Summary

Will my world be limited to a bed and a wheelchair for the rest of my life? How will I be able to live my passion of helping others? Will I ever make beautiful art again?

In January 2016, life took an unexpected turn for Marilyn Miller Lowry when a stroke abruptly had her asking those questions—and more.

In the years since, Lowry examined her life and made dramatic changes that opened up more possibilities than she ever imagined. Grateful to be able to author A Stroke of Magic, Lowry uses her background as a counselor to share candid observations of the trauma that comes with unexpected physical disability.

Stroke survivors and their loved ones will find a roadmap to healing in the eight gifts that come from a more magical and meaningful perspective:

Self-love • Anger • Gratitude • Patient Resilience • Endings • Choosing Surrender • Restored Confidence • Hope

Join Marilyn Miller Lowry as she shares how to turn life's challenges into stepping stones for a more authentic, joy-filled existence!

Critic reviews

"If you are seeking genuine and meaningful growth in overcoming, this book is a must read. Marilyn Lowry candidly shares the navigation of her own life-altering event with a richness of self-discovery and renewal that guides, teaches, and counsels the reader through any challenge of their own, large or small. An inspiring read, extremely helpful, and soul-delicious!" Howard Caesar Ret. Unity Minister, speaker, and bestselling author of One + One is One

"I really like how Marilyn illustrated the context for her present-day transformation with her previous life experiences—that maybe given the learning she experienced as a child, she needed certain life experiences to teach her what she needed to know even though sometimes the gifts were hard to see in the moment (e.g., a failing marriage, a mean boss, or a stroke). Her willingness to see the experiences from her life and her stroke as much needed lessons that perhaps she could not have learned any other way is very inspiring." Dr. Eleanor Stein, M.D. Asst. Clinical Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry, University of Calgary, Canada

"Marilyn is inviting us to an intimate journey through her life of recovery. Her book is enlightening and instructive for healing on many levels. She gives the reader valid suggestions for living a more authentic life. As she states, “I am writing my story in this book as a source of encouragement for anyone who feels their confidence challenged in any way.” Jo Nan Carr, artist, author, free spirit
