This is an amazing quote and very apt. I can honestly say EVERYONE should buy your book. What I don't understand is why you wouldn't buy it? Your book is absolutely perfect for Covid-19 times.
It costs us dearly when we fail to think about or deal with our mental health. For anyone struggling with their emotions in Covid, then Cerebral Palsy: 'A Story' is for you.
Boy, isn't that true. There were so many books that I should have read but didn't that would have helped me in my life.
I read a lot of self help books when I was young, but never dealt with the underlying issues. My mission was supposed to be taking care of my mother, when it should have been the other way around.
I'm thinking that I should finally get around to writing the book that I always have wanted to write, like what not to do in life, which I now have plenty of experience with!
Thanks Randy. It is absolutely true. In Covid-19 never truer. The one thing we're not really dealing with is our mental and emotional health. My book helps with that.
Yes, dealing with the underlying issues is always a good idea. I hope that now your mother is no longer in your life, you have the opportunity.
