When your circumstances alter your life, you really only have two options — let it destroy you or embrace adaptability. That’s what this website is all about — making adaptability a lifestyle.

My first book, Embracing Life’s Limitations: Letting Go of Who You Were Supposed to Be is available on Amazon in Kindle form, as a paperback or hardcover book. We all face challenges in life. Why is it that some people find ways to overcome their challenges, while others completely self-destruct? Even as adults, our childhood traumas creep up and stymie our chances for happiness. Told through remembrances and responses, this memoir opens the door to finding life’s joy, even when life becomes overwhelming.
Here's a link to my first book, Embracing Life's Limitations: Letting Go of Who You Were Supposed to Be. It is a story of growing up with bilateral hip dysplasia, living with psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, and talks about my first cancer journey, months in hospice, and the incredible doctor who tried a very risky surgery that ultimately saved my life. It's about learning to adapt to, and even embrace, our many limitations.

About the Author
A child of the 60s and early 70s, I’ve had a variety of adventures and experiences. Life with an orthopedic disability and a chronic autoimmune disease can be challenging, but it gives me a unique outlook on life. My recent battle with cancer and chronic radiation enteritis gave me ample opportunity to ponder life, in all its glory.
I hope you will join me on my life journey!
