Hell
In The Hallway
The hallway. We have all been there after experiencing
a major disappointment like a relationship break up, divorce, job firing,
or the death of loved one. It can be the loneliest place in the world.
But for me, that place of transition, terror, and uncomfortable change
is always a source of incubation and healing. I have learned there is
a gift wrapped inside of every adversity and, if you have faith and hope,
you can lose everything and still survive. Resentments will eat you alive,
but forgiving the one person you can't, will transform you both. Hell
In The Hallway is dedicated to everyone who has ever been, is, or will
be, in the hallway.

“We’ve
all been in the Hallway... and probably will be again. Hell is not
only paved with good intentions, it delivers a wonderful and warm
collection of insight, humor and advice.”
~Dennis Wholey
Host of PBS’s This is America and
Author of Why Do I Keep Doing That?
“Full of
great moments that turn on the lights no matter how dark the room.
It is witty, fun to read, heart-lifting and down to earth.”
~Judy Collins
Singer, songwriter and author
A collection of one-liner wisdom to
help readers learn, laugh, and heal. "Expectations are premeditated
resentments." "Get out of your own way." "Laughter
is the sound effect of recovery." Sandi Bachom has spent a
fair amount of time "in the hallways" of life, trying
to find her way out of, around, or through various crises—addiction,
divorce, unemployment, and more. She developed a keen ear for wise
sayings along the way—and it's a good thing she was paying
such close attention. In Hell in the Hallway, Bachom shares hundreds
of insights gathered in the midst of life's stall-outs, setbacks,
and hardships. One-liners dispensed with a humorous slant. Universal
truths spelled out in everyday language. Life's lessons boiled down
to bite-size pieces. Topics covered range from acceptance to fear,
laughter to healing, denial to spirituality, providing readers with
an always accessible source of inspiration and support.
Sandi Bachom is a producer and filmmaker
and the author of "Denial Is Not a River in Egypt"and
"The Wrath of Grapes". She lives in New York City.
