About The Author
Lorena Bathey wasn’t born a fairy godmother. She was an only
child that grew up in a small town in Northern California. She
attended local schools and went on to major in English at St.
Mary’s College, a school just twenty minutes from her hometown.
But she always dreamed big, wanting to travel, become an actress
and be successful, Of course Lorena’s idea of success fluctuated
as I she matured, but happiness was consistently on the list.
 One time while shopping at a mall, she was interviewed and
quoted in a paper about what her dreams were, “would like to
write a best selling novel, win the lotto, find the man of my
dreams and move to an island in
Tahiti where I would be
blissfully happy.” Interestingly enough, Lorena believed it was
possible to achieve that dream, although living in Tahiti would
make it difficult to drop her kids off at school.
In her twenties, she had a dramatic relationship with a
fanatical European man. After the ups and downs of that
relationship, she returned to San Francisco. She met and married
a more calmer and settled American man and set out to make the
idea of fairy tale marriage come true.
 Eleven years, two kids and one golden retriever later the fairy
tale that was her marriage was in need of extensive repair.
Finally, accepting that no amount of magic was going to keep her
marriage intact, they separated. It was there that her journey
began of starting over. Along the way she learned that love,
loss, friends, and vodka were the true roadmap to finding
herself.
Lorena started chronicling the changes taking place in her life
after her husband left. As she wrote, she noticed her life,
personality and strength growing as well. During that time she
returned to work, running a successful business for three years
that kept her in shoes and purses. Returning to the workforce
gave her renewed sense
 of confidence.
Lorena came to believe that everything and everyone that enters
your life has a definite purpose. There are no chances or
coincidences. “We live our lives believing that we are in
control of every aspect, but what we find out is that it is best
to grab onto the trolley strap and let intention and the
universe take you where you need to be.”
Today, Lorena is a divorced mother of two wonderful children.
She has a home, two new burgeoning careers; as a writer and the
other as speaker. She has friends, love
and happiness. Happy Beginnings – How I Became My
Own Fairy Godmother is her first novel.
