Alma Will is an immigrant who has called the UK home for over 20 years. At 43, she has emerged from years of an unfulfilling life and being in toxic relationships, grappling with unhealthy behaviours that once led her to despair and hopelessness. In her darkest moments, she turned to God for forgiveness and strength, seeking the courage to restart her life after 40. Through perseverance and faith, she reclaimed her independence and freedom – dreams she once believed were lost.

Though Alma never considered herself a writer, she discovered a passion for storytelling during her journey of self-discovery. Journaling became a powerful outlet for her emotions and experiences, allowing her to process her thoughts and reflect on her life.

This newfound love for writing not only facilitated Alma’s healing but also illuminated the complexities of her past choices. As an advocate for mental health and well-being, Alma hopes this book inspires other women to embrace change, confront the challenges in their lives, and pursue true happiness.

Alma believes life is magical, and that magic lies within each of us. We must find the courage to choose change and maintain faith in the journey, just as she has.

Alma has come to recognise that it is never too late to understand how the people in our lives can influence our paths – some may lead us into darkness, while others guide us towards the light. Ultimately, the power to choose your path is always in your hands. If she can overcome her challenges, so can you. Find your faith, ask, open your heart and be ready to receive the blessings life has to offer.

Each day is a precious gift, an opportunity to start anew. Let us cherish the chance to wake up every morning and make the most of it – because life is beautiful, and so are you.
