It’s not about how strong you were back then, it is about how strong you are right here right now.

Unmeasured Strength (2011)

Every day you have a choice. Make it count.

Unmeasured Strength (2011)

It’s my reality, I put a Band-Aid on it and I move on.

Unmeasured Strength (2011)

I was asked by thousands of people if I was going to write a book. A lot of them had shared in my story, and in ways I don't quite understand, they had found it helpful.

For years I've been privileged to receive words of thanks and encouragement from people all over the world, often simply asking how I'm doing. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share my story in the hope it will continue to resonate with people facing challenges in their own lives.
