Hi Liz: Thanks for asking. My book is not available in Spanish at this time but I'm looking into getting it translated.

Hi Darrell:
Yes, I'm currently planning the Something Gained audio book production and I'm on schedule to release it Q1 2018--early to mid-March.
Right now, I do have the essential content as you call it available on video in an online course I developed called My Divorce Recovery Kit (available on www.DebPurdy.com) it predates the book by a few years and the info isn't in the same order but there is a lot of overlap with the book.
Thanks for asking!
All the Best,
Deb

Right now I have ideas for three more books. I'm working on the outlines for each to see which one is the most insistent.

Just start. Exercise your writing muscle and it gets stronger. Also, find someone who writes better than you and get feedback on what you can do better.

I love everything about writing. I like the feeling, as I'm writing, that the words aren't so much coming from me as coming through me. Writing helps me feel my connection to something greater than myself.

Sometimes, there's nothing worse than that damn blank page. So, I just start writing anything that comes to mind. When I have a sentence or two down, even if they are terrible, it's a start. Somehow, it just starts to flow and by the second paragraph, I'm in.

Back in 2005, I was going through my own messy divorce. I was wallowing in a toxic cocktail of blame, anger, regret, shame, loss, failure, guilt and judgment. When I was in the depths, I experienced a tremendous shift. It dawned on me that my divorce was providing me with all of the raw materials I needed to recover, heal and thrive. I realized that my divorce was a big life "do over" only now I had more wisdom and experience to work with.
I completed a master's degree in spiritual psychology and used what I learned to reinvent my life and transform shame, blame and anger into peace, acceptance and personal power. Over time, I was able to build a cooperative co-parenting partnership with my Ex. Today, I’m not only at peace when it comes to my divorce but I’m also grateful for all that I gained from the experience. The process I went through was so powerful and transformational that I felt called to put it to together to help others.
