  1. Amazon Top 100 Memoir Enemy Within By Karen Ager

    What Brings About Change in People?Excerpt from Enemy Within by Karen Ager "Despite all my efforts, deep down I felt I was changing. My disease was not only influencing my body but also my spirit. The pain was starting to impact every dimension of my life. Until now it had been easy to ignore; it had been easy to deny. I had kicked it under the bed with all my half-read books. I thought I’d get back to it and deal with it later. But it got back to me first.

  2. Ashleigh/The Golden Rule/Acts of Kindness

    The tragedy in Arizona is another sad wake up call for our society. It is a reminder to love one another and to treat others with respect.

  5. The Writing Process

    Are there any Bloghers out there who have written a book? I am trying to get across the line with the final edits.

My memoir titled Enemy Within will be out in May and is a story that tells of love lost and found, hope, happiness and acceptance.

  6. Angel on my Shoulder

    Angel on my Shoulder by Natalie Cole is the song that my sister in law and brother cried to at the lighting of the Xmas tree at the Rockefeller Center when she had finished chemo. Now the song is about hope to me. I have teamed up with Jeffrey Gottfurcht to help him make dreams of kids with RA come true. He found me on twitter and we are both working to public raise awareness. I feel like I have an angel on my shoulder these days who is also making my dreams come true despite my daily battles with this pain.  Read more >
