Turning Lemons Into Raspberry Lemonade: Making The Worst Experiences The Best Ever! - Hardcover

by Shirley a. Merritt (Author)

During her existence, Shirley has experienced many of life's tests and trying situations. She delights us with stories that are full of precious memories about her family, friends, love, and adventure. Her narrative also includes accounts of heartache and heartbreak. However, nothing was more devastating than receiving a diagnosis of MS and becoming totally disabled in 10 years. Shirley was in the prime of her life. She assumed that she was healthy. She was on top of the world with her whole life ahead of her when suddenly, she was given a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and several of the life-changing symptoms that go along with it. MS does not kill you, so she had to find a way to not only live with this progressive and debilitating illness... but to embrace it.

It has been Shirley's faith in God and the very close personal relationship she has with Him that has enabled her to not succumb to depression, remain strong and positive, be an overcomer, and never give up. She holds her head up high, living her life with the beautiful smile the Lord gave her. She is more than surviving. She is thriving and enjoying life!
