Overview

Just a tiny flap of pig tissue, but such an influence in Diana's life. She began by sewing the tissue into heart valves, moved on to engineering a new concept modifying the orifice of the valve, and finally founded a medical device manufacturing company. Her childhood on a farm, with its exposure to incessant hard work and the pain of childhood sexual abuse, instilled in her the strength and determination necessary to conquer a mystifying and debilitating illness, her husband's attempt to take over her company, and her desires so forceful they pose threats to her very identity. Join Diana as she strives to maintain her audacious grasp on life and learns that wallowing in the mud may be necessary for a time, but staying there is not allowed.

Author Information

DIANA WRIGHT is a visionary who views her life as a blank canvas meant to be rendered in audacious color. She was born in 1947 and grew up on a farm in rural Minnesota. Balancing full time work, part time school, parenting, and being a wife to a Vietnam veteran, after nine years she earned her degree in biological science at CSU Fullerton. She went on to engineer medical devices and later founded her own medical device manufacturing company. Diana worked with a heart surgeon in London, oversaw production facilities in Holland, and coordinated with a world wide sales force. She bravely shares a segment of her story here so that others might create their own portrait of vitality. Dr. BERNIE DeCOKE grew up in Colorado, where she obtained an MA in Psychology/Guidance & Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado. She became a college instructor and therapist, a warrior with a mission to help students and clients build a core of dignity and self-respect. Later, she merged the body, mind, and spirit triad she believes necessary for total health with doctorates in Naturopathy and Metaphysics. Bernie perfectly complements Diana's voice and contributes much to interpreting Diana's story.
