Attitude & Gratitude

By: Patricia Sabena

Patricia Sabena has experienced a deep childhood, immense tragedies and challenges, and amazing blessings. She takes us with her on her journey from elementary school to college, to finding and losing love and finding it once again, through the pain of loss to the joy of growth. Sabena's life story is moving, humorous, personally revealing, and inspiring. She sets out not to brag about the joys she has found in life but to provide testimony to human mistakes, unlikely interventions, luck, and faith.
