Alison Bonds Shapiro did everything right. She exercised, ate well, had a great love relationship, was successful in her career, and was living her dream of illustrating a children’s book. Without warning, she had two strokes. Her life would forever change.
Healing into Possibility is the story of Alison’s recovery. Like most of us when life changing events occur, at first she felt very sorry for herself. Why could this happen? What did she do wrong? There had to be a logical explanation and a plan that would make everything normal again.
Of course, life is never that simple. Nonetheless, it is from such times that we learn the most about ourselves and the importance of blessings we do have in our life. Sometimes, like Alison, we also discover a strength that we never knew existed.
