TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Nearly two years ago my world fell apart with the revelation of my husband’s affair with a coworker. Like many others in this situation, I had no idea where to turn. I read as many books and articles as I could find and while they have been part of my healing, they were not personal.

Through my search I started listening to teleseminars from the Passionate Life Seminars site. From what I heard there, I knew that this was one of those times in life that would forever change me. I was determined I would become a stronger, better person, but I had no idea how to do that in the middle of my crumbling world.

Gayle was at a Betrayed Spouse seminar I went to and I was struck by her warmth, compassion and understanding. Gayle has been through this herself and she “gets it”.

Those of us who go through this experience are struck with many choices we never thought that we would have to make. Some of us are not given the chance to repair our marriage even if that is our hope. I am one of those people. For me, the greatest devastation came after the affair when my husband chose not to fight for me and our family.

I chose to work with Gayle because I knew I needed help getting out of the pit I was in. Working with her, I was able to share anything I needed to about my relationship, my fears for my future and my family’s future. For me, it was very important to work with a woman of faith and Gayle was that woman.

Over a few months, we laughed, cried, talked and prayed together. My situation was not resolved, but with her help, I now feel I am equipped to face the future, no matter what it brings.

Gayle is a beautiful woman with a calling to do this work. She is willing to expose herself to a world that barely acknowledges this issue. She has the compassion to help others through what she has been through. Most importantly, she has the faith and wisdom to help others see that this does not need to define who they are, but to be just a piece of the puzzle that is their life.
