WAKE
UP
your life!
A woman's
guide to real personal power
|
What
would you do if you had
three major relationships in your life and the same woman interfered in
all three of them?
How
would you handle it?
This is what
happened to Doris Roper.
First, her husband of two years, *Tom, fell in love with this woman,
*Candy and in the midst of trying to decide what to do about it,
Doris became pregnant with her first child and the decision was made to
continue with the marriage.
More than five
years later, the marriage ended in a very difficult divorce
and Doris entered her next major relationship with *Dick. Two years
into this relationship, Doris discovered that he was cheating on her
with
Candy. She was shocked and devastated, but this became the starting
point of an inner journey that woke up her life.
Some years
later, Doris entered her third major relationship with
*Harry which lasted almost three years. Her personal growth brought her
to the point where she realized
that she did not “need” a man to be happy and she broke up with Harry.
He was shocked and hurt and on the rebound – wait for it, you guessed
it – he
married Candy!
The growth and
insights gained as a result of her experiences, put
Doris where she is today—with a fabulous marriage, a challenging and
fulfilling profession, and a story that inspires and motivates other
women to follow her example.
*Names have been
changed to protect the (not so) innocent.
WAKE UP your life!

Reviews
Wake up your life inspired me in so many ways. I think
most women go through life with their eyes shut and try to find the
answers in all those around us when in fact the truth lies within us
all. I strongly believe that if you live your life in the
past, you die in the future and the " dont regret, look forward" phrase
used in the book reflects exactly that.
Wake up your life guides you through a soul searching
experience and it truly motivated me and made me realize all of us have
a purpose in life no matter how bad things may be. Everything happens
for a reason. We just need to open our eyes, change any negative way of
thinking, find our purpose and use the inner strength inside to go for
it. The book motivated me to take action in my life and I
truly believe this is a must for all women.
A Reader,

 Wonderful Resource for Women going through
Transition
I think any woman going through transition would enjoy
the humor and wisdom imparted on these pages. |

Life transitions are notoriously difficult for many
women--lacking both self-confidence and financial independence, many stay in
situations that are far less than ideal. Doris Roper has created a book
that helps women through these transitions, building self-confidence as well as
financial knowledge.
Wake Up Your Life isn't your typical advice book,
although there is plenty of that included! Ms. Roper has included smart
women quotes to encourage and illustrate her points. She has added
interactive exercises, both in dealing with the transitions and in
self-evaluation. Using down-to-Earth language, Doris Roper explains how
and why each step is important, making it possible for the reader to more
easily follow the steps.
I was impressed with the amount of information included in
this book. I felt it was worth the time and effort to read. Personally
being a strong, independent woman, I figured it would be a light read, but I
found myself learning and discovered some things I never realized.
This is a book to be read by every woman, no matter where
you are on your life path. Once you have worked through the exercises and
reached the end, you will feel as though someone has gently taken your hand and
led you through the darkness into a new light of self-confidence and
independence.
This book definitely gets seven colors on the Rainbow Scale

I hope that there is something in my story that inspires you to reach
that point where life is full and healthy and relationships are
fulfilling rather than dramatic.
I wish you an exciting and powerful journey. Look for me on the road as
you travel - I'm still out there!
