Flying Into a New Life with the Greatest of Ease

Dare to embrace the uncertainty, dive headfirst into the future, and relish the exhilarating experience of reinventing your life!

With record unemployment, high divorce rates and financial instability, more people than ever before will find themselves in transition. Most of us are afraid of the in-between times—those stretches between jobs, between lovers, between a past that is stifling our dreams and a future that is scarily, precariously unknown. We are so reluctant to face uncertainty that often we cling to a view of ourselves that we know can never allow us to soar, and that keeps us from leaping headlong into an exuberant life.

But what if we could learn to embrace uncertainty and propel ourselves forward with a sense of curiosity and adventure, rather than anxiety and trepidation?

In Between Trapezes, Gail Blanke helps us to do just that. Blanke, the bestselling author of In my Wildest Dreams: Simple  Steps to a Fabulous Life, shows us that the “in-between” can be the best of times. She offers a practical and inspirational guide that will enable us to let go without our safety nets beneath, and fly through life’s transitions with the daring of the circus trapeze artist.

Unlike other books that concentrate solely on surviving career or other life transitions, Between Trapezes exhorts us all to reject the routine and predictable in favor of the adventurous and the serendipitous. With exercises and motivating tales of real people from all walks of life who summoned the courage to welcome a new start and create a whole new self. Gail Blanke demonstrates that the real thrill in life is not in the landing; it’s in the flying.  And she reminds us that the greatest flyers and always the greatest fallers. No one ever reaches those dizzying heights without taking a few plunges!

What others are saying about Between Trapezes:

"Gail Blanke skillfully helps us work towards answers to those fundamental questions that all of us -- including journalists, business leaders, politicians, and actors -- face every day:  How do we view ourselves and how do others see us?  Her insights give each of us more confidence as we move forward into the next phase of our lives."

--Bob Graham, US Senator from Florida

"Gail Blanke reveals herself and her subjects through defining moments -- memorable, practical, inspiring stories of successful passages."

--Gail Sheehy, author of Passages and New Passages

"F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, 'There are no second acts in American lives.' In this wonderfully perceptive and inspirational book, Gail Blanke proves him wrong.  She shows how, if you are willing to fly between trapezees, you can have a second act, a third act, a fourth act..."

--James K. Glassman, columnist for the Washington Post

"In Between Trapezes Gail Blanke convinces us that the moments when life is grim or uncertain are the exact moments when we can soar.  She's very persuasive.  Take that risk!"

--Donna Hanover, journalist, actress, and former first lady of the City of New York

"Letting go of the old 'trapeze' can be a pretty scary thought...when everything in us is telling us to just hang on.  Gail Blanke shows us how to leap into that great unknown, embrace uncertainty, and discover the joy of self-reinvention."

--John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

"If you think being an adventurer is a lot more fun than being a drudge, then Gail Blanke is your girl.  Like a 21st-century Auntie Mame, she exhorts you to live and act -- which is what all great adventurers do until they've convinced themselves (and everybody else) that they know what they are doing.  The trick is that Gail has opened the adventurer's playbook, so if you're not a natural-born adventurer, you can become one."

--Nancy Evans, cofounder of iVillage

"The best mental makeover you can give yourself is to read Between Trapezes.  Gail's insight is right on!"

--David Evangelista, renowned television personality and makeup artist

"This is clearly a classic!  Blends great insights about sales, communication and self-development with spiritual wisdom of the ages. I'm loving every minute of it.  Many, many thanks! ... your book will sit beside "7 Spiritual Laws of Success" on my
shelf and be one I want to dip in and out of all the time."

-- Eleanor Haas, Managing Director, The Calyx Group
