Everything Happens for a Reason?
November 8, 2011
Arianna Huffington spoke at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards and reminded the audience that- sometimes- the biggest heartbreaks can lead you down a path to even greater things.
She said, "I was living in London and I had been dating this guy for 7 years. I wanted children, and he wanted cats. So I broke up with him and moved to New York, when I was 30. And everything I have in my life now -- my daughters, my site, my career -- I have because a guy wouldn't marry me. The biggest heartbreaks in life, that seem insurmountable: when you look back, you see that it was all for a reason."
I could go on for days about how (what I thought were) tragedies have shaped my own life. After experiencing career setbacks, lost loves, family issues and just about everything else you can think of, I finally realized that things REALLY do have a way of working out.
Have you ever come through a job loss, break-up, accident or something else that seemed catastrophic at the time, but that you now consider a blessing?

Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter
HancockAs a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book. It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more
