About this ebook

Heidi Siefkas lost her health, her career, and her marriage after she was struck by a one-thousand-pound tree branch. While she made great strides in her physical and emotional recovery in the months that followed -- an arduous process that she chronicled in When All Balls Drop -- Heidi wasn't content to merely survive her setbacks. The time was right to build a new life. One she could live on her own terms.

But what would a redesigned life look like? In her quest for answers, Heidi returned to her childhood home in Wisconsin, dove into the South Florida dating scene, revisited old flames in New England, sold her first home, jumped out of a plane, and traveled alone to South America. Every leg of her journey provided a healthy dose of perspective.

With New Eyes is full of mishaps and bold decisions, all seasoned with sassy humor. Through her signature down-to-earth vignettes, Heidi inspires you to conquer your fears, head for adventure, and become the captain of your own ship.

Ratings and reviews

I have to admit that I didn't think that I would be wowed more than I was by her debut memoir, When All Balls Drop: The Upside of Losing Everything. However, Siefkas did it with her sequel, With New Eyes. Not merely content to survive her setbacks shared in her first book, she decided to architect her new life, life 2.0, AND on her terms. With the same easy-to-read, short chapters, I was able to quickly read. Plus, it has a feisty humor to it. I have to say it is addictive. If you love powerful true stories, read With New Eyes. It will inspire you to conquer your own fears and seek adventure

I'm going to gift this book to all of my girlfriends. It is sassy, funny, and inspiring. After a life-altering accident and losing all that seemed dear: health, marriage, and career, Heidi picked up the pieces and architected a new life, life 2.0. Follow her on her mishaps and bold decisions, in this sequel of When All Balls Drop. With New Eyes is down-to-earth, feisty, and inspiring. I want to go take an adventure too after reading it.
