While recovering from #LongCOVID, #MECFS, #POTS I discovered I am an #artist & #childrensbooks #author. Even with #disability, limitations, and symptoms, I am learning to love my life, knowing that I am enough. I want to share my gifts to help others!

You're welcome! The books took me over 2 years to write, one sentence at a time. Weeks or months went by, I couldn't do anything on the books while in a symptom crash. They were entirely written from bed. I am blessed with friends who own a small publishing company and brought the stories to life.

#LongCOVID affects around 6 of 100 people who get COVID-19. Anyone can get it, all ages, all races, all genders. It can be mild to debilitating. Many people are unaware that they have it. These new children's books are a resource for raising awareness and empathy for what Long COVID feels like.

Love is the antidote to overcome the hate, fear, violence, and political divisiveness in our country. As MLK Jr. said, " Love is the most durable power in the world." To harness the power of love, start with loving yourself. I offer this to each of you. You are enough just as you are. #YouMatter
Artwork by Sara Robitaille, created with watercolor pens, many types of colorful flowers, and in the center, in black bold capital letters, the words, " YOU ARE ENOUGH."
