She even took note of little things she felt that others took for granted…and then the roof caved in. She was downsized out of her job of 23 years and escorted out the door the same day. She was forced to find a new purpose for her life at 45 years of age. Thankfully, Dena had a very wise little dog to help her navigate these challenging times. A dog that helped her overcome the blues and learn to cope with change, rediscover how to appreciate the little things and how to laugh again. Because Brinkley was an “old soul” who was good at bearing up under tough circumstances himself, he taught Dena patience in affliction and to forgive others in the midst of it all. And because dogs live in the moment, he was also a good example for Dena in that respect. With the help of Brinkley and her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Dena came out on top. She has now found a very rewarding career in patient care, where she is able to make a real difference by helping people and shining God’s light each day. This is her second book. She also authored a book of inspirational poetry, “Inspired by the Master”.view less
