I had fallen in love with a beautiful, amazing woman. Everything felt like it was just perfect. My life was wonderful, and gratefully, I knew it.

Even in the moment I was diagnosed with cancer, I could 100% control who I was choosing to be. I could decide how to react to the doctor’s words, “I don’t know if you’re going to live.”
"We all need inspirational and motivation in areas of our lives that pertain to what we are currently going through so if you need a great “quick pick me up” just pick up this book.

I would recommend this book for anyone in any age group other than children as it is meant to open our hearts and minds to the life we need to live in the present moment to seek out our true potential, purpose and a more satisfying relationships with others." - Jackie Paulson
