Our Story

Get Better Not Bitter was born through the struggles of my own life. I found myself divorced, a single parent, starting my life over. I was 37 years old without a job and going through a painful divorce. I had given up my financial independence and my dreams for my family, a decision I did not regret, but found that I had handicapped myself through a series of decisions. I remember vividly a turning point where I was so angry, so unhappy, and realized that I did not ever want to feel this way again. It was this decision to figure out a new, better way of life that set into motion a happier, healthier lifestyle. To Get Better, Not Bitter & Thrive!

Your dreams can become a reality if only you will believe. There often comes a time in life when we take a hard look at what we've done in life, whether or not our lives have meaning. We've suffered a loss, made mistakes or simply lack contentment. This is a  pivotal point, life is calling you too attention. The Universe wants you to be happy and fulfilled. If you are here on this site its not coincidence, it's time for a change. It's time for your dreams to become a reality.
