Finding Strong

Learning to live, love, and laugh after tragedy.

Welcome

by · October 4, 2017

 

Hi.  Welcome to Finding Strong.  I’m excited to offer this blog in memory of the strongest woman I’ve known, Leigh Cooper Wallace.  My purpose is to share Leigh’s message: that there is life, love, and laughter after tragedy; that no matter how you may have been victimized or traumatized, you can pick up the pieces and regain control of your life; that you can choose not to remain a victim.

    Nice to be back in touch with you Claude; disappointed we didn’t get a visit again this year with you & Louise. Read the book twice, a remarkable young lady in every sense. She left a legacy to not only those who knew her, but also to those of us who didnt!!
    Thanks for the invite my friend.
