My Sons Death Taught Me How to Live
Just after midnight, June 20, 1988, the phone rang, startling me from deep sleep. "Tonys been shot!", a voice shouted. Totally stunned, my first thought was: I must be dreaming; this cant be true!" But, it was true: unfortunately, I was wide awake.
North Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) March 30, 2005 - Just after midnight, June 20, 1988, the phone rang, startling me from deep sleep. "Tonys been shot!", a voice shouted. Totally stunned, my first thought was: I must be dreaming; this cant be true!" But, it was true: unfortunately, I was wide awake. I remember the 40-mile, 80+ mph drive to LA from Orange County, CA, the eerie silence of the hospital lobby as I ran in, and those heart-stopping words, Tonys dead!" NO", I screamed, You're lying!" This could not be: My first-born and only son, gone! He had died before I could say I love you, before I could say good-bye. The room started spinning, then everything went black. And my life went downhill from there.
This was the nightmare Lyn Williams found herself plunged into, with the simple ring of a phone. She didnt know at the time that her son had died instantly, before her phone ever rang. Yes, Tony was just one more victim of the drive-by shootings that plagued and terrorized South Central Los Angeles year after year. But, the horror didnt end there. During the next few months, Lyns entire life turned into living hell as she mourned the deaths of additional close family members and became a victim of domestic violence, substance abuse, and divorce. Over the next seven years, she endured five separate trials and re-trials of the man who had murdered her son. But, that was then, and this is now.
Today, Lyn Williams celebrates life: her own life, and her sons. She realizes now that it It was Tonys death that really taught her how to love courageously and unconditionally, to survive the seemingly impossible turmoil, trauma and pain, and to forgive the past, in order to be free. Now, at the age of 53, shes started a brand new life as owner and CEO of two new companies. Based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, her companies, www.QueenForMoreThanADay.com and www.ForgivenessIsFreedom.com are now online. They provide women with information, inspiration, and tools for personal development and empowerment. Thanks to the Internet, women now have one place they can go to find everything they need to start up their life again ─ or for the first time.
On these sites youll find Lyns latest e-books, streaming video excerpts of her talk on forgiveness, affirmations, informative articles and tips. Very soon shell be adding interviews from her mentors (two best-selling authors on real estate investments and Chicken Soup stories), plus other business associates and established professionals from various industries.
One year ago, Lyn walked away from a 33-year career in Information Technology and a six-figure income to follow her hearts call. Now, as a real estate investor, speaker and writer, shes looking forward to helping others pursue their dreams of freedom and joy.
After recovering from the many dramas and traumas that seemed to define her life, shes finally found the avenue to do what started that night her son was killed, 17 years ago.
Thanks to her skills in Information Technology, Lyn can now spread her message to women everywhere. That message is: No matter whats happening to you now, or in the past, you can create the life you want. You can overcome any pain, any violation, any mistake...if you can open your heart to the truth of who you really are. You are a creation of the Divine." After all, as the old saying goes, God Dont Make No Junk!!"
Lyns mission is to teach every woman wholl listen how to break through by releasing all the hurt and pain, which will finally set free the heart and mind. Its simple, but its not easy ─ and its virtually impossible to do alone. But, using the tools and methods she teaches, the willing heart can be free to experience new energy, a new life.
Today, more and more women are deciding to start new lives and to live them the way they want to. Everyday women everywhere are saying, Enough! I want a better life and I want it NOW!" Following your heart and living your dreams are the new trends for the woman of the 21st century, and its about time.
