As I watched my four darling children from my wheelchair, I realized this battle through illness had never been about ringing the bell and surviving the fire. I had what mattered all along. The only thing more powerful than fear, sickness, regret, and loss... the only thing stronger than death is love. Nothing could take that away from me.

So, whether I died in my 40s or someone created a miracle cure, I needed to discover peace within myself before it was too late. Yet, as I reflected on recent adventures—swimming in Jamaica, fiddling in New York, backpacking across Italy, and skydiving with family—I couldn’t help thinking about the irony. While crossing items off my bucket list as a terminal cancer patient, I’d found purpose in the most unexpected places.

How odd that it took dying for me to truly live.

This book exceeded my expectations and caused me to start thinking more about how I can contribute to the world. I read it after EC Stilsons reels started coming across my social media. I was inspired and blown away by her serene, truthful and inspiring posts. In her book she shares entertaining, funny, and thought provoking stories of her life... both before and after her cancer diagnosis. I loved the small details sprinkled throughout that were nothing short of true miracles. She shares pure joy and raw pain. Her outlook on life, and the way she relates to the world..even in the midst of a heartbreaking diagnosis will leave you speechless. This was a fun, poignant and uplifting read!

EC Stilson has a God given talent to put thoughts into words and so eloquently!

One thing that she wrote in this book:
“It goes to show that words have the power to hurt or heal.”
(That sentence needs to be framed and hanging in every home!)

Order ANY of her amazing books. You won’t be disappointed!

I read this book in four days. The author speaks from the heart about her will to survive despite having Stage four cancer. She uplifts her readers and shows she is human with true feelings. She has good days and bad. But her fierceness to stay alive astounds me. She shows humility, love for family and her husband Mike. She inspires us to live each day to the fullest, let little successes in life be Godwinks. Spend time with everyone she encounters and really listen to them. A beautiful and sensitive read. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and love EC Stilson.
