Have you ever felt like your life was travelling in the wrong direction but that it’s too late to do anything about it? At age 54 that’s exactly how Dilys felt. She was anxious, stressed, disconnected and searching for her purpose but then something happened that changes her entire outlook as well as her future.

Using examples from turning points in her extraordinary life, Dilys Price OBE explains how through facing her fears she was able to find her purpose and make a difference to not only herself but to thousands of people.

Now aged 84, Dilys story serves as an inspirational reminder that life really is for living.

get a passion
be kind to as many as you can, as often as you can, to whomever you can ,where ever you can, in any way you can.
