At age 51, WME author Hedria Lunken found herself lost in a world of senselessness. Paul, her husband of 32 years had died, leaving her with deep feelings of sadness and loneliness, but with life-changing events to plan and carry through—like her creativity consulting business and her daughter's just-announced wedding. Instead of giving in to despair, she found ways to re-create her world.
Built around a journal written to her late husband Paul and anchored in her skills as a professional Creativity consultant and trainer, Hedria's book Square One at 51: What I did the day after I buried my life, will make you laugh and cry. More importantly, it will help you get up and accomplish new things. Each chapter begins with Insights drawn from the experiences described in her journal entries and ends with a set of Tools (Reflections, Ideas for the Reader, and To Do exercises) to help you begin to re-create yourself. With compassion, humor, and practical advice, Square One at 51 will guide you step-by-step along the road of change to create your own successes, no matter what unexpected twists and turns you may face.
