No More Divorce for You and Me

About this ebook
I am writing this book not to be perfect but to be helpful. The best way to understand the book is to think of each chapter as an individual story or lesson learned. In fact, the best way to use it is to either a) just open up to a page; or b) look at the index to find the subject for which you are looking.
Nothing in this book is theory, I actually experienced everything. I am one of those people who failed their way forward in life until I finally became the person of whom I am proud.
I have intentionally not gone into minute detail because I want you to read it, think about it, and come to your own conclusion(s).
Someone who has written a book has always held a place of awe with me. Because of my own experiences and highly limited beliefs, it never dawned on me that I could write a book.
This all changed when I came down with a dose of cancer and started throwing off all the anchors holding me as a person, down. All of a sudden the book was just for me; it didnt have to look or feel a certain way; and I didnt care if a single book was ever sold.
I just wanted to be an author! And here is the result. I sincerely hope you enjoy and learn from my own journey through the years.
Experiences are good and bad,
just that. They are something
I went through, learned from,
and survived. However, by
sharing these experiences and
allowing people to learn from
them, I give them value.

Mariya Omelicheva (Masha)…Has shown me what the true meaning of a friend looks like. A beautiful woman inside and out.
Brian Buffini…Briaris biggest contribution, among so many, was to show me how to lead a balanced life and how to recognize when it is unbalanced.
