Have you known dark places inside your heart and mind?

Have you thought, "Why am I not happy? Where's the joy? The passion?"

You are not alone. You have a life of love and joy waiting for you. You are worth it.

Sometimes we don't even know we can transform our lives until we see someone else doing it - watch them start, stop, fall down, brush off the sweat and tears.

Through this very personal look into one woman's transformative journey into a life of love and joy, she will show you that you are not alone. She will show you the first steps toward a life of happiness. She will give you what she has - her story - so that you too, can fly toward a life of your choosing.
