Are you frustrated because your dream hasn’t come true? When you took actions that didn’t work out did you get stuck? Are you tempted to abandon your dream forever? Don’t! Another choice can lead you to ultimate happiness.
Author Janet Wolanin Alexander has been there and knows how you feel. In her memoir At Home on a Horse in the Woods she shares how alternating bouts of pursuit and denial became incredibly paralyzing. FInally, on the verge of abandoning her dream forever, a powerful moment of truth broke her pattern and set her free.
Although your dream may be different than hers, her memoir will show you:
– Why the desires of our heart are meant to be followed and not forgotten
– How to turn frustration and stagnation into transformation
– And that every dreamer needs support in order to succeed.
Get unstuck and back on your journey. Now it the time to start living your ultimate dream!
