As she began to share her story with those in her personal and professional network, she made an unexpected discovery. Others, too, had a common history of overcoming seemingly insurmountable tragedies, but just like Michelle, they had emerged with newfound strength and the desire to help others. She approached these brave women with the idea of sharing their collective wisdom in a book. The Lemonade Stand was born.

If you recognize the feeling and happen to be on the verge of losing the spark, join me in this journey to make lemonade from the lemons that life has given us.

When life gives you lemons (anything that is yucky, sour, or painful), you can use those lemons to make lemonade (something sweet, positive, or refreshing). No matter how positive or happy a person is, sometimes life gives us lemons. Some of those lemons teach us lessons about life. There are some lemons that you may barely notice, and then there are the ones that knock you straight upside the head! Maybe a bully threw a lemon as quick as lightning and knocked the wind right out of you! Maybe your lemon is a really yucky divorce in your family. Maybe your lemon is that someone you loved very much died. Those lemons sure do sting! Your lemons might be illness, bullying, friendship problems, parents fighting, divorce, or other yucky, painful things. But, you can find ways to stay positive no matter how many lemons life throws at you! While it wasn't always easy, I have learned that making lemonade from life's sour lemons becomes easier and easier the more you do it. No matter how difficult things may seem, it is always possible to live a Lemonade Life.
