How did I go from resisting change to embracing it? In a nutshell, I finally realized that I had to change or continue being miserable for the rest of my life. Once I decided I wanted to be happy instead of miserable (a big step for me), I looked at what was standing in my way and what I had to do about it. I looked at the rewards of changing and I faced my fears. I prayed and I acted. Before I knew it, changing became a new habit to replace the old habit of resisting change. I have been on a roll ever since and writing this book is just another way for me to expedite more changes. For now, you see, I am intimate with the process of changing. It is my most cherished companion on this journey we call life.

This rings so true for me as well Susan..for so long I felt I was destined to be unhappy, destined to live life in fear and not ever find peace..I based that on many things...
I see that change is possible and it no longer scares me as much anymore...I am on my own for the first time in my life...I went from crazy childhood to a not great marriage..I was miserable...
Thank you for this insight Susan
