The world knows Denie Linn as the way-cool woman who wrote all those fabulous books about clutter clearing, Feng Shui and building beautiful altars in your home. In this book Denise opens her heart and shares the story of her life...and she does so in a way that will completely blow you away! The title of the book says it all...she has had so many events happen in her life that would have left many people wallowing in self pity and "poor me." But Denise shares her sheer RESILIANCE and ability to take whatever was thrown at her and build on it.

I devoured this book like a novel...it was that mesmerizing and compelling. I literally could not put it down. A couple of times I caught myself wondering how it turned out and I had to laugh, as I KNOW how it turns out. Her writing style is so personal, humble, yet not lessening the impact of the events.

If you are familiar with Denise's work, you probably know she was gunned down and almost killed by a total stanger in a completely random act of violence. Well, that is just the tip of the iceberg on THAT part of her life. What happens after that is even more amazing and in parts shocking. Her story would be an amazing story without that part!

The bravery that Denise exihibts in sharing such a raw and, at times, heartbreaking story just leaves me speechless. From reading her book, I feel that no matter what has happened to me, I can overcome it. No matter what "other people" say or do, all that matters is what is inside ME. WHEW! I could go on and on, but I really just want to implore anyone who might be considering buying this book to just buy it.

I mean it when I say that the story of Denise Linn's life would make a fabulous movie...it is just that empowering.

This book takes you through Denise's life from childhood all the way to almost the present time. The writing is well done. She has done so many things and if your are interested in new age spirituality or healing you will love this book. It is all an excellent book about a personal journey. I thouroughly enjoyed it. I have attended one of Denise's seminars via Hayhouse.com and can tell you from experience you will feel the healing that comes from her seminars.

This is a definately a good book that I believe you will enjoy.
