The Greatness Within

In 2008, Louise Richardson was taken ill with an ME type illness and a cerebral aneurysm. Her world came to an abrupt stop and everything she had worked hard for came crashing down around her. Louise thought that she had nothing to look forward to and felt very stuck in a situation, not of her choosing. She had a responsible job, money, lovely home and was studying for a degree. Just the previous month she had been travelling and had no indication of what was to come. Having spent a number of years within the confines of her home, Louise decided to take back control of her life and began, very slowly, to find things that she was able to attempt. Louise used poetry to escape her confines and to release her emotions and to finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Along with poetry, Louise also paints and has revived her love of singing and dancing. She hopes that you find this book both interesting and helpful. Perhaps you are in a dark place at the moment and cannot see a way out, you just need some motivation or the knowledge that someone has the understanding and way forward for how you are feeling at this time. Whatever the reason, please enjoy the read!
