When Stars Align, Destiny Happens

It happened in the blink of an eye. Sounding fake for dramatic effect, I wish it wasn’t. The personal opening in “When Stars Align, Destiny Happens,” happened. It forced the first-time author to re-think everything after that nice balmy Hawaiian sunset dockside walk when the bottom fell out. When things changed forever.

My wife, a perfectly healthy woman one moment, the next, monitored 24/7 by the split-second barely conscious to the ER in an ambulance. She stayed almost two weeks when the hospital had no more ideas, seemingly normal from every test imaginable. To not know why, was a gut punch and scary. A year of rehab learning to walk, mending, and on high alert for another unexplained instant unconsciousness episode, this book was born to help.

After both us going through this and learning some hard life lessons, it seemed important to share with those in similar situations as well as anyone needing inspiration, where to start, and find new purpose when everything falls apart. How does one take action?  What are enrichment tools and how can they help move us to a new journey, to a better place.

There’s a club we all visit when we feel like our life is in the ditch. A club we never wanted to belong to but become members. Confused, depressed and scared, the right question needs to be asked, “What is important?”

The answer of course is simple. One doesn’t need to be a member of the hopeless club, we just need new awareness, a boost and new ideas come when we get a new perspective. Expressed poignantly in the by men, woman, and children of great character and strength. Some are known, most unknown tell their stories. Expressed through their actions, grit, toughness, and talents they all have something in common we all share.

Letting go and discovery is illuminated through survivors stories of hope and overcoming, voices we yearn to hear to ease our heart.

To make it to the other side.
