This book is devoted to all women (and men) who have gone through many trials and tribulations in their lives, who have come full circle, and who have had to face life and situations as is-women who can put aside their play putty and know they cannot shape the world and control the situations around them. Women sometimes look at the world through rose-colored glasses, rather than realistically. Life is hard to the fact, therefore skewing the facts makes it easier to deal with life's troubles; hiding is at times more attractive than facing the reality of a situation. We as women must force ourselves to accept situations "as is" and have the strength and willingness to change with the situations and problems and accept and deal with heartaches that come into our lives. These situations and problems are like strong gusts of wind. Women often create a situation in their minds that makes dealing with life's tragedies easier-they will skew the facts to make their life less painful.
