It is my hope that this little book will be a source of clarity, and support for anyone seeking an ability-driven life, as well as for the mental health professionals, medical support staff, caregivers, friends, and family members who care about and for them. We are all called upon to empower ourselves and others to achieve a life of meaning, fulfillment, and purpose. 1.
