The book is about pain, resiliency and personal, bad ass growth! Let's face it, there is a lot of bad that happens throughout our lives. But it's how we choose to react to these occurrences that matters. Everything in life happens for us, to build us up, to make us greater than even we can possibly imagine. When you learn how to harness that mantra, you truly get to live. Em-bracing all the tragedy and finding beauty within these moments provide an opportunity to rise up and transform.

I wrote this book because when tragedy struck over and over I felt completely alone (even though I wasn't). I wanted to find someone that spoke to me like a human being and not a sympathy case. Someone that could relate to a small part of what I lived through. I'm not a victim, nor did I want to be seen as such, but I wanted connection and hope. So I wrote it! We get to walk together in all the ugly by stumbling, falling down hard, but then we get to lift our-selves up through many avenues of healing and acceptance. My passion is to help serve those stuck in suffering and turn that pain into absolute power. It can be done, I'm living proof and getting better every step I take. I'm not perfect and nor do I ever want to be, and that's because life is meant to be messy, full and free to be lived as YOU chose. We can all flip the switch by taking the bad and using it for good...that's resiliency, that's power and that's life!v
