To be 39 and to have never truly lived.
The yearning to belong took me by surprise.
Amazed, I felt the love for life spread, radiant,
to every corner of my being.
I was afraid, truly trembling, at the sheer thought of all things new.
The love for my child,
the curiosity of how my new life might turn out.
These passions, and others, continuously
fuel me with a desire to do whatever it takes.
Also, unexpectedly, I was overwhelmed by a pulsating,
humbling reverence for our wondrous Earth.
Daily, and despite my fears, I keep on choosing life.
This is a tale of how I live differently than I have ever done before,
and, Dear Reader, of how I seek out the courage to manage it.
Now I tell of the planting of roots and of my soaring aspirations –
all in a deep-felt realm of gratitude, hope and trust.

FörfattareLotten Säfström
erpOwnsPrice Kort BeskrivningLotten Säfström, born May 16th 1966 in Borlänge, Sweden, is an author, lecturer and publisher.
She is based at her own company, Salto De Vita.
Her life's work is to be part of the widespread movement of people around the world who are trying to learn what causes addiction and, most importantly, how to create a life-style that makes staying free of mind-altering substances more attractive than relapsing.
In her own words: “It is very important for professionals to research the physical and psychological hows and whys of this deadly affliction. For the victims in the wake of substance-abuse, though, a crucial thing is learning how people who have this disorder can begin to live a life where relapse does not become an option. Victims of addiction are also the children, relatives, friends and those devastated by crimes committed by abusers of alcohol and other drugs. We already know how to diagnose this deadly, and in so many ways, harmful disorder in the very early stages of its progression. Now, an even stronger focus needs to be put on continuing to implement this knowledge, in order to develop further the strategies that will decimate the awfully high numbers of those who suffer because of addiction.”
Lotten is also an advocate for bringing education about healthy emotional development into school in order to give future generations a ground-breaking head start in personal health and adult responsibility.
The authors' books “I Only Wanted to Dance” and “Now the Dance has Begun” are written with the intention of relaying support, solace and hopefully inspiration to those living, caring for or working in the proximity of people with an addictive disorder.
Her literary works may also be of interest to people who have found the desire to give up that lifestyle and will, possibly interest those who are still suffering from active addictive patterns.
These books are written for adults but, with adult supervision, teenagers can benefit from reading them too.
