I wrote the poems in this collection over a period of more than
four years - from 25 January 2012 (Before your life is through) to
22 June 2016 (Survive and thrive together).In March 2013, I went to
bed one night feeling absolutely fine and awoke the next morning
barely able to move, with no feeling at all in my right arm. I
spent a few months in absolute agony, unable to use my hands, I
wasn't able to do much for myself and could hardly walk before I
was eventually diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Treatment began
easing things a little but the following year I was dealt a second
blow when I was told that I also have Scleroderma, a rare disease
for which there is currently no cure. I decided then that I
couldn't give up. I had to fight all the way. I wanted to help
raise awareness and use my experiences to help others who are
encountering hardships to understand that our mind is a powerful
tool and whatever life brings, we can choose not to dwell on the
negatives and find something positive to focus on. The illnesses
reduced my physical capacity profoundly. They can often be
life-limiting and drastically reduce life expectancy. I have chosen
to let them give me a new perspective on life - how we have to
cherish everybody and every moment while we still can.If, through
my words, I can encourage even just one other person to connect
more deeply with life's riches, and develop new optimism, my life
won't have been in vain. I have selected the poems for this
collection specifically because I have a passionate wish to help
others to benefit from the very precious help and guidance I have
received. Alison Rhodes
