Ever since I was a little girl, I had a picture-perfect life planned for myself.

Become a teacher and make a difference. Check.

Surround myself with the best of friends. Check.

Find a man who loved and valued me. Check.

What I did not plan for was for that expertly crafted life to implode twenty minutes before I walked down the aisle. My life went into a tail-spin, spiraling out of control. Instead of hiding under a crocheted blanket on my couch with a pint of rocky road and a gallon of Pinot, I decided to hang on and see where this insane ride took me.

Things couldn't possibly get any worse, right? WRONG! People should stop asking that question because things can always get worse.

But amid the relentless and humiliating tests life threw at me, I found something. Something I never thought I'd find with the last person I'd expect to find it with.

I didn't plan for Ryan Cohen, but maybe the best things in life shouldn't be planned. Maybe the secret to the perfect life is just letting go and allowing the universe drop you exactly where you need to be.
