One thing thati ink will be am so important for people to hear from you is in your book. You mentioned one thing you can't change is the past, and there has to be an acceptance around that. I would love to hear about how you found acceptance in that, and how you came to how you found peace in what happened. Just one sentence and forgive yourself. So i like to live in a present. The question is not, why me? The question what now? Because the past is gone and the future is not yet.
