Why Not Me [Paperback]

Shawns entire life has been a series of ups and downs, culminating in signs and symptoms of an impending rare medical diagnosis. In his story, meant not as a pity party, but as a chance to inspire and motivate others to overcome, Shawn describes how he has learned to face adversity with his chin up. His hope is to show how one persons stumbling blocks can be turned into stepping stones. Shawn wants to show others that life is just thatlifeand it is fragile. We need to learn to live for every moment and not take even a second for granted. Shawn hopes to inspire others to step outside of their norm and enjoy the stars or the song of a bird or the faces of their loved ones, because things change in the blink of an eye. Shawn uses his sense of humor and his unique view of life to show others that when life isn't what you planned, make new plans.
