I'm Wanda Marie & Here's My Story

I Said "YES" to a Beautiful Joy Filled Life!
I have a beautiful life. I’m constantly being told that my life seems magical. And, I feel like I have it all. I have an amazing husband, great relationships with my kids, a lovely home in the Blue Ridge mountains of Asheville NC, plus a vacation home in Central Florida where we winter. I'm the author of four self-help books so far, and I've been helping women transform their lives for more than 25 years. At an early age, I learned to take back my power and take ownership of my life. I started with nothing, and have truly created a beautiful life for myself.
I grew up in South Central Los Angeles. My parents were barely able to keep a roof over our heads. Mom was a raging alcoholic always armed with a knife and a gun, both of which she used. My step-dad felt it was his duty to try and tame her by challenging her to fist fights that often led to bloodshed. He also felt it was his duty to start teaching me about sex from age 5 until I turned 10 and found the courage to speak up. My mother refused to believe what was happening and suggested I didn't speak of this to anyone. I was shut down, my voice unheard, my heart ached.
At 17 I left home, pregnant by the boy next door, got a job at Job Corps and vowed to never return home again. My baby's father begged me for months before I finally said yes and married him. I was too messed up mentally and emotionally to say yes when he first asked. I didn't trust him, I didn't trust men. I didn't trust myself, I didn't trust anyone.
I was so depressed, I eventually sought therapy – that didn’t help. It didn’t answer the questions I had. What’s it all about? Why was I in so much pain? I started seeking truth. What is love? What is God? What is real? Who am I, and why am I here? I read the Bible cover to cover twice! I studied various world religions and different spiritual practices. Back in the day, there was a metaphysical bookstore on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles called the Bodhi Tree. I lived at the Bodhi Tree for there I could hang out, sip tea, read and study different theologies as well as attend seminars and workshops on spirituality.
I read every spiritual and metaphysical book I could get my hands on. I went to every free workshop I could find and listened to audio lectures from spiritual "New Thought" leaders. I learned that we create our own realities. Wait – What! You mean I created the horrible environment I was brought up in as a child. What! You mean we choose our parents? It all began to make sense once I was willing to take full responsibility for my life’s experiences – which sounds totally crazy! But I kept studding everything and over the years, I mastered how to use the Universal Laws and Spiritual Principles that govern our lives to take back my power from the pain of my past. This once trauma stricken little girl from a totally dysfunctional household became a very empowered young lady who has created a beautiful and magical life for herself.
Of course I learned how to create material things such as wonderful homes, cars, vacations and travel, but of more significance, I created loving relationships, a deep spiritual connection, and embraced my life's calling, empowering women to lead amazing lives.
