Has life and love gone wrong, changed you over the years? Are you still the fun loving, open hearted woman, that still believes in the happily ever after? If you are like most women the answer is probably no. No one wants to admit to not being the fun, loving and open hearted women we were in our teenage years, but the reality is, life changes us. It changes our personality, our character, our joy and our dreams. Without knowing it we wake up and realize we have become a 'Bitch!' We ask ourselves how did I change? What happened?
