What People Are Saying About "Wheelchair Wisdom:" "Wheelchair Wisdom is a book brimming with fearlessness, optimism, and a sense of possibility. Linda Noble Topf's compassion and practical advice have the power to shatter widespread notions of what it's like to spend time in a wheelchair, and inspire those challenged by injury or illness." --Arianna Huffington, President and Editor-in-Chief, The Huffington Post Media Group; Author of Thrive! "Wheelchair Wisdom bears testimony to what Linda has learned and experienced--the importance of each of us being authentic to a higher self. It describes how, regardless of circumstances, each one of us can move through life in a creative way, using the simple steps that Linda has discovered." --Bernie Siegel MD, Author of Love, Medicine and Miracles "During the thirty years since Linda Noble Topf was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, she has turned the limitations of illness into limitless opportunities for growth in relationships, intimacy, self-worth, gratitude, confidence, and creativity. In Wheelchair Wisdom, she shares these discoveries in a way that will transform the lives of her readers--illuminating the possibilities open to all of us, to express joy in our power, freedom, self-expression, and peace of mind--whether living with an illness, confronting an injury, or embracing the aging process." --Gerald Jampolsky, MD; and Diane Cirincione, PhD, Authors of A Mini Course for Life, Change Your Mind - Change Your Life, Love is the Answer, and Finding Our Way Home An MS patient since 1981 and an advocate for disability rights, Linda Noble Topf has been an ordained minister since 1984, a spiritual and wellness coach, professional speaker, design and marketing entrepreneur, wife of 35 years, and a published author. She is dedicated to assisting others in seeing that chronic illness, debilitating injury, or any kind of adversity in any stage of life, can be viewed as a spiritual awakening, and an opportunity for personal growth. Linda has lived with illness for over 30 years, but her intrinsic inner health has taught her that dealing with illness means more than getting rid of it. Linda has a natural inclination toward growth; so rather than forcing transformation to happen because of her physical challenges, she created ideal conditions for natural transformation to thrive. She identified key qualities she could focus on and strengthen/cultivate within herself, and used these core strengths to bring forth for herself a new transformational, creative experience of self-expression. Linda Noble Topf is also the author of "You Are Not your Illness: Seven Principles for Meeting the Challenge," which shows that illness, injury, or disability can not only physically alter the course of your life, but can also cause great emotional upheaval and loss of self-worth. In this remarkable and uplifting book, Linda delves deeply into her own experience to share with readers the keys to regaining emotional and spiritual wholeness. Linda believes that real healing has nothing to do with the state of the physical body, and she offers a compassionate and inspirational message--along with support, skills, and encouragement--to those who want to embrace the challenge of living successfully with illness. It is her intention to leave people transformed with more power, freedom, self expression, and peace of mind. Linda's second book, Wheelchair Wisdom™: Awaken Your Spirit through Adversity, shatters widespread notions of what it's like to spend life in a wheelchair, which addresses the unique circumstances of the millions of people in wheelchairs. She wants to convey the message that lies at the heart of her convictions--that people are more than their wheelchairs, more than their disabled bodies. Wheelchair Wisdom™ bears testimony to what Linda has learned and experienced--that each of us, regardless of circumstances, can move through life with freedom in a creative and joyful way.
