Have put four smart, experienced women around a kitchen table, once a month and what you do?

When Deborah Collins Stephens, women get Jackie Speier, Michealene Cristini Risley and Jan Yanehiro, finally a great book. This is not the life I ordered, is about the survivors of unexpected challenges living hands.

Between them the authors through six marriages, ten children, four stepchildren, two miscarriages, a failed adoption lived widowhood and foster parent. One was shot and left for dead. Two survived their spouses. You have built businesses and lost business. You learned financial wealth beyond your expectations and close to financial ruin. By all support each other.

Sprinkled with quotes, stories and cartoons, this is not the life I ordered gives you "50 ways to keep your head above water when life keeps dragging you down."

Here are some strategies:

A meeting of the kitchen table to convene friends.

Meet regularly with a small group of friends who you trust and admire. Choose a comfortable meeting place with privacy. Have to answer all these questions in turn:

So how is your life?
How can we help?
Who do we know, who can help?
What are you happy moment in your life?
What there is to laugh?
When we leave here today what three things, which we celebrate each other we will do for ourselves?
Keep positive meetings and hold regularly. You'll be surprised what each of you will achieve that.

Ready make, huge mistakes.

People learn from their mistakes more often than you do of their success. Heads in the sand go your hidden, if you make a mistake. Think like a scientist: it's all trial and error. You'll be a lot of things wrong on your way to get something important right.

Listen to your inner voice.

Call it female intuition if you want, women are actually more intuitive than men. Stay connected with your emotions. Their "gut feel" you can often more successfully than any number of apparently logical self-talk. Keep on that little voice inside matched. Listen, if he speaks, and according to acting.

Recognize that chocolate melts to give a new shape.

Can it times in your life when you have to reinvent itself. People who were hit by Hurricane Katrina her life before their eyes torn away. If this happens, it's hard to know who to trust or what to do. The times when it's good to remember that can melt chocolate, but sooner or later there are reforms in a new form. The new shape can be stronger and better: it is certainly just as tasty. Remember always to be happy and look forward to your next shape.

These are just some examples of words of wisdom in this is not the life I ordered. Obtain a copy of your local library, or buy it at your favorite bookstore. It is to have a good book near if you're feeling down, or if you feel better just some great stories and advice for you.
