<p>Your past does not have to define your future! It&rsquo;s a choice. If you&#39;re running from a monster, instead of looking over your shoulder, you&#39;ll cover more ground faster if you face forward in the direction you&#39;re moving. In Face Forward,&nbsp;Move Forward, the monster represents anything from anger, guilt and pain to shame, betrayal and worthlessness.</p>

<p>I learned to run&nbsp;away from the past, but toward what? How can I live a life 180-degrees different from what I&#39;ve known, what I had beaten into me?</p>

<p>Face Forward, Move Forward is a gut-wrenching and heart-warming story about reframing life to invoke positive outcomes. A Face Forward,&nbsp;Move Forward philosophy provides momentum to cultivate a life of happiness, peace and self-acceptance. Face Forward, Move Forward is also a story of redemption and fulfillment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The real heartbeat of the story is felt in the longing to live as more than a survivor, to take life on as a 'thriver.' Too many people are hurt by someone or something and merely survive day-to-day, going through the motions, missing hope, joy, and love. They miss becoming thrivers. &nbsp;</p>

<p>If you relate to the difficulty of overcoming past pain&nbsp;or you feel like your life is stuck in a rut, this stimulating combination of autobiography and personal how-to is for you.</p>
