A Note From the Author
This blasted disease has taken much from & out of me. Sniff, Sigh... But I certainly cannot let it end at that! Each day I work toward thriving beyond survival, toward a stronger intimacy with myself & the world around me, & toward embracing the life & career I was meant to lead. Like all challenges, it's a daily battle, fought one moment - & one angry, humorous, bewildered, hopeful, despairing, victorious, or balanced entry - at a time.
