My 50 year relationship with my favorite soldier
It is her story of embracing risk and change and learning to dance with them. Beginning with a painting of life in Fiji that cradles readers so softly that they wish that they had been born there, readers then accompany her on an adventure to Canada as her family relocates. There is no way to grasp her family's insistence she marry a stranger. Her parents, victims of cultural conformity, insist that she stay with him regardless of the physical and mental abuse he inflicts. Veena's choices inspire readers to deny fear it's power and to embrace change so they can become the authors of their own stories.
This is the true story of 12 year old Billy Spahn, a happy, athletic, energetic kid from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Going up to his family’s cottage was always the highlight of his summer. On July 3, 1975, Billy dove into the lake and broke his neck. His family was told he was a quadriplegic and he should be put in a nursing home. His family never accepted that prognosis and they never told Billy that he wouldn’t walk again. This is the story of one child’s strength and determination to retrain his body and get his life back. Bill Spahn became a successful businessman, in addition to having his own fishing show. He retired at the age of 45, a multi-millionaire. This book is a true testament to what can be accomplished with courage, faith, hope and love – and, most importantly, when you… Never Give Up!
My passion and dedication for nursing are the reasons that made me love my profession and inspired me to write a book. With so many years working in this kind of profession, I have realized it and always feel it deep in my heart that anytime I take care of an individual, I get some sort of emotional connection. It gives me a feeling of satisfaction and happiness as a person--a feeling that I am capable of performing and giving my best ability and to the fullest in providing an excellent care to anyone. With this growing special attachment in me, it makes me stronger and stronger and better able to deal with so many difficult situations in life. No one deserves to die. We all deserve a second chance. I hope to give my readers an inspiration and learning experience by sharing with them my stories and memories of my many years of experiences as a member of the health profession.
