Living With HOPE Guest: Ann Pietrangelo

Shortly after I finished the manuscript for my book, "No More Secs!" Living, Laughing & Loving Despite Multiple Sclerosis," I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, a very aggressive form of the disease. I could have allowed the one-two punch to knock me out, but I'm still living, laughing, and loving because, after all, what is the alternative? I've also worked in a funeral home, so I understand how random life can be.

This body of mine has been under attack but continues to serve me well. None of my health issues has changed my outlook in life, largely because I focus on what is, not what may be. As for what is, there are a lot more positives in my life than negatives, and I let those positives lead the way.
