Mary Pierce
HELP! MY LIFE IS A GAME OF TWISTER!
You know the feeling: the life you planned, a game of Life where all your dreams come true and you live happily ever after, has turned into a game of Twister instead. Someone else is spinning the dial and calling the shots. “Right hand red!” Traffic jam. Bad hair day. “Left foot green!” Tragedy. Sorrow. Before you know it, there you are, twisted like a pretzel, and trying very hard to remain upright.
Twisted sister (and brother), you are not alone! And there is hope! Laugh along with Mary Pierce as she takes a hilarious look at the Twister game of life. You’ll learn practical tools for untwisting yourself, gaining new perspective and finding greater peace.
