Never Ever Give Up Hope

Yvonne Ortega is a bilingual professional speaker, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and the author of Moving from Broken to Beautiful:  9 Life Lessons to Help You Move Forward and Finding Hope for Your Journey through Breast Cancer. One of the books in her Moving from Broken to Beautiful deals with forgiveness.  In her interview, she shares the misconceptions about forgiveness which make it very difficult, if not impossible, to forgive.   Yvonne not only survived but thrived after a domestic violence marriage, divorce, single parenting, breast cancer, multiple car accidents, and multiple deaths in the family within weeks of one another including the death of my only child. She understands tragedy and why we must forgive those who have hurt us, in order to move forward. Moving from Broken to Beautiful: 9 Life Lessons to Help You Move Forward, includes a chapter entitled “Admit Your Mistakes.” I knew then I would write a third book in the Moving from Broken to Beautiful series, and it would be on forgiven
