Day 180 of impactful experiences making you smile – After a divorce-Writing a book, Creating a self-help group and Going abroad to study

Meet my girlfriend Vandana, a woman who creates a life of her choice. She was a naïve girl married into a very reputed business oriented family. Things did not work out well with her spouse and she she managed to garner the courage to get a divorce after facing a lot of challenges.

Her life had come to a standstill. She still did not give up hope. She decided to form a group of people in similar situations like her and they continued to give each other support post their own divorce phase. This self- help group became bigger and stronger over the years. She also had the guts to write about her own traumatic yet triumphant journey about her divorce.

And she simultaneously took up a professional assignment to manage her living.  Writing, compering, doing social service, anything that kept her constructively occupied was done will full passion! She even made an impressive dossier of her professional achievements.

Once when she attended a study abroad exhibition, her case caught the attention of a foreign university professional. He encouraged her to take up a management course abroad, and even offered her an on campus job, to supplement the tuition fee and other costs!

My friend Vandana’s life is a fine example to show that anything is possible at whatever stage of life you are.

So who are the people who made you feel you are never alone?
Please share the impactful experiences that made you smile.
