About this Book: |
|
Conversations With Myself is a snapshot of growth and endurance through the eyes of someone challenged by a chronic disease whose symptoms are often invisible and misunderstood. Not misunderstood, however, is the author’s adage for living life to the fullest, despite adversity. This is an unintentional autobiography of a journey through relationships, circumstance, and soul searching. Monica’s essays and poetic hiccups embrace her roadblocks, always delving deeply, discovering the often overlooked lessons life presents so artfully.
