My name is Paula Michaels. During my bitter divorce I felt betrayed, un-valued and not knowing which direction to turn. One day I decided to turn my life around and I started researching ways that I could get out of this terrible predicament and start a new rewarding life.

Writing was my main savior! I wrote about my experiences and what I had learned. I decided to share these experiences with other women who found themselves in a similar situation.

The results of my writings and research are all in my website Paula's Practical Divorce Resources, or at My Online Store

It is my great hope that these writings and resources will inspire and motivate other women to take the necessary action to lead to a fulfilling and rewarding life.
