Amanda Fosters husband up and left her with forty thousand pounds worth of debt having gone bankrupt for the second time. He left no note as an explanation to why he was leaving her or apology for all the debt he'd created. She dealt with the bankruptcy and speaking to accountants etc by herself while living in one room that a friend put her up in.
Despite all this, Amanda credits her misfortune as her fortune. Because her husband left her she was able to start again and find her true self at 40. Living authentically for Amanda meant coming to the realisation that she was not actually meant to be with a man, her confidence grew as a result of all she had already dealt with and she was eventually able to find true love with another woman. As she puts it, love took her to Salisbury but she then fell in love with Salisbury. Since moving to Salisbury Amanda has been able to start again, as a valued member of the community she has also gone on to become a local Councillor and the Chamber of Commerce Director. The BeGlad project is aiming to collect 100 stories of good coming out of bad and reasons to be glad by the end of 2018 to help support each other with our experiences and to raise money for the Samaritans and Action for Happiness. If you would like to donate it would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you! https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/beglad

My symptoms started at the age of 46. My fingers on my left hand were stiff and were difficult to move. People noticed that my walk was not normal. I was often asked did I hurt. I noticed something different about my walk. It was difficult getting up from` a chair and getting out of a car. I was diagnosed a year later and i have to find a better solution and was introduced to try the help of herbal formula. I am now 59 tho and am fully cured from Parkinson's disease. Leave a Reply. |
