So, what’s it like trying to resuscitate your writing career after your life crashes and burns. You rise like a Phoenix from the ashes, that’s what. No easy feat, let me assure you.
The last five years have been a series of tragic losses and of God given restoration for me. First there was that terrible car wreck that left me totally blind and unable to walk without assistance. Praise God for his grace and mercy on me in restoring my eyesight and helping me push through what would be years of rehabilitation.
That rehab led me to two major weight loss surgeries, and I am happy to announce that I have lost 170 pounds. WOW! I can hardly believe it myself. I still have more surgery coming and more weight to lose but I am well on my way. Again, Praise God for restoring my health.
Then came the end of my 35-year marriage. I cannot describe the heart wrenching decision I had to make to save my own life. I was dying and I spent weeks in the hospital before I realized my marriage was truly over. Unless you have been through this travesty you cannot begin to understand the depths of despair and the thousand little deaths you die going through it. The losses just keep mounting and the grief is overwhelming.
Now I am living completely on my own. Taking care of myself, with the Lord at my side and if he is for me than who can stand against me, right? I look back on the darkest of times in my life now and marvel at how the Lord brought me through it. I don’t know that I would have survived it without my faith in Him, who never left me nor forsook me.
This long journey has taught me to appreciate the people in my life. I thank God each day for all my readers and loved ones.
Finally, after three years I have a new book coming out just in time for Christmas 2022. A Highland Second Chance Christmas. Look for it on Amazon.
