After a painful divorce from an alcoholic, I realized I lost track of who was I was and what I truly desired.\u00a0 I was un-conscious and living a life on auto-pilot. \u00a0\u00a0I was so focused for so many years on saving my husband, I lost me.\u00a0 I had to do some real digging to get myself out of this hole so I could \u00a0wake up from this sleepy state;\u00a0 and that is when I began to study what the laws of the universe really meant.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0I was willing to do whatever it took to \u00a0bring joy back into my life.\u00a0\u00a0 I signed up for classes, tele-summits, courses,\u00a0 and coaching programs with some of the greatest masters of our time such as Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey.\u00a0 This experience really resonated with the saying, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yogalifenh.com\/philosophy\/teachings\/29-when-the-student-is-ready\">When the Student is Ready, the\u00a0Teacher Appears.&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0 Everything was unfolding perfectly&#8230;&#8230;People, places, and things were showing up in miraculous ways.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I learned was we \u00a0are all \u00a0so much more than what we see in front of us.\u00a0 That&#8217;s right.\u00a0 There are invisible laws that are working in our lives that perhaps you can&#8217;t touch, see, or hear but they are there.\u00a0\u00a0 When you feel loss, let down, or not where you think you should be in your life, the Universe does have your back.\u00a0 I know this because once I became conscious again, let go of the pain from the past, and put myself in the mindset of action, amazing things began to happen in my life and that is when Wake Up Recovery was born.\u00a0 After deepening the dive into learning what all this meant, an invisible power came over me and through me (I like to call it infinite energy) which \u00a0allowed me to\u00a0 wrote this program;
