Life has been hard. I’ve faced a lot of challenges over my lifetime. I had my first baby at 19 and two more by the time I was 21. Two failed marriages. Both ex-husbands had addictions of some kind. I’ve been broke and spent a night in jail. I’ve been in a car accident that almost ruined me. I’ve been dangerously close to ending my own life.And that’s not even the half of it.But I’m a survivor.

I tried a few years ago, but the words I wrote left me feeling depressed when I read them. Not quite the effect I was going for.Looking back, I realize I couldn’t write my book because my story wasn’t finished (it still isn’t!). Specifically, I hadn’t made it through all seven stages of overcoming life’s obstacles: Survival, Denial, Acceptance, Motivation, Confidence, Connection, Grace.Now I have. And my story is ready to be shared with the world.Am I saying you have to experience all seven before you live your purpose or dream? No. Not at all! You can be encouraged in knowing we all struggle with finding our purpose. Whether it’s our purpose in our jobs, our relationships, or a small project.Here is what I can tell you: “I’m not there
