Sample Text:
We all face challenges in life, and in particular life-changing events. How we respond to them tells us a lot about ourselves and our fellow woman and mankind. As each of us learns more about the human experience and the meaning of life, it seems important that we share our thoughts in the hope that we may increase our understanding of the importance of life and the responsibilities we have to each other.
My aim is that those of you who have suffered a tragedy or life-changing event will find hope and encouragement through hearing about my experience and what I have found helpful in dealing with loss. You may just find that you are able to say, “I felt like that too. It’s good to know that I am not alone in feeling that way.” Or you may be encouraged or empowered by my discussion on what helped me or what I learned as I reinvented myself and found my new direction.
I think you will find my story both meaningful and interesting. You will learn just how this successful independent woman, who was raised to believe that with hard work you could accomplish your dreams, ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time. My major life experiences are woven with humor into my story of recovery. My story is one that involves a tragic crash, major health problems, a loving family and friends, losing a business, regaining health, and redirecting a life. And along the way there were lots of tears, laughter, love, and faith. It is a transformation story more that a survival story. It is a story I now feel compelled to tell.
