The odd thing about changing your life is that it doesn’t always begin quite where you expect it to ~ Lucy Kellaway

Whenever we reach a milestone, the question we get asked most often is — what next?

Even before you catch your breath or take a few moments to celebrate — publicly or privately, this question pops up.

I’m facing the same situation now.

It’s been a year since my book Rewriting My Happily Ever After, a memoir of divorce and discovery was launched. It makes me happy that my story of separation, divorce and rebuilding my new life as a single parent has resonated and helped many readers.

Even today I get heartfelt messages from women in similar situations who feel hopeful after reading my story and offer to buy me coffee or a meal when we meet in person. This is the high point for me.

Every such message makes my day

A big thank you to all readers who left reviews, reached out and recommended/gifted my book to those who needed it.

Reading a book is not the same as changing your life
