On the surface, Jan Marshall is an unassuming woman, just ask her cat... For 30 years Jan worked in the IT industry, selling computers and software, being a consultant, and for 14 years working in the field of Change Management. In 2012 Jan’s quiet life changed forever.
Jan moved from Brisbane to Melbourne for work and to be closer to family. She wanted some companionship to explore Victoria with, so engaged in online dating. She connected with a man and was defrauded of over $260,000 over a several month period. The realisation leads to grief, shame, financial devastation, and a shattered self image. It takes a number of years to work through all the issues, including financial ones, and fight her way through to becoming a survivor.

Later I was inspired by the need to begin speaking out about what happened to me as a way to overcome the tendency to be emotionally closed down, to break out of the shame that victims can suffer from.
I found from writing my blog, and media activities that I had done, that each time I spoke out I regained my self-respect. This encouraged me to complete and publish the book.(less)
Jan Marshall The book comes from my own experience. It is a true story, and an honest revelation of all that happened.

“As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”!”
