I have co-authored, along with Jack Canfield and other luminaries, a powerful book called How the Fierce Handle Fear: Secrets to Succeeding in Challenging Times.

My chapter is entitled: “Befriending God” in which I talk about the importance of spirituality in helping us to cope with life’s many challenges, including serious illness.

This chapter outlines my own spiritual journey which began the day my husband was about to undergo an emergency Quintuple Bypass surgery at a young age.

In order to overcome major health issues and live our lives to the fullest, we need to overcome fear, build resilience, and be willing to surrender to a Higher Power. This is easier said than done! However, we all have within us untapped tools and resources that we overlook in our quest to take charge and be in total control of our lives.
