Where Do I Sign? From Tragedy to Resilient Triumph is a moving, motivational memoir by David A. Dodd—A global leader in economic resilience, dynamic speaker, and survivor of extraordinary adversity. Through deeply personal storytelling, David reveals how a life shaped by trauma and setbacks became one defined by purpose, innovation, and unshakable resilience.

After a near-fatal auto crash left him with life-threatening injuries and a long road to recovery, he had every reason to give up. Instead, he leaned into five core principles that had guided him from childhood, resulting in personal resilience, faith, and a commitment to service. Along the way, he founded the International Sustainable Resilience Center and helped reshape how communities worldwide recover from disaster and build lasting strength.

This book is a compelling blend of life story and practical principles that will inspire readers from every walk of life. Whether you’re seeking encouragement during hard times or a framework for long-term growth, Where Do I Sign? offers hope, clarity, and an empowering message: you are stronger than you think.

Sign your name to your future. Conquer tragedy with resilience.

Here are the five principles of personal resilience.
1. Learn something, something that interests you
2. In learning about that something, find your passion
3. Pursue that passion, continue to learn about it and experience it
4. Develop a strategy, with specific actions to realize results from that passion
5. Measure your progress and celebrate success, focusing on the future not the past

When Life’s Hard Knocks Make You Feel Beaten, Take Heart from Lily
Sanders, Whose Conquest over Abuse and Hardship Led to
Enlightened Self-Knowledge and Real Self-Love

Today, Lily Sanders can point to extraordinary the successes of being named one of the top 15 coaching experts in New York City, years as a soap opera regular and TV/movie dancer and actress, multiple-franchise owner, devoted mother and even a year as a featured Barnum & Bailey Circus show dancer!

But it was the lowlights, not the highlights that have defined and refined her.

Looking at it objectively, Lily’s life sounds like a sad country song. Its refrain began early when she was very young, living with a depressed frightened mother, three siblings and an abusive father, who made life a living hell for the children and wife who helplessly watched. Lily endured until relief came when he departed, but that left her to be the adult to her childlike mother. It was through dance that she first found her footing. Passionately engaged, she could forget about everything else and just dance!

And that was her ticket away from home for the first time, going on the road with the circus, learning tough lessons and standing on her own. Eventually, she pursued the life of a professional dancer, auditioning and getting TV, movie and theatre opportunities that blossomed ultimately into success as an actress. And then further success in business.

But it was her private life that proved to be her real crucible.
Repeatedly aligning herself with damaged men, she found herself once again emotionally and physically abused. And then in a life-long custody wrangle with her ex-husband over her beloved son. But she knew she had to break the pattern. So she started with herself.

Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth is the story of how she found her truth, how she forged a new relationship with her higher self and the Divine to be a beacon of love for those to follow. Her book is far more than a chronicle of her life and her transformation…it is filled with guidance, wisdom and advice for anyone who is struggling to find their way, to find peace, love, contentment and prosperity.

It is steeped in insights, hard truths, gentle encouragement, inspiration, spiritual doorways, darkness-defeating honesty and authenticity. Lily wants to lift up her sisters so they may never have to just endure – they can thrive!

Today, having a highly successful coaching practice in New York, and being a sought after TV and radio guest, speaker and workshop leader, Lily Sanders is transforming the lives and hearts of men, woman, and children across the nation.

Lily can illuminate for you:

• What to do when you’re willing to face the truth about your life, or the abusers around you
• The keys to love yourself unconditionally
• How to let go of self-blame
• The way to release the past and break the mold for new generational blessings
• How to begin forging a new relationship with yourself and the spiritual force that empowers you

Lily Sanders brings forth powerful messages encoded in Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth to give women the path to a life worth living. The paperback book is available from Amazon for $19.95 and the Kindle is $17.95.

Lily Sanders
Biography

Lily Sanders’ life experiences, adversity, talent, sense of humor, and intense compassion has gifted her a purpose to write, influence, and coach others. As a magazine columnist, Lily inspired thousands while writing her own powerful book, Truth to Triumph. Her newly international released book, Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth has already begun transforming lives.

Lily grew up in a domestically violent home, and used ballet class as her sanctuary. Performing and producing was her dream since she was a young child. She later went on as a professional dancer and landed interesting gigs as a dance contestant on Ed McMahon’s Star
Search, and a Showgirl/Dancer on Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus. She continued onto a promising acting career and won various Off Broadway roles and a day player role on ABC’s One Life to Live.

Years later, she married, had a beautiful child and became a highly successful entrepreneur in the franchise world. Sadly, Lily suffered
behind a veil of silence for 14 years, as she found herself back in a domestically violent home as a battered wife. The good news is that the lessons she learned and the awakening she experienced transformed her into the inspirational, insightful, and thought-provoking author, speaker, and coach that she is today.

Lily specializes in transition, giving spiritual and practical guidance through her books, speaking engagements and coaching. She helps others see through adverse life situations and gain healing, clarity, and focus on their soul purpose. No matter what someone’s story is, Lily is not about holding onto stories. Rather she teaches others how to stop seeing themselves as a victim and instead, learn how to use these experiences to become an empowered expression of love and truth. Teaching others how to hold onto that love and truth while navigating through life situations is what she mirrors and masters.

Lily invites us to unlock the magic within, and awaken our dormant potential. She believes that we all have the power to choose the creations we wish to experience. Her personal transformation has proven it, and she continues to teach others how to unlock it, and walk a path of knowing one present step at a time.
No matter how accomplished we are or how complete we feel in a relationship, Lily suggests that we all have areas in our life that can use enhancement. Sometimes it can be a matter of your health, asking us to examine if our physical and mental energy level is the best it can be.

Perhaps we are challenged with counter-balancing our career with our loved ones. She poses the curious question: “Is your career guided by your purpose?”

On a spiritual level, Lily encourages self-inquiry. “Who am I?” And in that self-inquiry, “Am I doing things that serve my highest Self? Am I fully aware of consciousness at soul level as it plays out in the physical world?” She uses these self-inquiries as tools to help us transform.

That said, her passion is for humanity, and she thrives on helping others transform. Her purpose is to become a light for others that burns up the nonsense in life. Her message is love.

Amazed at life’s interesting crossroads, with gratitude and enthusiasm, Lily Sanders engages in global opportunities, and advancing collective consciousness. Visit her site www.lilysanders.live. She may be contacted for bookings at: www.lilysanders.live/speaking.

“Love is the essence of all consciousness. Love is the stimulus for everything in life. It is the yeast that
develops and gives rise to our daily bread.”
~Lily Sanders

Stars of Yiddish musical theatre who are well-liked by the local Communist government, the family plans to hide in a basement when the war arrives in their small town of Skalat on the Polish/Ukraine border. But when local bullies threaten to turn the oldest son over to the invading Nazis, he flees to the next town, followed by his sister, then by the rest of the family.

Finding themselves unable to return to their home where fighting is in full force, they begin a journey eastward all the way across Europe and Asia, just ahead of the Nazi invasion. Through insistence on staying together – and possibly, a spark of divine power – they miraculously survive multiple forces that otherwise would have killed them.

Through story, song, legend, and newsreel-style reports, By Wheel and By Wing tells an extraordinary tale of triumph: of love over war, of humor over despair, of family bonds over hatred, and of the human spirit over adversity.
