"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." In this short guide to rebuilding optimism, breast cancer survivor April Capil shows you how.
Diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer at age 34, in the midst of an economic recession that closed her small business and deflated her home's value overnight, April Capil found herself where most people did in Fall of 2008: Not Where She Thought She'd Be. Twelve months later and officially in remission, Capil looked back through journals to investigate just how she was able to make it through the toughest year of her life in one piece - how she was, in fact, able to make lemonade out of lemons. Not a memoir, but, more of a road map through tough times, RECIPE FOR LEMONADE is the story of how the way we see the world determines the stories we tell ourselves, and how looking for sweetness - in the sourest of places - can help you rebuild our optimism one half-full glass at a time.
