A Talk with A Queen™ Unexpected Detours: When Life Forces You to Turn in A New Direction with Best-selling Children’s Author, Patrice McLaurin

<p>"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”—Maya Angelou</p> <p>What happens when you're fired from your job and your life is forces to take an expected detour?</p> <p>If a journey is a metaphor for life, we are all destined to have roadblocks, traffic jams, and detours. These are moments when we are forced to change course, turn from where we are going and take another route, but it doesn’t mean we won’t get to where we’re supposed to be. A detour might look like an obstacle, but it’s really an opportunity. And while a detour creates a delay, it’s not denial. You can still achieve your dreams and goals.</p> <p>Accepting what seems disappointing is difficult, but when you nurture your relationship with God, you can glean empowering and inspirational lessons from failure, disappointment, rejection... If you dig deep within your heart and mind, you will find the treasures in trouble and useful messages in your mess. That's because God doesn't life, He changes us. All humans go through a variation of the same thing regardless of their race, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, etc. The good news is that we are equipped to be achieve great things despite challenges. In fact, God uses detours to divinely steer us in the direction He purposed us to go.</p> <p>Listen and learn from wife, mother, businesswoman and best-selling author, Patrice McLaurin about what to do when the unexpected happens.
