Acerca de los autores

Activist / Author / Entrepreneur / WarriorAs a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, author, entrepreneur and encourager, Rona likes to think of herself as a love-caster!Prior to being diagnosed with lung cancer, she worked in Human Resources Management, as an Educator at a local business college, and enjoyed a journey halfway through a PhD program in Organizational Psychology. As her health challenges grew, her inner warrior emerged even greater. Today, she advocates for greater awareness and increased funding to aid in new therapies for lung cancer and lung health. This is an example of her glass-full perspective and how she finds the good in just about any situation as she wears optimism well. A scripture she lives by is, Proverbs 11:27, "If you search for good, you'll find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you!"Her philosophy: "My daughter keeps me young at heart. My husband keeps me protected and warm at night. My mother keeps me humble, and my sister keeps me real. Together with all my friends and family I stay laughing, but most of all, I'm loved and I love to love." Another scripture she lives by, Proverbs 17:22, "Being cheerful keeps you healthy" GNT, or "A cheerful heart is good medicine" NIV. Her mantra, "I will love, live, and laugh; sharing the blessings bestowed upon me as I fulfill each day's purpose!" Psalms 118:17linkedin.com/in/rona-cook-white/
