Everyone bumbles along, doing the best they can. A few years back, I bumped into someone I hadn't seen for a long time, and he asked how I was, before wrinkling his nose and nodding vigorously.

"Turmoil? Yes..it's like that for all of us. It's not till you look back and see what a beautiful dance it was, though it may ahve felt dreadful at the time.!" His words summed up very accurately my own experience; in the previous year my whole life had disintegrated before my eyes. Business, family, relationship, home, all of it was gone. I had my children, myself, and 2 car-loads of possessions. I was broken, and wandering in the wilderness.

But it was so freeing. From the ground up I was able to totally rebuild my life, to take control of it in a way I was happy with. I got a house for my children. I furnished it. I grew, I strengthened, I learned. And now, having had the experince, as things are happening I can react, I can pre-empt, create the life I want because I have discovered my own power, my ability to steer, to see everything as an opportunity to Live Beautifully.

It works for me!
