She was an elite athlete, professor, special education teacher and coach but in her twenties, Diane was diagnosed with a debilitating and incurable blood disease called cryoglobulinemia vasculitis. Pain became her constant companion. She was devastated and lost all that was important to her. Thinking she was better off dead than disabled she contemplated suicide.

Through this experience she learned the secret to happiness and that God still has a purpose and plan for her life even if her body is broken. She is an expert in perseverance and overcoming seeminglyinsurmountable obstacles. The disease turned into a gift that allows her to captivate the corporate executive, the athlete, the coach, the prisoner… She is Satan’s worst nightmare because she will not give up!
