Summary
There’s very little in life that’s predictable or promised- except for the guarantee of the unexpected to happen. Whether it’s a small thing like getting stuck in traffic or a big thing like getting stuck inside for over a year, how do you find yourself responding?
Although we can’t predict or control what happens to us, we can certainly choose how we’ll respond. Nobody more beautifully demonstrates that than my dear friend, Katherine Wolf.
Katherine is a communicator and advocate. She married her husband Jay in 2004 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Their son, James was born in 2007, and six months later Katherine’s life nearly ended with a catastrophic stroke. Miraculously, she survived and continues her recovery to this day, including having a miracle baby, John in 2015. Katherine and Jay have shared their journey of steadfast hope through their books, Hope Heals and Suffer Strong, and at speaking events both live and online before millions. Together, they founded Hope Heals camp, a community for families with disabilities like them. Katherine, Jay, and their two sons live in the Atlanta area.
