A Grandparents Favorite
This book was written for people who are once again single because of divorce. However, much of the book also touches the lives of those who find themselves alone after the death of their spouse.
“Dear God, I’m Divorced” was first published in 1997 by Theresa Schultz who went through a divorce a few years earlier. At the time, she was searching for a book that would not only give her answers but also comfort without having to read for hours. Just as the rose opens a little on each page, so will the reader begin to bloom.
“It’s Like…” is a treasure and a motivational book, which touches on practical solutions for handling both common and unexpected situations. These solutions are often not taught in training. In this book, a real estate agent shares her stories, so others can learn from her experiences.
Each story starts with a clever analogy and followed by a valuable lesson. A final reflection leaves readers with something to think about to enrich their lives. A gem which says so much in so few words.
This classic captures the innocence of childhood in poetry and the wisdom of age in prose. Each catchy verse describes a ‘Happy Face Day’ from a child’s point of view. Grandma’s simple comments and questions validate the child’s observations, gently expand knowledge and stimulate conversation.
A thematic pen-and-ink drawing and a unique happy face for each chat charms one to turn the page. Each exchange is complete so the book may be read chat-by-chat, a few pages at a time or all at once.
“Dear God, I’m Divorced”
About the Book
This book was written for people who are once again single because of divorce. However, a great portion of the book also touches the lives of those who find themselves alone after the death of their spouse.
“Dear God, I’m Divorced” was first published in 1997 by Theresa Schultz who went through a divorce a few years earlier. At the time, she was searching for a book that would not only give her answers but also comfort without having to read for hours.
Although she found many books delving on the subject of coping with divorce, she still felt a need to write one that would say a lot in a few words. In doing so, she hoped to provide a guide to healing to the millions of people dealing with being divorced or widowed.
Just as the rose opens a little on each page, so will the reader begin to bloom. You may also pick up the book and read only the page that you need the most at any given time.
In 2010, Theresa began her collection of books entitled “This I’ve Learned.” “Dear God, I’m Divorced” was revised to be a part of that collection. Grab a copy and watch the rose bloom as you fan through the pages of the book from front to back.

Introduction
“My real estate career began when I was forced to become a breadwinner after being a homemaker and a stay-at-home mom for twenty years. After attempting many employment options, it was my position as a receptionist in a real estate office that opened the door to my new career. At first, my thoughts were, ‘I could never do what those agents need to do.’ But as I listened and watched how they worked, I found myself thinking, ‘If they can do it, so can I.’
After months of classes and passing the dreaded Real Estate Agent’s Exam, I finally had my license in hand. I thought I was ready.
Through the years, I acquired designations—titles from workshops and seminars—but, too often, the classes didn’t touch on the day-to-day, often unexpected situations.
I can’t guess how many times I’ve said, ‘This is the first time that’s ever happened.’ It was one of those moments that prompted me to write this book. What great fun it’s been for me to share my experiences and what I’ve learned!
How many times have you heard someone say, ‘I wish I knew twenty years ago what I know now.’
‘It’s Like…’ offers you the opportunity to learn from my personal experiences from twenty-six years as a real estate agent.
I hope you will enjoy my stories and lessons and that my reflections are an inspiration for life.”
