Peggy's Story

thought I SHOULD be, but ME, the real, honest-to-goodness ME. That was amazing and life-giving; probably the best thing I've ever done in my life. And it's fun and, amazingly, the other people in my life are surviving my "real self" just fine. I also needed to figure out what I really wanted to do in life, and then just do it. I've always wanted to do work that would support women, and I'm doing it now in my writing. I'm also in training to be a personal and business coach, and love every minute of it.

I look forward to every day of my life now. My joy is back and I feel my old energy. My soul has returned, and, although I would not ever go back to where I was, it has made me appreciate the good times even more. It may sound odd that I arrived in this place through the darkness of a severe depression. Yet I can appreciate the experience. I am reminded of that Dickens novel, Tale of Two Cities, which begins: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Having been through the worst, I can now fully appreciate the best.
