Death Sentence from a Doctor The words seemed to fall from her lips like they were encased in lead," You only have eight months to live." At first, I could not believe what I was hearing. It was like I was having a nightmare, without being asleep. The Doctor went on, "You will need a liver transplant, and extensive drug therapy." What? After the initial shock wore down some, I rejected this option. No I refused to become yet another statistic. Hepatitis C was doing it's dreaded best to suck the life blood right out of me, yet I was not going to have it. In our youth, we all seem to have a way of convincing ourselves that we are bullet proof, and that things like this "did not happen to us." Yet here I was, surrounded by Doctors and nurses, all looking at me like I was but an inscription on a headstone. Things like this have a way of shaking us to the very core of our foundation. I was shook. One of the most powerful elements in my total recovery, was my determination. I would not give up the hope, that somehow I would look back on this day and think, "the Devil swung at me, and missed." We all have choices to make in everyday life. I chose to live and not die young. You too, have the same choice. Humans have an in-born desire to continue living, even when facing incredible odds. I used this desire to fuel my determination to beat this. Learn what I did, and how I did it. The purpose of this book, is to share with others the exact things I did, and how I did them. Build a fire within yourself, use that fire to do something positive. Today my Doctors are amazed to find that I now have the liver of a twenty-year old

Nadia Finley offers a lifestyle program that is practical and easy to understand. Based on her own life experiences, Finley developed the "Project Elinor" program for those dealing with personal hardship, and for any one of us who simply want to lead healthier, happier lives.

In this book, Finley guides readers through pathways to emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. By sharing her moving story about the loss of her mother, Finley provides unique perspectives to overcome any of life's obstacles, accompanied by a series of practical exercises to help you through the process. You will understand how to separate the mind from the body when coping with negative experiences and learn strategies for gaining control of the mind when things are at their worst. Essentially, you will learn how to "live" life - as opposed to being "victim"ized by it.

In order to refer to the manner of life's difficulties in a clear and simple way, Finley conceptualizes these hardships as "Illnesses', "demonstrating how these experiences can negatively affect your overall well-being. Therefore, in this book, the term "Illness'" is not necessarily linked to a physical sickness, but rather it is connected to your personal struggle with any of the following: the loss of a loved one; loss of a job; loss of self-esteem or self-identity; the breakdown of a marriage or relationship; or a drastic change in your financial status. You determine what your "Illness" is. To put it simply, our "Illnesses" are our most profound negative life experiences, the kinds of experiences that each of us must contend with at one point or another. This book offers the tools needed for optimizing every experience and opportunity that life will provide, despite the negative circumstances that any of us fear to face and overcome at the present time.
