Author Life

Paulo Coelho once said that we need to start acting otherwise one day we will have no more time to do the things we always dream of. Countless times, I heard that life after a stroke would be different. They suggested adapting to my new reality, but I refused to let disabilities dictate my limits.It was only after my stroke that I realized my childhood dream of writing a book. Writing has always been my solace since I could read and write. Documenting my journey with the stroke helped me accept what happened and view life differently. I have a newfound joy I never experienced before the stroke.Despite the pain and distress of my stroke, I have experienced tremendous growth and resilienc...

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on? Right now I’m just living. That’s a long way from existing. Currently I don’t know my title. I don’t want to put myself in a box. You could say I’m a published author with five books.

He could and he did, and I never looked back. What I had lacked was a disciplined approach. Thankfully, he taught me that...

Introduction.At the end of the Afterward and Acknowledgments section of The Summer of the Ennead, I wrote, “This story is the result of the life I have lived. It would not have happened had I not lived it the way I did with both its successes and its failures, and I could not have imagined it at any other time in my life.”In that short passage, I acknowledged the power of failure in my life; failure can be a great teacher whereas success tends to make us complacent. I am sorry for my failures, but I am grateful for what I have learned from them. I also know that I could not have imagined it at any other time of my life because I had tried and until January 2022, it just was not ready to ...
