I remember clearly setting up a time to meet with my children one on one in January 2010. I have 3 children, 2 daughters and 1 son. They are all adults now and I have 2 grandson's too. What I wanted to talk to my children about, was my mid life crisis. This crisis happened in 1997. It came out in the writing of a book I was working on, 'Are You Ready?' As I met with each one of them, one on one - tears came to my eyes and my voice started shaking as I shared my truth with them. I confessed that at one time, when they were teenagers I faced a huge crisis in my life.
They didn't know what to say or what to do. One in particular couldn't believe what I had just said and left in tears. One was compassionate. One was angry that I would want to put it in my book. As we discussed the feelings that arose within each one of us, my crisis turned into an awareness.
I became aware that my communication skills had changed and I was looking at my life without the 'poor me' little girl within perception of life. I had been set free to just be me, the 'rich me' woman I was created to be; and as I continued to get ready to publish my book the healing began.
As I took my stand for freedom I knew that it was God who had stirred up our lives to make our paths straight, so we could see clearly what He was up to and how He would reveal truth into our lives, because the little boy or little girl within seems to tell lies!!!
My husband and children supported me 110% at the book launch on April 3, 2011 as we laughed and shared our joy with our family and friends at DancEnergy in Calgary. If you were there and got a book, I hope you enjoy reading the book and see how much God loves you and realizing what He is up to in your life too. If you don't have a copy of the book call me at 403.473.2940 to get one today.
With Love & Encouragement,
