This was the first step of the journey that would literally change her life. In that class, she formed new friendships and perspectives that empowered her to take the next step, and the next. Today Penelope is happily married. Looking back upon the journey that led her to where she is today, she became inspired to chart this path for women who are just like her-unlucky in love but unwilling to let go of their dream of being loved truly and well.Through a creative, multipronged approach (incorporating therapy, meditation, affirmation, drawing, singing, and various other practices) Penelope learned to love, accept and embrace her true self.
