"I have put in order my domestic finances, restarted investing in my family, especially my kids"

I don´t think I have that a dramatic story to tell, although pretty dramatic stuff has happened to me over the last 4 years: In only 2 years I had lost first my 17 year old dog, then in 3 months-time a brain tumor took away my father (one of the most important persons in my world), then my 98 year old grandmother died two weeks after her son, and a year later my 23 year old relationship came to an end, with my then husband leaving because he didn´t love me anymore… All that time I felt I was living on autopilot, trying to numb away all the pain. But as I have two beautiful sons and a beautiful young irish setter, I raised back up again and started over, leaning on my close family and friends and on my usual optimism and self-confidence: I sold our house, bought a house on my own, started a Masters degree on medical education, did a bit of a personal makeover and found myself a new challenge in my career (which will be finally starting this month). Nevertheless, after all this, I came to another obstacle on my road, as I finally allowed myself to feel the grief: I was stuck dwelling in pain, grief and self-pity all day…., using both my memory and my imagination to make me suffer , DAILY! That was when I turned to Lifebook. I was looking for structure, internal structure, a way of getting a grip on my life and regaining my usual inner strength. 
In these six weeks I started exercising again, eating much better, meditating, doing visualization exercises, I have put in order my domestic finances, restarted investing in my family, especially my kids, understanding finally, with all my heart and mind, that all I have is this present moment, and that I have to “microchange” to keep walking towards the life I want for myself! Also I loved Sandra´s relationship tips, which gave me hope to get my love life back on track, finding my soulmate, by keeping the space open for him to find me. You have been an inspiration to me and I am so grateful I found your add! You came directly into my heart, Jon & Missy! 

Thanks for your courage and kindness to expose your life to others so as to inspire us to be the best version of ourselves, in this beautiful quest that is LIFE! For the first time in a lot of years, at age 44, I feel self-conscious and have a clear, hopeful, precise vision of my present and future, those autopilot days definitely behind me!! Love Marta
