So many of us are not
living the lives we truly desire. For a long time, that was my
story.
As is true for so many
people, I lived through a difficult childhood. My parents, like
most of us, they did the best they could. Nevertheless, our home
life was filled with violence and alcoholism. My dad had grown
up during the depression, and he had a lot of issues about money.
We careened back and forth from having lots to having very little.
There was little financial security, and no emotional security.
I married young, and by
the time I was twenty-seven, I was divorced with two children to
support. I adored my daughter and son, of course.
As they grew
up, they brought me both great joy and pain. For many years I
struggled financially, sometimes working two or three jobs.
Although I was a counselor and very good at helping other people, I
couldn't seem to find the loving relationship I wanted for myself.
Over time, a few mentors
and authors shared with me the keys to success. Today, I'm making a
generous income doing work I love. I'm married to an amazing
man whose goals and dreams complement my own. Together, we've
built a close, loving family that includes our children and
grandchildren. Now, whenever I have the opportunity, I share
these principles with others. There is a a beautiful,
amazing world of possibilities out there for each of us, once we
possess those keys.
Right now I'm in the
process of developing materials you can use to find your own keys to
success. Stay tuned!
