Andrea Owen hit bottom in 2007.  Her husband had an affair with their neighbor and got her pregnant.  When they split, she entered a new relationship only to find out nine months later he’d lived about having cancer to cover for his drug problem.  He cheated on Andrea and fleeced her out of thousands of dollars.  Andrea had isolated herself from her friends, quit her job and was moving out her apartment to move in with him.  Andrea knew life had to change and asked the universe for whatever help she could get.
