Like you she was living her life with her own set of ever-changing standards and guidelines dependent upon the situation in front of her. Her upbringing was traditional and secure. Chaos ensued when she went from her home to marriage and life with a fraud. She was alone at age 30 with a child to raise, having had the audacity to file for divorce deep in the territory of a sub-culture who considered women to be property, without rights. Her dreams were put on hold while she struggled to learn a new career, make a home for her daughter, care for ailing parents, battle her own serious health issues with the promise that some day she would take her dreams off the shelf and finish them. She had a major Jesus Complex fed by people around her who came to her for solutions to their problems because she is an effective problem solver. She carried the weight of human train wrecks, allowing them to suck her life away. At fifty-nine she was finally so tired of the terrible load she laid it all down before Christ and said “if there is anything left of me that you can use, it is yours I am tired of the pain of my arrogance.” She writes a fast paced, passionate plea for others to examine their lives. Today she lives in peaceful singleness in a remote mountain town in Wyoming, finally beginning to lead the life she envisioned in her youthful dreams. She rents a one room cabin, “Granny’s Dorm Room”, on the river and is ready to write, blog, interact and learn with other searching souls.view less
