Love Living Today

We all have challenging moments in our lives and it’s what we do with them that makes a difference in

both our lives and for those around us. To the core of my soul, I believe in living life to the fullest

every day and endeavor to do so. 3 of my most challenging times have been – raising a mentally challenged daughter; leaving my homeland and wealth to start life in a strange country; getting divorced after 25 years and starting over again with nothing. At this point I just wanted my life to end.

It’s clear that it didn’t or I wouldn’t be here sharing with you! How did I get through these times in my life? Not always too successfully, but I always rose above it:

*   With my mentally challenged daughter I leaned hard on God for strength. I exercised consistently and watched my diet carefully. I received much needed help and support from my friends.

*   Leaving my homeland was a traumatic experience for me and I worked hard at whatever I could, did the best that I was capable of every day, learning as much as I could about all I could. I wrote my first book, became a Corporate Trainer in the hotel industry and now have my own business.

*  In my 25 year marriage, I did the same. Worked hard at it, but the lack of equal respect for me, finally dried me up. I fled form God, crashed, divorced, went to counseling and finally learned to take care of me in healthier ways. I am now in a marriage of equal respect where both our dreams are being reached. And of course – we laugh a lot!

This core value of living life to the fullest each day has permeated each day, through every challenge and facilitated decisions  and to make changes to do so.

I know you have a story too and want you to know that I’ve made it through and that you can too. There’s so much to enjoy, achieve and share!
