to design my life. Little did I know that there was treachery to traverse first.
The time between ending one part of life and starting a new one is like being between trapezes--without a net. Words don't convey the depth of fear we experience when our world is breaking to pieces and we are shaken to our core. This shaking is what makes possible creative rearranging into something you want--but we don't know that when we're in it.
I know hundreds of people who have had similar divorce experiences and arrive at the other side with awareness, peace, and renewed vision. I call this The Divorce Door: using the divorce experience as a passage to a more vital you and a more vital life. I knew my work in the world was to help others turn their divorce into a creative experience. Beyond Divorce: Stop the Pain, Rekindle Your Happiness, and Put Purpose Back in Your Life, was born.
