  Life can be difficult.  We all experience hurdles, obstacles and problems that get in the way and may limit our opportunities.  But we can usually count on the steadfast and loving support of others.  We get that comfort from our parents and pass it on through the generations.  Sadly, some will not get that unconditional love and bond from their onset or their early years.  Growing up as an orphan is to know you are different and, on some levels at least, alone.  Surviving and thriving with this can damage a life or be used as fuel to achieve a whole, rich, and nurtured life. 
   
  In this volume our authors use this as their theme as they construct moving stories from bleak beginnings to lives with surprising outcomes.

  When Maeve DuVally came out as a transgender woman while working as a corporate communications manager at Goldman Sachs, she knew she couldn't do it quietly. DuVally intimately documents her struggle to be herself in this environment, initially keeping her identity a secret with wardrobe changes in the lobby bathroom after work. Eventually she declares herself and, to her surprise, Goldman Sachs embraces the effort. Surgery follows. When DuVally finally takes those first steps on heels through the corridors of this institution on the way to her first meeting as a woman, the listener cheers. A New York Times story helped her realize she could become a role model for other transgender people and branded Goldman Sachs as a model for corporations assisting their transitioning employees. 
   
   
   
  Before she found her courage, DuVally's life was mired in depression and unconscious struggle. Raised in an Irish Catholic family with a sadistic pathologist father, her upbringing dropped her into an adulthood plagued by alcoholism. At Goldman Sachs, she ascends to a top communications position before her drinking begins to encroach upon her work. Finally, DuVally hits bottom, becoming sober after a lifetime in and out of AA and rehab. Clear at last, she begins to understand the source of her lifelong struggle and takes the bold step to become the woman she is now.

  If spiritual progress is your goal, then there is no substitute for the word of God. We have intertwined our divine prosperity with physical, financial, and sentimental achievements. We must follow that which is fundamental.  
  You do not need to know how to think or how to act. Success requires listening to the still small voice of God and following His instructions. What makes things happen is obedience to His Word. 
  When He asked me to write this, I became His author because He asked me to write what He did when I obeyed. 
  People asked me to write this book, but I said no, I did not want people to know me, but I wanted them to know the Lord. 
  One afternoon a friend came over and brought some of her friends I had never met.  
  I did not know that one of them was a prophetess, and as she began to pray for me, she prophesied that I would finish the book that I had started and that it would give glory to God. 
  Now, during that time, I was very sick. However, negative thoughts kept me from moving forward and the book forgot me. 
  So when the prophetess said that the book would give glory to God and not to me, it completely changed my mind. 
  Many things have also prevented you from moving forward because of the liar, Satan, I learned that fear, twisting the word of God, and telling us the opposite of what God wants for us is the mastermind technique of the devil. 
  What will result from your listening to God instead of the liar? All things are possible. If I can do it, so can you. 
  May this book lead you to God's higher plan for you to receive all the blessings that can only come from Him. 
  God is the Author and I am just the humble vessel, He even gave me the title, I did it His way. All glory to God! 
  I Did It His Way 
  Author Elizabeth Das
