"I Will Survive" arrived at our home just days before my wife and I were planning a second trip out of state
to visit a very dear friend of ours with a terminal illness. Our first visit was so important to us, as well, as I
believe to her and her family, and was responsible for planning this second trip. Corinne's book with all of
its wisdom, thought provoking and heart-felt true stories, and simple but meaningful courses of action was an
invaluable resource for us. In the book, Corinne refers to words of inspiration of others, in what she calls
"Pearls of Wisdom", and these helped us understand more about our friend and what she and her family are going through, as well as convinced us that our first visit was perhaps more important than what we even thought it was for everyone involved.
"I Will Survive" did something else for us as well, and that is to put an even deeper meaning into the part of the marriage vows, which goes, "For Better or for Worse, In Sickness and In Health". To see the grace and dignity our friend and her husband, as well as her family have in facing this challenge is so heartwarming, and "I Will Survive" with its teaching of understanding opened our eyes ever further to this.
One of the "Pearls of Wisdom" in the book which is credited to an anonymous source really hit home for me.
That "Pearl of Wisdom" is: "Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results".
"I Will Survive" gives us the principles of adding fuel to this catalyst for exceptional growth.
My wife and I have other friends who are now experiencing health challenges either themselves or with their family members. In dealing with them in conversation and/or actions, I thank Corinne for writing this book.
It has and will continue to help me in my interactions with others and in my own life as well. Thank you for this valuable addition to our personal library and to the library of life.
