Going through my mother's cancer and death, my loss of faith, divorce/remarriage/blending families, career changes for both my husband and I, frugal living, and suicide of my stepdaughter. These things were all very difficult, AND through personal growth, help from others, deciding to find my own power and strength to go on, I've made it through. I learn best by listening to teachers and authors share their stories of challenges and accomplishments. I'll share my story with you in an effort to be transparent and real.
