When I was writing the last blog What was the most stupid thing you have done to yourself after a bad break-up?, I thought about my friend, Lisa Steadman, author and multiple-breakup survivor.

Her book It's A Breakup, Not A Breakdown. and website www.BreakupChronicles.com are all about the positive side of break ups.
Here is what she wrote on her blog: Breakup, Breakdown, Breakthrough!:
“I'm a living example of how after a breakup and subsequent breakdown, amazing things eventually happen. But I'm not the only one. There are so many of you who have survived and thrived after a breakup. Today, let's take some time to celebrate our strength and survival skills!”

Now I am very curious about Lisa's book It's A Breakup, Not A Breakdown. Maybe breakups are not that bad as we all experienced.

Here is what the book is about:
"Every woman's experienced the Big Breakup. You know the one. And even though it's a devastating natural disaster, after all the mind-numbing, soul-stirring, heart-wrenching pain comes the pleasure: in rediscovering yourself and your amazing life, of relishing in your girlfriends' company, and (eventually) of meeting someone new--someone who would have otherwise gone unmet had you not gone through your breakup in the first place."

To satisfy the curiosity, let's grab the book today and celebrate the break up that happened either recently or a long time ago as Lisa Steadman mentioned.

What is your great survival story after your breakup?
