How’s this for a conundrum? I spent eight years writing a book about divorce, then when I finally reached those two magic words I’d been certain would never materialize on the page—the end—I discovered that I was expected to talk about it. A lot.
In my mind, once I put the story on paper, I’d never again have to relate this difficult time in my life. If someone had a question about my past, I could point them toward the nearest bookstore and say “Read the book.” I could move on to writing happier, made-up stories.
The last thing I wanted was to become a “divorce expert.”
But here’s what happened: I still don’t enjoy talking about divorce, or at least the painful, confusing, heartbreaking part of it. But I’ve found that I LOVE talking about what life looks like on the other side of it. (Or, for that matter, on the other side of any challenge, not necessarily divorce.)
That’s why I’m super excited to tell you about an upcoming event I’m having with my friend and fellow author Maureen Muldoon (The Spiritual Vixen’s Guide to an Unapologetic Life).
Maureen and I are hosting a live, no-agenda conversation on July 10 called Divorce Unscripted: Finding Your Peace and Power. We hope you’ll share your stories with us and allow us to weigh in with the reality check you need to turn one of life’s most difficult challenges into your greatest blessing.
Why “Unscripted?”
They say man makes plans and God laughs. Women don’t just plan—we dream, long for, and ache over every detail of our idealized lives, and when our hearts are broken, when partners leave us, lovers hurt us, and loneliness guts us, we have to come up with a new script, fast. Or choose to fearlessly live every messy, manic moment.
This is for you if:
- You are totally freaked out by an impending divorce and are having problems putting words together.
-
You want revenge but you know that your energy could be better used.
-
You have shame about the blind spots that have revealed themselves in the aftermath.
-
You have no idea what your next steps are but you’re ready to live in the beautiful unknown!
And though we are big proponents of the sisterhood, men are welcome too! I’ve been a little surprised at the number of men who have told me they were touched by The Buddha at My Table. One reader said that it helped him “understand the divorce from my wife’s side and how to be available to her in her healing.”
So whichever side of that fallen picket fence you’re on, please join us for this 60-minute conference call. Registration is $25 and one participant will be chosen randomly to receive a copy of each of our books.
If you can’t make the call, consider joining the conversation on our Facebook group. Let’s talk about how “the end” is never the end. And how moving on to happier stories is always inevitable.
