Publisher: iUniverse, Inc. (2008)
Binding: Paperback, 66 pages
Any person with any disability, or family and friends, can relate to Mark Smith's message. Although Mark was born with Cerebral Palsy (not MS) he writes, "You didn't choose your disabilty, but you can choose how you live with it."
The book itself is small in size but packed with encouragement to rise above our physical limitations and continue to dream and thrive.
In his introduction he writes a quote by Mother Teresa: "One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody."
He goes on to say:
"My hope is that through your reading of this book, these strategies toward not only mastering disability, but also life, will help you continue moving forward, from surviving to thriving, a journey that will change your life and the lives of those you touch."
All of us with MS know life can be a struggle but how we deal with our disease and go on with our life is what Mark writes about.
He talks about becoming a parent, accepting who you are, becoming better - not bitter (I like that), finding your faith, relationships and pursuing passions, among other things.
This book is packed with power and in the end, he wants to hear from you. He is also a public speaker. www.Wheelchairjunkie.com is Mark's website.
Some of the best gifts come in small packages.
