Ups, Downs And Silver Linings

by Taryn Debold Lagonigro, John W Debold (Editor)

Ups, Downs & Silver Linings is about love, loss, unexpected gifts and finding the beauty through all of it. Taryn takes readers through a battle with depression and anxiety, family health issues, the loss of both her mom and mother in law and a Down syndrome diagnosis and open heart surgery for her youngest daughter. Through it all, Taryn stays focused on gratitude, growth, and finding the silver linings in any situation.Dear Reader,For years, I felt like I was just living life on the surface. I was moving quickly through each day, trying to keep everything afloat but not enjoying the view. I found a gratitude practice and it changed everything. I started tuning in to the good in each situation, and suddenly I found a lot more beauty.My book covers a lot of topics, because it's mostly a snapshot of a time in my life where there was a lot of loss and big changes. One of those changes was when we learned our fourth daughter would be born with Down syndrome and would require open heart surgery when she was an infant. You'll see a pretty raw view of how that diagnosis was delivered and the journey my own mind had to take to come out the other side.Each chapter ends with a list of silver linings - my gratitude journal, if you will. Even in the really heavy situations - like the loss of my mom - you'll find what I was grateful for.I hope that this book will inspire you to look for the silver linings around you, even in those situations you wouldn't expect.In gratitude,Taryn
