Love and Accept Yourself Now: A Memoir

Crissa was diagnosed with invasive ovarian cancer in 2005 and had two major operations, chemo and radiation. While undergoing chemo treatments, a counselor told her to stand in front of a mirror and say, "I love you." Brain scientists tell us that every thought we have affects all parts of our body. If you have too many negative, self critical thoughts, it's bad for your health and for your relationships. Wise people like the Dalai Lama and the late Wayne Dyer say that you can't love and accept others until you learn to love and accept yourself. And humanity needs to love and accept others now more than ever.
The first part of the book describes Crissa's shocking cancer journey and how some wonderful angel-like people helped her cope with her life threatening diagnosis.
The second part is a collection of short stories about people who did not fully love and accept themselves. Their lives reflected that sad attitude and show how vital it is for all of us to shed harmful and self critical attitudes.
The third part shows how powerful love is in all aspects of life. More short stories show the transformative power of love and gratitude in people's lives. The book ends with a short essay that urges humanity to shed negative judgemental attitudes so that we can work together to create a more cooperative world.
