Turning Tragedy Into Triumph

Tweet

I read a book called "Life Through Lasagna Eyes" about a woman who lives through a mother's worst nightmare -- her daughter is shot on a street in Chicago and survives for a while before dying. While she is still alive, she says a few words to her Mom, which her Mom understands as a request to keep cooking her favorite dish -- lasagna. The Mom gets through the tragedy with cooking as her therapy. She eventually wins awards for her lasagna, and turns her passion into a successful business. She is now called "The lasagna lady of Chicago " Have you ever taken a painful situation and turned it around to become a triumph? What do you think about getting through a loss of a loved one, a pet, a relationship, a job or anything else that was a big part of your life or identity?
