Staying Positive Despite Hardship

After her son’s death, a harrowing divorce, and much more, doctors discovered that Elisa Magagna had stage 4 melanoma—and they gave her two years to live. Despite having numerous tumors (including two in her brain), Elisa took her time to live to the fullest, enjoy life (sky diving, skinny dipping, and more), and even write a bestseller that continues to enlighten and uplift readers. Now, she’s enjoying public speaking where she can encourage others to embody gratitude and find the good, no matter what trials they might be facing.
