From the Ashes Flies the Phoenix

Happily married with two young sons, Gretta Krane's life seemed to be one of physical comfort, financial security and fun times, until the night when all that changed. In one moment, Gretta went from being a wife to a widow; the transformation that grew out of her tragedy took much longer. It began with Gretta questioning everything she grew up believing and challenging every important decision she ever made. It led her on a journey where a terrible tragedy became a catalyst for growth and happiness. It put her on a path in which lost hope was regained and lost potential was found.

In "From the Ashes Flies the Phoenix" Gretta's story inspires you to set out on your own journey of self-discovery and triumph. By revealing how she made changes happen, Gretta helps you see and believe that you can make changes, too.

If you've struggled to move forward and you've grappled with questions like:

• How do you shift from stuck to unstuck?
• How do you overcome old beliefs that limit you at every turn?
• How do you find your way on a path that leads you to discover your dreams?

Gretta shows you a path, points you in the right direction and gives you a gentle push to get you started. And when you reach your desired destination, perhaps, like Gretta, you, too, will also see nothing but possibilities in life.
