Books in Print and in Progress

 This international best-selling anthology features the stories of 16 individuals who live with various diagnoses. 

I am one of them.

Among them are ADHD, CPTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, Quadriplegia, Lupus, Lyme Disease, Bipolar II Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Depressive/Anxiety Disorder, Diabetes I, Neurodivergence, Chronic Illness/Pain, either from birth or as a result of a life-changing accident. 

The essence of these stories is to show that it is possible to thrive, and not just survive, when we "Choose to be more." 

As a group, we have grown close through this project and support each other so that life doesn't "live" us. 

We choose the journey we take. We decide how to "live" our lives. 

You can, too! 

REVIEWS

The stories in this anthology are raw, real full of vulnerability and simultaneously filled with hope. You can live a productive and very full life with a diagnosis.

Choosing to be more than a diagnosis, encompasses embracing the diagnosis and weaving it into the tapestry of who you become as well as into the tapestry of your daily life.

These stories speak the truth of living with a diagnosis, as well as, providing tools and strategies for how to do so effectively with with compassion and grace for yourself.

It is a much read for anybody living with a diagnosis, for anyone who loves and cares for someone with a diagnosis as well as those who have no diagnosis. The messages and lessons shared by these co-authors can benefit anyone facing any kind of adversity in life. 

WARNING: Shock and amazement, catharsis, and real, actionable mind-shifts amidst these pages. These stories are not sensational, not a performance, not a distraction, just the real, just the life of it all. The authors feel like they're talking to me - it’s that intimate.
