You know those moments when you have the perfect plan…and the universe says, “I don’t think so”?

     Yeah. This book is about those moments.

The funny ones. The heartbreaking ones. The ones you never saw coming.

     Through true stories of scattered plans, unexpected detours, and hard-earned perspective, Alison Nissen and Marcy Stoudt explore what happens when life refuses to follow the script. You’ll laugh. You might cry. More than anything, you’ll probably recognize a few of your own stories along the way—and perhaps realize that the detour wasn’t the end of the story.

     The companion journal brings together the reflection prompts from the book, along with bonus prompts that invite you to explore the unexpected turns, difficult choices, and meaningful moments that have shaped your own life.

     Because, let’s face it…you can’t BS the Universe.
