Keep Going

I wrote this book to celebrate my 65^th birthday and to look back at what I have survived and grown from in more recent years. The past ten years since I wrote You Have to Go Now have brought me even more surprising challenges to conquer.

Falling for a married man whom I had believed to be single nearly broke me. In the end I knew this was yet another learning process for me that I would grow from and in turn can help others.

My financial situation coming to ruins was another big challenge I never thought I would have to face in my sixties. Accepting help from others is a hard pill to swallow when we are prideful. I stay humble in helping others but the kind of humility to accept help was a big lesson I had yet to learn in my life.

And just when you think you've survived the worse things possible the unthinkable happens. Losing my beautiful granddaughter MacKenzie to suicide was devastating How would I ever find the words to do her justice? I had to rely on my faith in God to guide me in what I now pray may save another life.

Survival and finding light again in times of struggle is always my goal. To share my journey to help others is a privilege I take very seriously.
