The author is a survivor of the past! Rather than choosing to grow into a mean-hearted, greedy and jealous old lady, like the woman in this book who wasted her precious life, she has chosen to live empowered by what is good in life. She lives in a lovely little village in the heart of the rain forest on a tropical island where she swims with the dolphins, grows an organic garden, loves her animals and friends, teaches Buddhism, does yoga, and paints abstracts.
