This special book has the power to be transformative, to change your life. It is the result of more than five decades of research, personal experiences and years of life in the trenches.

It is raw, deeply personal, to the point, and reflects a solid base of faith, support and compassion. It is a no nonsense, in your face, self-help book which challenges the reader to decide if they want to make their life more than just survival.

Our life needs to capture our heart and let it guide our choices as we create our life path. We need to learn how to reframe the bells in ways that bring positivity and hope to our lives.

To be clear, no matter which bells ring in our lives, ultimately, we are responsible for the impact they will have. It is up to us, no one else. We need personal, psychological, spiritual, intellectual tools and the ability to think and make choices outside of the box. We need to understand the difference between responding and reacting, between defending and taking responsibility for ourselves. We need to come to terms with our identity since we are our choices.

Life is now. If we desire a better life, the time is now to explore what that would really mean in the ways we approach life, people and pain. Look hard at the reflection of yourself in the mirror. If it's not what you want to see, it's time and possible to make changes. Become empowered to have the life and be the person you really want to be.
