On January 5th, my friend Neil McNerney tagged me in a fantastic project called The Next Big Thing Online Event. The Next Big Thing is a way for authors and bloggers to share the news about their most exciting upcoming projects. The goal is to share information about a big project, and then share the love by paying it forward to five other authors and bloggers. Please take a minute to look at the end of this post to see five other folks who are doing great things for families. Here’s Neil’s Next Big Thing >

My Next Big Thing: Reinventing Divorce

I am just about done with my first draft of Reinventing Divorce. This is going to be a self-help book and workbook to assist people who are considering divorce. The goal is that people who read this book and do the exercises will experience the divorce process in a healthier way – for themselves and for their children.

To write this book I interviewed 20 of the top family law/divorce attorneys in the Washington, DC Metro area. I have quotes from them throughout the book. They willingly discussed where their clients get stuck – and their best pieces of advice for anyone going through divorce. I also did a survey of children of divorce. There will be quotes from these children (and some are now adults) and a whole section of the book devoted to children of divorce.

Divorce affects all aspects of our lives. As a reflection of this, I have sectioned this book into four parts: The physical aspects of divorce; the mental aspects of divorce; the emotional aspects of divorce, and the spiritual aspects of divorce.

This book will take you on a unique journey – a very personal journey – to help you better understand yourself, your soon to be ex-spouse, and your children. It will give you tools. It will give you support. It will give you places where you can find additional support – and it will educate you on the legal process of divorce.

Reinvent Divorce is an essential tool to help you do your divorce in a new way – a healthy way – for all parties involved. The ultimate mission of this book being that you will come through this journey with a heart that is open and not forever scarred; with hopefulness for the future; and with children that won’t be dealing with the ugly, life-long repercussions of parents that have lost control.
