In the deepest recesses of our fear lies at least one nightmare that we pray will never see daylight. Some of those dreams are unthinkable, some are life-altering. And a select few simply don’t like to travel solo. In the summer of 2009, Adrianna Larkin woke to a July morning that could no longer hold the nightmares back. They stood next to her as she locked the doors of the family retail business that for years had successfully supported her, her husband, and her son.

She was fifty years old—and when she looked in the mirror she was face to face with a sudden and complete loss of income, dual unemployment, personal bankruptcy, and foreclosure. She was staring at a stranger, and she was terrified. It was tempting to pull the covers over her head indefinitely, but instead she put her feet on the floor and took on what many would only dream of—and what she dared not to dream of as a woman in her twenties—a reinvention born of her one true passion: music.

Her story is a journey, one told in real time with heart and humor as she stumbles in believing doubt, and doubting belief, until she reaches a number of destinations where those ill-fit puzzle pieces find a truer match. It’s a trip to the past as well as through the present as you learn how she embraced her dream and, against all odds, returned to a career of her choosing as a professional musician and internationally known radio host.

Ms. Larkin beautifully demonstrates that nothing is an accident. All can be overcome by recognizing and welcoming true purpose, and unlimited potential exists in each of us if we heed the voice of our soul and ignite our Sacred Fire. She invites you to join her on the journey—but more importantly she invites you to book passage on your own.
