How to Find Yourself Again
February 5, 2021
After a marriage or in most changes in our life, we can find that we feel we have “lost” ourself or feel disconnected from ourself. When that happens, how do we reconnect with ourself? How do we “find” ourself again? If you find yourself feeling out of place, or uncomfortable in your skin or in your life,
This is a fascinating conversation and many times in this interview I felt like I was talking to my twin. We discuss refinding and rediscovering ourself AND not forcing a person into a life that doesn’t feel or seem right for them. This includes forcing people to live up to the stereotypical society “norms”.

HEY GUYS, THE REDHEAD’S BACK – Book by Laurie
I’m the redhead and this is my experience going through several years of a divorce process and trying to regain the self-assurance and confidence I used to have before my marriage. It was critical to my future that I accomplish this, and after a brief introduction, my memoir begins at the time my former husband and I determined our best future was not as a couple.
Our friends’ daughter dies in a house fire and that sets me off on a quest to find out how fire departments operate. My research takes me from a role as a visitor at the Shaker Heights, Ohio Fire Department to a member of the firehouse family. Over the course of the years 1981 through 1983, I am forced, through no-nonsense treatment, to once again become a strong, self-sufficient woman.
I got help from another very special being, my horse, Amigo, who was my sounding board and my confidante.
The chapters are divided by years and my firehouse experiences, my marital ups and downs, and my moments with Amigo are interwoven throughout this journal of reawakening, of reclaiming the person I once was.

OverviewWhen you’re faced with divorce, getting back into the workforce, raising two teenagers, and taking care of eight horses, it sometimes help to have a sympathetic ear. In my case, the sympathetic ear belonged to my horse, Amigo. Unsympathetic ears belonged to the men of the Shaker Heights, Ohio Fire Department where I spent time researching for a book about the fire service. During the process, I not only rediscovered the person I was before my marriage, I found a new career in the fire service. This book is about how it all came about.DescriptionLaurie Loveman shares her experience going through several years of a divorce and the process of trying to regain the self-assurance and confidence she had before her marriage.
