At age 19, my life transformed from that of a college student to that of a wife and mother. This life-changing experience helped me reach my current philosophy on living life filled with promise and change, rooted in faith and hope. Despite challenges I’ve faced, my optimistic outlook has helped fuel my determination to make a change in my life. When I began my journey, I had no idea what I would encounter along the way. Optional Optimism: It’s All in How You Look at It—my first book—shares my story and approach to embracing optimism with others. I believe that life is all about choice. “It’s not how life looks to you, but how you choose to look at life.” It’s All in How You Look at It. I’m a graduate of Roosevelt University and have worked as a human resources professional for more than 25 years. I’ve been married to my husband, David, for 43 years and we have two daughters, Stephannie and Ashley, and three grandchildren. https://www.deirdreamcclarin.com/services-1 daily 0.75 2020-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da3e3b001106247e504a5b8/1571069289257-24SXWB8G5MU4C9DZW65L/OO3d-JournalFront%26Back.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da3e3b001106247e504a5b8/1571069257970-7DWRJKVW558CIKHMNU25/OO3d-Front%26Back-V2.png Books https://www.deirdreamcclarin.com/reviews-1 daily 0.75 2020-05-19 https://www.deirdreamcclarin.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-11-30 https://www.deirdreamcclarin.com/services-2 daily 0.75 2020-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da3e3b001106247e504a5b8/1586141196401-7Q6D3MJRFDUYPNS6GTGW/microphone.png Speaking - Let’s Talk For many years, I believed life was good…until I realized it could be better.
