Rethinking Possible: Rebecca Galli's Journey from Grief to Gratitude
Rebecca Galli was no stranger to hardship by the time her son died of a degenerative disease, her daughter diagnosed with autism, and an unusual infection left Rebecca in a wheelchair when her children were young, shortly after her once idyllic marriage ended in divorce. Rebecca learned to parent from a wheelchair, and to turn her writing talents into a career as a columnist who continues to focus on gratitude and resilience today.
