"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
I didn't believe that for a long time, but now I know it's true. After two years of riding a brutal and unpredictable emotional roller coaster, I can finally say, "I'm happy, free, and stronger than ever." HIP HIP HOORAY! Or as my sister, Laurie, would say, "Go My Life!"

LIFE IS GOOD
Life is once again beautiful, fun, exciting, and filled with great possibilities. I'm currently:
- Pursuing my music. (Again!)
- Taking yoga classes. (*OM*)
- Going back to school for Criminal Justice. (Look out, bad guys!)
- In a healthy and happy relationship. (Thanks, honey!)
- Taking piano lessons. (Learning how to read music - YIKES!)
- Doing a Communications Course through Landmark Education. (Transformational work is good for the heart, mind, and soul.)
- Finishing edits on my latest book!!! (Can't wait to query again!)

TOUGH TIMES?
My advice to anyone going through a difficult time:
My advice to anyone going through a difficult time:
 |
| Me w/some people who love me: Mom, sisters Michelle, Sharon, Laurie, & Dad. |
- DON'T GIVE UP on yourself or on life. (Don't let the bastards get you down!)
- LEAN ON PEOPLE who love you. (It makes them feel better, too!)
- LOVE YOURSELF & YOUR LIFE. (There are brighter days ahead!)
- When you're going through hell, KEEP GOING. (per Winston Churchill)
- HANG IN THERE long enough to get past the pain. (You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel.)
- You will GET THROUGH IT. (And life will be better than ever!)

Thanks Deb! I'm inspired by you and your process. I'm impressed with all the new things you are taking on as they all seem to be very much aligned with your passions and talents. And, most importantly, I'm jealous of your new piano.
Excellent post! It's a topic I know a little something about, too. In the darkest days, it's hard to imagine that things will get better, but you and I are living proof that they not only get better, they get better than EVER!
XOXO
Glad you are happy and excited for all of the adventures you are having! :)
LLLLL, When you come visit, I promise you can play my "new" piano. ;-)
Linda, Yes, we are living proof! I'm so happy for you as well. *smooch!*
Julie, Thank you, my dear. Couldn't have done it without you. ;-)
Karen, Isn't it amazing that you can be a musician your whole life, but not know how to read music? Still don't know if I'll get there, but I'm giving it the old college try. ;-)
Hi my friend...thank you for visiting me! It is all the way you look at things isn't it?! Hugs. xoxo
Koralee, Indeed it is. ;-)
Sometimes the only for things to get better is to go through them, but there are rewards for those who do.
At least that is what I tell myself.
Jack, What is the alternative? Feeling like a victim or worse. Time heals all, but time takes time. All best to you on your journey.
You are a true heroine, Debbie!
Sarah, Hah! But, thanks for the compliment. xoxo
I think back to when I started reading your blog and now. Wow. You have traveled so far. In every possible way. It is a beautiful thing.
Robin, Wow - thank you so much. Life is just a journey, right? The key is to do our best and try to inspire others along the way. ;-)
