Welcome to my website

An Invitation...

Embark on a heartwarming journey through this tale of love, courage, and miracles. Join Robin as she confronts her daughter Anna’s life-limiting prognosis, navigates the challenges of cystic fibrosis, and witnesses Anna’s miracle resurrection through a double lung transplant. Together, they defy the odds and are fueled by hope, gratitude and a quest for meaning and healing.

Follow them as they meet a Tibetan lama who opens their world with ancient healing rituals, have an audience with the Dalai Lama, and in one of her darkest hours, Anna experiences a healing blessing from a magical blue budgie. With her newfound lungs, Anna triumphs, realizing unexpected dreams and invites exciting adventures into their lives.

Love, Courage, and Miracles is more than a story. It is a testament to the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter entwined with the challenges of a devastating disease. Their journey is a powerful narrative of not just survival but living life to the fullest, showcasing the transformative power of love, acceptance, and hope.
