An excerpt from my memoir, Light at the End, An Odyssey of Faith and Reawakening of a Life:

No matter what you may think, change is good. It makes you see things from a different perspective. The fear of change is that broken part of you that God can help you fix. Change can prepare you for what God has planned for you. The step I made was the beginning, albeit flawed, due to my fears, of a new life. Learn from your mistakes and keep moving. Never stop wanting to be better.

Let it Go!

You cannot fix someone who does not know they are broken!

Bitterness

Don't stay bitter with the ghost of your past. Live in the spirit of the new day.

It will get better

You will cry a river now, eventually that river will become a pond, that pond will become a puddle, and that puddle will become a drop in the bucket and the start of something new!
