I can't tell you how many times I have been asked, "Is Jasmine Rice really your name?" The smart aleck in me always wants to respond with, "No, I had a fake ID printed with the name of a side dish just to mess with people." But instead, I smile and say, "Yes." The truth is that I love my name. Yes, I know jasmine rice is an amazing side dish, and that's exactly what I thought when I first began navigating my divorce. Here I was—Jasmine Rice—cooking up my own personal life recipe, searching for just the right ingredients. But this time, jasmine rice would be the main dish—the entrée in my own life instead of the side dish in a broken relationship.
I learned a lot as I created my life recipe—a recipe that I want to share with you. We all could use a good set of cooking instructions to help us navigate challenges in life. This book explores my journey and is a guide for you as you transform yourself. It’s a detailed recipe of my suggestions for finding your own ingredients, throwing out the rotten ones, and seasoning to fit your own taste. You get to pick and choose what works for you and the steps you need to take to rebuild yourself.
You, my friend, get to create YOUR own life recipe!
