Melissa’s husband passed away, when she was in her mid 40s. She knew she had to go on for her children. Initially, Melissa found herself on autopilot. She had a realization that she needed to live for herself, because life mattered to her. Melissa always wanted to be a novelist, so she took a bold leap of faith and became a writer/author/novelist. She shares the following nuggets of life wisdom:
- live for ourselves
- we need boundaries
- change and growth are always possible
- even a small step at a time gets us through it
- life is constant change
- we have the agency to make the changes we want to see in our lives
