Every life has challenges. The path of every journey has rough
patches. It isn't the crises' we face that define our lives nor our
possession or lack of an amazing physical appearance that defines
us. We are defined by our spirit. The spirit we display while
moving through any moment in our lives. To get to Carnegie Hall you
"practice, practice, practice." When journeying successfully
through life is the goal, every moment is practice for the next.
Having successfully recovered from stage four Non-Hodgkin's
Lymphoma, Kelly Killough asked a most unexpected question. "Why me?
Why have I survived when so many others have not?" That question
led to a deep curiosity and lengthy in-depth research into the
physical and mental changes he had made during his recovery. How
did he benefit from his new found knowledge of nutrition and
exercise? What part did attitude play in his approach to a
potentially deathly challenge? What was the expanded meaning of the
trust he placed in his medical team, friends and family? How would
he now define success in his future life? In "Draw Me LIKE an
Angel" (Kelly's N. E. A. T. approach to living bountifully
regardless of circumstances), each of these questions is approached
in a practical, plainly spoken, awareness building manner. The
information is served "family style." The application is "a la
cart" at the reader's discretion. With the help of two personable
angels, one suffering an inglorious condition, the other serving as
an "angelic" guide, Kelly describes how each of the four pillars of
N. E. A. T. add to a bountiful life lived in the moment. There is
no perfect path to a bountiful existence. We can benefit from the
tools we are provided but we must choose to use them at any given
moment. With an awareness of the tools in our box, choosing to act
comes easier. When a sweet and youthful girl, also suffering the
slings and arrows of cancer, asked Kelly, not to be drawn to "look"
as an angel might but to draw her "like" an angel, Kel

If like me you have an interest in military history, have you ever
visited a military war grave cemetery? Walking past the immaculate
rows of headstones, at first I tend to look at each individual name
in detail, but after a while the names just fade to a blur because
there are just so many of them. Soon you are no longer looking at
the name but the battalion or regiment, and in the bigger
cemeteries after about fifty rows of headstones, the scale of loss
is so great it is impossible to appreciate every single stone
marker. Standing back and looking at the whole scene, it's
difficult to remember that each one of those headstones symbolises
one lost person, a husband, a father or a brother. Each headstone
is a permanent reminder that he or she] had a face, a family, and a
story to tell, a story that saw them lose their lives for the
defence of others, surely worth remembering, but as you look again
around the cemetery, how many people's stories buried in there are
known to anyone at all? This book is about one of those stories,
Sgt Robert L. Todd. Nine men lost their lives at 6am on the morning
of April 5th 1945 in a B-17 takeoff accident in Cambridgeshire,
England. In the scheme of things you might say that nine men in a
war that took millions is nothing, hardly worth remembering, but
when we see their faces, when we hear their friends and colleagues
talk about them with such reverence, suddenly for a moment they
become the most important story of all. Robert Todd's story was
literally 'Found in a Foot Locker' many years after his death, and
this is my attempt to share his experience with you.
