Strength doesn’t come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the

things you once thought you couldn’t. 

We all have our struggles in life but with Determination

we can live a happy life.

 

Hello and Welcome to Determination Bridge!

I’m excited to share my new website with you—Determination Bridge. This is a personal space where I reflect on the lessons life has taught me and explore the journey of growth and discovery.

Here, you'll find stories, insights, and experiences from my own life that I hope will resonate with you and offer some guidance as you navigate your own path. Whether it’s about overcoming challenges, finding purpose, or simply learning from everyday moments, my goal is to connect and inspire through shared experiences.

I invite you to join me on this journey. Visit and dive into the lessons I’ve learned. I hope you find something that speaks to you and helps you along your own path.

Warmly,
Linda

If you’ve found your way to this site, you may discover something new—perhaps a condition you’ve never heard of, or something that helps you better understand what you or a loved one is facing.

Here, you’ll find excerpts from my autobiography, originally written for my grandchildren. Along the way, I realized that if I could make my story engaging and honest, others might also find comfort, insight, or meaning in my life’s lessons.

I write openly about many health challenges I have faced, including an anencephalic pregnancy, dermatomyositis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, fibromyalgia, thyroid cancer, spinal stenosis, and others.

I also share my thoughts and experiences around deeply personal and often difficult subjects such as suicide, drug and alcohol addiction, cancer, sexual abuse, COVID-19, living a chemical-free life, grief, and spirituality.

Living with a disability can change a person in profound ways. It can be painful and limiting—but it can also invite deeper self-reflection and inspire the changes that truly matter.

This is the story of how I transformed my way of living through self-education, resilience, and by welcoming spirituality into my heart and soul.
