Appropriately titled, The Answer is Simple… Loving Yourself Beyond Illness &

Aging will provide you with all the tools you need to awaken to the Divine power within you to make a deeper connection, and strengthen your passion and commitment to your life

Thirty five years ago, after I was diagnosed with MS, I learned to face the challenges of illness and, ultimately, it has prepared me well to confront the challenges we all face as we age.  I began to recognize the unmistakable parallels between living successfully with illness or disability and living successfully with advancing age.

Vowing to live every moment as if it might be my last gives me much in common with many people older than my 59 years.  The recognition of being here now, honoring life, not holding on to life, and not fearing death, uniquely parallels that of seniors who choose to live fuller lives because they realize fundamentally that they have less, not more time ahead of them. 

For FIVE CONSECUTIVE  WEDNESDAYS, beginning WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 2009,

YOU ARE INVITED to participate in a five-part series, based on an as yet untapped recognition that the challenges and life lessons of aging are remarkably similar to the challenges and life lessons of living life fully with chronic illness.

These blessings of patience, acceptance, courage, forgiveness, and gratitude have transformed my life and passionately call me to get up each morning

 
In this five-week online course, we look at five simple questions. These questions reveal the true nature of our love, our strength, our courage, our wisdom, and our compassion–for ourselves, for each other, and for the planet. The exercises allow us to break free to grow beyond what we already know, and through them, we sense a spark that can light our way as we venture forth.  .

As a passionate advocate for disability rights, I am a renowned motivational speaker, published author, spiritual teacher, ordained minister, wife, artist, creative director, life coach, and entrepreneur, dedicated to assisting others in seeing that illness or injury can be viewed as a spiritual awakening and opportunity for personal growth. My mission is to awaken your spirit and shift and “choose to direct ourselves to be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening outside.”

It appears all of my life experiences have uniquely qualified me to create this program!
