About my Book
Given my life’s experiences and not knowing about my disability, my website and writing my book needed to happen. Where my website brings me peace and a sense of calm, my book gives me clarity around a disability I didn’t know I had.
Neither achievement was premeditated, as a child I never gave either a seconds thought. In fact I had no thoughts, aspirations or dreams as a child. I just knew about a bad leg and a bad foot and that I was failing in school.
For me, writing became a necessity, a valuable tool that has not only brought about an understanding of a disability I didn’t know I had, but has brought a new confidence in me that wasn’t there before. I have spirituality and emotionally grown through my experiences, years of penning pen to paper.
I am a completely different person now. Writing has changed me, changed my thinking; changed my perceptions; learning about myself through the process has brought about a sense of calm, but mustn’t be confused with everyday life.
I still get to live in the ‘real world’ and deal with a mental, emotional and physical disability. With a mental disability living in the real world proves difficult.
I never set out to prove myself to others. I needed to know about my disability. Working on both, I have learned everything about myself, I learned that I could put pen to paper that my words could bring clarity for others too.
Writing should be about learning about ourselves in a way that we didn’t know before and that is exactly what my blog @thecpdiary, and my book does. For the first time I have answers.
Writing my Book Cerebral Palsy: ‘A Story’ Finding the Calm after the Storm through years of negativity is a ‘positive story.’ It is available on Amazon http://amzn.to/2qrpiy8 /UK or Amazon http://amzn.to/2WPE2Vy US and in all good book stores, including Waterstones and Salts Mill.
