When Marisa Zeppieri was 22-years-old she found herself face-to-face with a raven-haired elderly woman who had emerged from a crowd and gently taken her hands: God will use these hands to change people's lives.Years later Marisa's once-spirited demeanor was shrouded in anger and bitterness. Triggered first by a near-fatal car accident that sent her 100-lb body flying from a crosswalk and later by a painful Lupus diagnosis, she became stuck in a season of brokenness.But in the seasons that followed, an insatiable emotional, spiritual, and physical hunger took over: She learned how to nourish her broken body with the help of food, herbs, and a gastronomically-gifted Italian grandmother, while also nourishing her broken heart and crushed spirit through a deeper relationship with God.With Chronically Fabulous, Marisa fulfills the old woman's prophecy by offering pure nourishment to those of us living with chronic illness, helping us create wholeness and well-being through a love of food. Here, the founder of LupusChick, a nonprofit supporting those with autoimmune diseases, offers guiding principles, personal stories, and recipes that support whole-life thriving. With the depth, smarts, and spiritual advice beloved by her dedicated followers, Marisa shows us how faith, passion, and persistence can radically change our lives.

Change is inevitable. How we react to it is purely our choice. This collection of essays was mid-production when the phrase "shelter-in-place" became a common household conversation. As Fearless and Fabulous authors, the only choice was to keep moving forward and in doing so, inspire others to do the same! Our power lies within and among. Much like a single butterfly, each of the sixteen contributing authors has decided at some point in their life to make the personal choice to break through whatever is holding them back, reach for the light, and create a life worth living. Each has found the courage to go for what they want and make the changes necessary--not just in order to survive, but to thrive. Each year, during Fall migration, Monarch butterflies join together for their northward journey. The strength of the group--also known as a kaleidoscope--serves to protect and support each other along the way. Similarly, the power of the collective shines forth in the stories shared between the covers of this book. United in collaboration, these authors share their wisdom as their gift to you on your personal journey. Please accept our invitation to join our kaleidoscope as we fearlessly navigate, hand-in-hand, towards a fabulous new earth! "What do you want, Butterfly?" Let's go do that.

Using the baseball analogy that is the woven throughout the book, Wayne Rickman in Fair-to-Fabulous in Fifteen Minutes has hit a homerun! Drawing upon his extensive experience in marketing, sales, coaching, parenting, and life, Mr. Rickman has succeeded where many of his predecessors have not. Fair-to-Fabulous is not only entertaining and inspirational, but it is also educational and useful. Rather than simply relying upon feel good stories or five rules for a lifetime of bliss, the book employs the use of questions rather than pat answers. By posing carefully crafted sets of basic questions and open lists for the reader to consider and then answer in each chapter, by the end the reader has not only been on an illuminating journey of self-discovery, but even more importantly a clearer path forward towards a more rich and rewarding personal and professional life. It truly does take you around the proverbial bases and by the time you reach home plate, you really do feel fabulous about your ability to shape and respond to what the future has in store. Love Fair to Fabulous, this is a winner Wayne. Andy Abrams, President and Dean Charleston School of Law
