We live in a fast-paced world. Like many, you may find yourself busy and rushing all the time. Responsibilities are endless. It seems there's too much to do and too little time to do it. When things happen that break our hearts, the expectation is that we just "get over it" and keep going. Yet, that's much easier said than done. Society says "get over it," but doesn't tell us how or give us tools. I know because there was a time when life had broken my heart. Graduation blues, a dream deferred, and a financial crisis put me in a place of deep hurt. I was in Lo-Debar, the place of "no thing," a hard place, a difficult place, a place I'd never been before. I did, however, have a roadmap that I developed that helped me through challenging times (death of my parents, health issues, job loss, divorce). Once I began to put these tools in place, things began to change. No longer in Lo-Debar, I am eager to embrace life in its fullest. I don't tell you this for therapeutic venting, I tell you this because I've learned a thing or two. I know what it means to "Take Back Your Life: How to Break Through When Life Breaks Your Heart."
