What I like about your writing is that you always introduce me to people I have never heard of before (vis. the subject of this article) and/or put new and unique spins on a lot of old ideas.
The assumption that people will stay where they always stayed is usually so.
I'm confident if she had stayed in that environment, under those conditions, she surely would not have survived longer.
The fresh air, activity free from wearing burdens, cutting loose from every loved one being gone, freedom from constant mocking attitudes from local yokels, loving care from the world at large : restores purpose joy reward for living.
She worked long and hard for a rewarding retirement, and a payback that made it all worth the Battle.
I praise the Lord for such great endings to apparently pointless lives!
We read The Ride of Her Life in my book club in January. It was a great book to discuss-one of our best discussions in a long time. I highly recommend this book. I was able to get a copy of the book she wrote at our library. Buying a copy was too expensive as they are collectible.
I read The Ride of Her Life and was spellbound. What a woman. What a story. It is amazing what is possible when we just decide to go do it and not worry about all the reasons we can't. Thank you for getting her story in front of more people. She is truly inspirational.

Thanks, David, what a nice thing to say. She was such an inspiring woman and almost no one knows about her. :)
Love this story.
The doctor wasn't a jackass.

That was a really fun story, thanks for writing it!
I read “The Ride of Her Life”
I love this!! Thank you for introducing us to Mesannie!
Well, I guess her physician with the poor prognosis for her life expectancy should have been called the “jackass doctor.”
Annie’s dream gave her the impetus to keep moving...and in doing so she found her voice!
Great story. Love it!
There are so many stories like this, and I’m grateful that you are bringing them to light.
