Fork In The Road Stories

Selected true stories from those submitted to this website

She disobeys her family so her son can have a father

Her boyfriend walks out on her after she was five months pregnant because of his drug addiction.

After separating from my husband, I met someone and started a new relationship. Our relationship progressed very quickly and I got pregnant after about 5 months. All of it came way too fast and stressed us both out. He slowly became despondent with me and took off more and more. We got into more fights and he would leave for days then come back and apologize. It wasn’t until much later after the baby was born that I learned he had a drug habit and all the stress sent him into a relapse. Three days before Christmas when I was seven months pregnant, he left me. He told …

Fork In The Road Band Takes A Lot Of Forks To Become A Band

Could all of this be a coincidence?

(The following story was submitted by Dan Allen, a member of the Fork In The Road Band in Logan, Iowa. They are a country rock band.  www.myspace.com/forkintheroad)

Where Does Everyone On The Facebook Page Come From?

If you think English speaking countries dominate the list, think again!

The Life Is A Fork In The Road page has been on Facebook for 18 months. During that time it has grown to over 21,000 people from 155 countries around the world. Facebook has provided me with information about the top twenty countries and cities that everyone on the page comes from. The results are a bit surprising.

I come from the United States and write in English. So, yes, there are more people on the page from the United States than any other country. No surprises there. It would seem logical that English speaking countries would dominate the top of the list followed by other countries. But that is not the …

25 Update Post From The Life Is A Fork In The Road Facebook Page

How Do I Create The Weekly Facebook Status Updates?

At least once a week and sometimes more, I’ve posted a status update on the Life Is A Fork In The Road Facebook Page since January. These updates were initially intended to encourage discussion about listening to and following our inner wisdom. As I read more stories and insights, I began to learn things that shaped these weekly reflections. Sometimes it was a deeper insight about what was really going on in people’s lives. Other times I found several people commenting about the same issue and turned that into a post so others could comment on it.

This book I’m writing is not going to be …
