<p>Who of us knows what lies ahead - what challenges and hurdles we may confront on our life's journey. What is it that enables some individuals to transcend the bad stuff while many others crumble and succumb to lives of ongoing misery? Is this something that is innate or is it something that can be learned? This is a story that will inspire and motivate you to be the person you want to be. It's a story of resilience and optimism - of how one woman came out of the shadowy and dark days of sexual abuse and fear, broken dreams and secrets, to achieve more that she imagined. Through her ongoing conviction that if she didn't lose sight of her dreams and didn't give up on achieving them, she'd achieve her long held desires. Feeling unloved, abandoned, betrayed, unheard and sexually abused for far too many years, she was forced to leave school and begin her working life before she was twelve. Through her ongoing spiritual quest - seeking the purpose for her being - she managed to leave her past behind her and became the person she knew she was meant to be.</p>
