"I went from being a depressed, lost couch potato with no purpose [...] to finding my light again ..."

Before Lifebook, I was 54 years old married for the 2nd time, just celebrated our 15-year wedding anniversary. I have a 29-year-old son from my first marriage and 3 stepsons ages 27, 24 and 21. I have worked in the corporate world my entire life, customer service, credit, collections and now for the last 7 years I have been a fraud analyst/investigator which I do enjoy because I am really good at it. I am great at investigating, planning, putting the puzzle pieces together and I really do enjoy it, however, I have had a deeper spiritual sense/connection since I was a teenager that I was put on this earth to help spread love, light, and positivity in this world to make it better or at least to elevate the lives of others on this earth.
 
I have been searching my entire life for my purpose even though deep down I have really known all along what it is, I just had never spent the time on myself thinking about things, what I want, what I need or how to make it all come to fruition. I always felt a huge sense of service to others and thinking about myself was a selfish thing to do, so I didn’t.

I consider myself a creative, I was a dancer/singer growing up and my dream was to be a dancer on Broadway someday, well and to marry my heart throbs at the time, Donny Osmond or Michael Jackson, and I worked hard towards that goal through my teenage years until a skating accident ruined my knee and shattered that dream.

I fell into a deep depression, wanted to end my miserable life on this earth, my dream was shattered and nobody around me seemed to understand me about anything, not my family or friends. Spiritually my thoughts and outlook on things were different than everyone else around me and I felt like I was on a whole different and higher level of existence than they all were, and it was a lonely one.

I have had things happen to me throughout my years that I know there has been divine intervention that has saved my life or put me through situations to help me grow and with that a deeper feeling that I am meant to be here to do great things.

Creative endeavors have been my escape from the continued turmoil that keeps building in this world. My haven, positive, happy place and throughout my journey so far, I have used those talents to bring joy into the lives of others. I taught myself to sew and became a costume designer for local school theatrical programs, community theatre groups, and some professional dinner theatres in the area for 20 years.

I am a photographer, started out doing wedding photography for a few years but now concentrate on what I call Nature’s Art photography. Designing and creating bring me a great sense of accomplishment, peace, and contribution. In my late teens and early twenties, I used to love writing poems, songs, and stories and lost that passion over the years as life responsibilities and events sent me on a detour, but I am now finding that passion again.

I also consider myself a personal growth junkie, books, podcasts, webinars, seminars, courses and anything to help me learn, grow and live my journey on this earth to the fullest while being of service to others and searching for that eluding life purpose.

A few years ago, a friend of mine started dating a woman who upon my first meet I had a sense that I had known her my entire life, we were soul sisters and became the best of friends, my mission of spreading love, light and positivity was hers also and I finally felt I met someone vibrating at the same level as I and who understood me, and then last year a series of bizarre, negative and disturbing events took place. I was consumed in trying to figure it all out as I am an investigator. Was her mind being controlled, was she hooked up with a cult, was she mentally ill or suicidal, I read up on everything trying to figure out what was wrong and what I could do to try and save the soul sister that I felt was being consumed by darkness and ripped away from me. I had this horrible sense of despair, loss and defeat and by the end of October I was at rock bottom, felt like I lost myself, my deep connection with my husband, children, family and friends in the process. I had no idea who I was or where I was going anymore. I lost my true north and I had no idea how I was going to recover.

Then one day at the beginning of December a Lifebook post popped up on my Facebook page and the name really resonated with me. I clicked the link and listened to Vishen, Jon and Missy and I sat there and cried and knew in my heart divine intervention came into my life once again. I thought there is no way my husband was going to allow me to spend $500.00 on a course as he handled all of our finances but I think he saw the desperation in my eyes and he obviously saw the destruction of myself over the past year and he said yes if you think it will help.

Thanks to Lifebook, I went from a Lifebook Assessment score of 99 above average to 130 extraordinary, I improved in all 12 categories, some significantly. I went from being a depressed, lost couch potato with no purpose, always watching tv to finding my light again, my true north, my passion and finally recognize my true-life purpose. 

And now, my life has dramatically changed. I am happy, confident, driven and the people around me are noticing and have commented. I know what I want, why I want it and for the first time in my life I have vision and goals and I am already on my way to accomplishing them. I have lost 15 pounds since I started Lifebook, I am more disciplined, my body and mind are in a much healthier place. I do my yoga, I walk, I meditate, I write in my gratitude journal before I sleep every night. I am kinder, more thoughtful, intelligent, focused and know that I deserve an extraordinary life and I am going to help Jon, Missy and Mindvalley by continuing the mission of spreading love, light and positivity by educating others and creating awareness all over the world.

I have so much gratitude for all of you and I cannot thank Mindvalley, Jon, Missy, Alex, Kristi and everyone else behind the scenes for all that you do and have done to bring this course into my life, you are forever part of my family and I love you!

I am so looking forward to Lifebook Mastery and all that is beyond.
